Ranges

Kitchen Ranges at Abt

No kitchen is complete without a range. These appliances combine a cooktop and an oven into one convenient appliance, enabling you to cook a variety of dishes at once. Simmer sauce or boil water above while a cake bakes below—whatever is on the menu for dinner tonight, our ranges will get the job done. With both slide-in and freestanding options available, you can bring home the appliance that best fits your kitchen's layout. If you're remodeling or building from the ground up, you'll be able to choose which style you prefer. While slide-in and freestanding ranges are nearly the same, their major difference is that freestanding models typically have controls in the back, and slide-in have them in the front of the appliance. If you have small children at home, you'll want the controls to be harder for them to reach.

A Range of Features

Modern kitchen ranges offer countless incredible features, whether you're looking for the latest technology or luxury finishes. Models with smart technology connect to your home WiFi and can be controlled and monitored by the brand's corresponding smartphone app. Depending on the brand, you can set timers on your stove, turn on the oven and much more. If you're busy and need an extra hand in the kitchen, these WiFi-enabled appliances are the perfect solution. You should also look at the different cooking modes available. Many models now offer air frying capabilities inside the oven, allowing you to make healthier foods with less oil and freeing up space on your counter. Others offer a double oven design, enabling you to cook even more dishes at once—perfect for holiday meals. You can even shop custom colors from brands like BlueStar so your appliance can cook meals while adding a major dose of style to your space.

Choose Your Fuel Source

Ranges are broken down into two main categories: gas and electric. Each has their own pros and cons, so you'll want to determine what features are most important to you when making a purchase. Gas ranges are perfect for those looking for the precision of cooking over a flame, whereas their electric counterparts offer a smooth, flat surface that's incredibly easy to clean. With gas, the heating is far more responsive because you can simply turn the flame's intensity up or down as needed. Electric models are often more affordable if cost is a factor in your purchase decision. We also offer a selection of induction ranges, which have a flat top similar to electric models, but use electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware for even faster results. For the best of the both worlds, check out dual fuel ranges, which combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven. Of course, you'll also want to consider the fuel source of the appliance you're replacing, as this may require additional installation like running a gas line. No matter your preferred fuel source, any of our ranges will make a great kitchen upgrade. For additional inquiries, call our specialists at 800-914-1885.
