Depending on your region, the range may be known by many names. Ranges are commonly referred to as stoves, ovens, or some combination (such as "range ovens"). Ranges offer a wide variety of features, functions, and other options. Please use this handy buyer's guide from Goedeker's to better educate yourself about all the different choices there are to consider when purchasing a new kitchen range.
Gas Ranges
A gas range is available in open burner and closed burner models. A gas hookup - either natural gas or liquid propane - must be available in order to use a gas range. These are ideal for quick cooking; cooking surfaces can be heated up in an instant for fast results. The oven portion also uses gas flames to create heat.
Electric Ranges
An electric range uses electricity as its power source and usually has a less expensive purchase price. Electric ranges offer two cooktop surfaces: coil elements, which use coiled metal to heat the surface, and a smooth glass surface, which is great for cleaning and offers a modern look. The oven portion also uses electricity to create heat.
Dual Fuel Ranges
Dual fuel ranges make use of both fuel options when cooking. The cooktop surface uses gas, while the oven uses electricity.
Freestanding Ranges
These models can be placed in the middle or at the end of the countertop.
Slide-in Ranges
These models are designed to be flush with the countertop and cabinets with no backsplash. All controls are on the front.
Drop-in Ranges
These are similar to the slide-in models but rest on top of a toe kick for a built-in look.
Smoothtop Ranges
Smoothtop cooktops are available for electric ranges. They have a smooth glass heating area, are easy to clean, and have a modern look.
Coil Element Ranges
Most electric range models use a coiled metal element to provide heat. These elements glow red when hot and take time to reach the desired temperature.
Open Burner Ranges
Open burners generally require a removable drip tray or drain pan to be placed under the grate for each burner. The lid of the range must be lifted occasionally in order to clean out residue and food debris that may fall between the cooktop and the burner.
Sealed Burner Ranges
Sealed burners are available for some gas ranges. A sealed burner means that the cooktop surface runs right up to the burner, which leaves no room between the edge of the cooktop and the burner source for food to fall. Sealed burner ranges are easier to clean and maintain than open burner ranges.
Induction technology is commonly misinterpreted as a unique fuel source. However, induction heating is actually a feature available on some electric ranges. An induction range requires cookware specifically designed for compatibility with induction cooking. Induction works not by heating the cooktop surface but instead using magnets within the cooktop to induce heat in the cookware. For this reason, if you remove a pot or pan from an induction cooking surface, it will cool more rapidly than any other available option. This is a significant safety asset to any family with pets or children that may inadvertently activate the range.
