Rangemaster have designed the perfect recipe for cooking with your little ones – their scrumptious and indulgent Chocolate Malteser cake. It’s a simple hands on recipe, and kids will no doubt enjoy getting messy with the batter and decorating with Maltesers!
They also point out that Rangemaster makes for the perfect cooker when baking with children. Their innovative induction hobs offer one of the safest and most efficient methods of cooking available, plus a special L1 hob setting creates a constant temperature to gently melt chocolate – no bain marie required! Induction cooking works by directly heating the pan itself rather than the surface, which keeps the hob cooler and less hazardous in the family kitchen. A child lock feature is also useful when whipping up treats with young children.
We don't have a Rangemaster but I think we may have to give this recipe a try - yum !
