Want to find the right range for your kitchen?
There are a variety of options to choose from and
there are several variables to consider, including
efficiency, performance and features.
Electric ranges are popular due to their affordability,
and can be found liberally in city apartments. There
are two types of cooktop heating methods: coil burners
and smoothtop cooktops. While both cook food evenly,
the smoothtops are more stylish, easier to clean and
use more sophisticated heating properties. Sophistication
though comes at a price. Expect to pay more.
Gas ranges provide for customized heating settings depending on your cooking needs. Gas models ignite and get to work immediately. With more advanced and powerful cooking controls, gas ranges are more expensive than their electric counterparts.
Custom cooking preferences are now possible with programmable cooking options. You can custom program a variety of temperature settings based on your meal volume and schedule. This allows you to better plan and manage any meal, regardless of size.
Consider This
Range models include freestanding, drop-in and slide-in.
Some models can be programmed to stop when your food is cooked.
