              Comments about GE 30" JGB281DERCC Bisque Free-Standing Gas Range:

              I had a difficult time finding a gas range in bisque color. This oven looks perfect in my kitchen and is working great.

              Service and delivery comments:

              It was a concern living in Nebraska and ordering from a Chicago based company, but things went smoothly. We ordered on a Thursday and the oven arrived on a Tuesday. The delivery went great. They called first and carefully unloaded the boxed range by my front door. When we found that a drawer runner had broke while shipped, Abt sent out a new one within a week. We were able to install that new runner easily on our own.

                As a homemaker I use the GE gas range 3-4 times a day. It bakes as good as an convection oven. I suggest GE could a baking tray, overall it was a great value for my money. I would recommend this GE gas range to anyone looking for a great value.

                    THE BEST thing about this range,the grate is high up ,so the small kids can not reach up to grab anything off when you take something(bake cookies)out of the oven ,and sit on top for cooling. [...]

                        The large burner is great for deep frying. I made Rosettes, which require a hot iron form to make the treats. It was able to keep my lard hot and I could keep frying without stopping.

                        I used the broiler to brown some cheese on my cheese chili dogs. It work well on low. It didn't burn and turned the cheese a nice golden brown.

                        Burners work fine for boiling rice or make a pot of coffee.

                        A lot of heat comes out the vent from the oven. I hope it doesn't ruin the controls. It would be great to keep something warm.

                          Range works great. Took a little time to get used to the grid top, a little hard to move heavy pans from one burner to another. Very attractive and nice addition to the kitchen. Oven works great, but no broiler pan included with range.
