TLAC 60×90 Standing Cooker (often listed as 60×90 or 90×60 cm, models like I-9012T or similar variants) is a popular freestanding cooker in Kenya, blending gas and electric cooking for versatility. It’s designed for medium to large households, with 4 gas burners for fast, cost-effective stovetop cooking (ideal with LPG) and 2 electric rapid hot plates for backup or precise electric heating. The electric oven adds baking/grilling capability without relying on gas.
This is a hybrid cooker—great for Kenyan kitchens where gas is common but power backup or electric options provide flexibility. It’s from TLAC (a brand common in East Africa for affordable appliances), with a sturdy build and features suited to everyday use like ugali, stews, chapati, and oven-baked items.
