Fuel-Efficient Stoves

When considering their new range, buyers often compare the coil-topped electric burners with gas-fueled ones. In this realm, natural gas models nearly always win. These models light immediately, heat food quickly and can be cheaper to run (sometimes by up to 30%). However, they're not all the same. When choosing yours, keep in mind the number of burners you'd want in your kitchen. Four, six, and eight are popular, while a long middle one can sometimes be covered by a griddle. That spot is the perfect area to make paninis, pancakes, scrambled eggs and even seared steaks.

It's not just the number of burners you'll want to consider, either, but the heat output. Each burner might have a different power level (measured in BTUs, or British Thermal Units). The highest BTU cooker on your stovetop will be the best at boiling water for pasta, while smaller simmer burners in the rear are designed to gently heat sauces, not overcook them. Whether you're a meal prepper or a seasoned gourmet chef, you'll want a gas range that can cover a wide scope of heat levels.

What's A Convection Oven?

However many burners you prefer on your stovetop, that's only half the story. Your dream model will have (at least) one oven below, too. And if you haven't replaced yours in a while, you might find yourself catching up on some of the terminology and technology, like "convection". Convection cooking is a process by which heat is blown at your foods via a fan, surrounding your meal in higher temps for a more even (and faster) cook. These convection cookers are often the standard in gas ranges these days. Some models even include air frying options for even higher intensity convection that crisps healthier than a deep fat fryer would. Other next-gen features include double oven compartments, storage drawers and more.

Hoping for a different look in your dream kitchen? Many choose to split their range into two separate appliances: a cooktop for burners and a high-heated wall oven. It's a popular option, allowing users a bit more freedom of design throughout the kitchen. That being said, the classic gas-fueled range still remains a steadfast cornerstone of the popular American kitchen. It's budget-friendly, powerful and more importantly, beloved.
