Dual-Fuel Ranges at Abt
Abt cares about finding you an appliance you can depend upon for years to come, like a stove that can be used to cook all your meals, making memories along the way. While we carry a great many high-quality range options, the decision-making process can be complicated by one question: gas or electric? Abt's selection of dual-fuel ranges throws that dilemma out the window and instead, gives you the best of both worlds.
An Intro to Dual Fuel: How It Works
Dual-fuel ranges combine the benefits of gas and electric ranges into one high-quality appliance. While the gas cooktop provides the precision of an open flame burner, the electric convection oven supplies consistent heat, evenly distributed for perfect baking results. Why choose a dual-fuel range? These ranges are ideal for those who love to cook as it merges the top assets of both fuel types together for a versatile performance. Gas burners are durable and heat up faster than electric burners, while the electric oven is more reliable than a gas oven with its precise temperature control. Abt offers plenty of different colors and modern styles from brands like Wolf and many more to match any aesthetic. It's also vital to properly ventilate your cooking area, as steam, smoke, grease and residue from your food can be released into the air. This not only dirties your kitchen but raises a health risk when you breathe it in. Abt carries plenty of range hoods and downdrafts to eliminate this issue. Before investing in a dual-fuel range, you must ensure that you have the proper sources for both gas and electricity. While dual-fuel ranges require a natural gas line for the cooktop, most gas stoves have 110-120V electrical outlets behind them. The dual-fuel electric oven, on the contrary, relies on a 220-240V electrical outlet, so be sure to upgrade your kitchen as needed before installing your brand-new dual-fuel range.
Extra Range Features
Dual-fuel ranges can look very different, depending on the model. Some are freestanding, while some are built-in. Several offer a double oven, which means the appliance has two separate cooking compartments that have the ability to be set to different times, temperatures and other settings for peak multi-tasking. The dual-fuel ranges at Abt also range in oven capacity and the number of burners, from four to eight for optimal cooking space. Some are equipped with amenities like a storage drawer or a warming drawer. Dual-fuel ranges have taken a step forward in technology as well, with WiFi controls and smart settings like delay bake and Sabbath mode. While a normal oven can run up to 12 hours before automatically shutting off, Sabbath mode allows your appliance to run continuously so it can be used periodically throughout the day. This mode also disables the digital display and the self-cleaning, which is a built-in system that makes oven maintenance even easier—no scrubbing required. Whatever cooking needs you have can be accommodated by one of our models. To get even more out of your appliance, check out additional tools for your range that Abt offers.
