How to Choose the Best Gas Ranges for Your Lifestyle

There’s a reason Wolf’s dual fuel gas ranges are so popular among home cooking enthusiasts.

 

These days, gas ranges come in a dizzying array of sizes and styles, and they cater to an assortment of budgets and cooking preferences. This can make it tricky to determine which one is right for your home.

Are you a passionate home cook who has to have the best kitchen appliances? Do you need a reliable, no-nonsense range that can keep up with the hungry demands of your growing family? Or perhaps you have a smaller living space and need something a little more compact. Whatever your preference, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite gas ranges that serve a variety of needs.

 

Best Bang for Your Buck: GE  5 Cubic Foot Range with Convection Oven

If you think you’d benefit from some extra versatility on the stovetop, this 5 cubic-foot gas range from GE is a solid choice. While similar models feature a fifth burner, this clever design boasts an amply sized griddle in the middle of the cooktop. You can use it to fry up some bacon and eggs, or simply use it as a warming tray.

There are also four different finishes for this range, so you can choose the one that matches your home:

  • Slate
  • White
  • Stainless
  • Black

 

Best Entry-level Option: Whirlpool 5.1 Cubic Foot Gas Range

It might be a standard size cooktop, but with edge-to-edge cooking grates, this Whirlpool gas range makes full use of its space. It also means you no longer have to worry about balancing larger pots on smaller burners, as the grates are level across the entire surface.

Like other Whirlpool appliances, this one features the AccuBake® Temperature Management System. It uses a built-in sensor to monitor oven temperature to deliver consistent results when baking.

 

Best for Small Spaces: Fisher & Paykel 24” Gas Range

Sometimes good things come in small packages, and gas ranges are no different. This 24-inch model by Fisher & Paykel is perfect for apartment-sized kitchens and other small living spaces.

With four burners and a 1.9 cubic-foot oven, you probably won’t be hosting Christmas dinner for 20 guests, but you can still crank out some pretty amazing meals with this exquisitely designed range. Like all Fisher & Paykel appliances, it features a nice combination of European styling and user-friendly controls.

 

Best of Both Worlds: Wolf Dual Fuel Range

Enjoy the instant heat of gas on the cooktop and the predictability of an electric range below. Wolf dual fuel ranges really are the best of both worlds. They also come in an array of sizes (from 30 to 60 inches) and configurations, including options for:

  • Griddles
  • Charbroilers
  • French tops
