Dual fuel ranges are characterized by substantial upfront costs that could dissuade some buyers. It is important to know the distinctions between gas, dual fuel and electric ranges prior to deciding which appliance best suits your cooking style and needs. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages however, the best model can take your kitchen to a new level. The type of heat that a range provides also plays a role in. Some cooks like the instant temperature control provided by a gas range, while others prefer the dry heat of an electric oven. A dual fuel range gives cooks the option of cooking with gas to perform tasks that require rapid adjustments, and an electric oven to bake and perform other tasks. When researching ranges it is essential to look up user reviews. This will provide you with an idea of what actual people think of the product. Look for models that have high reviews and ratings from customers to ensure that you are purchasing a product of quality that will last.

Look online and at your local Rent-A-Center to discover a selection of appliances available for rent that match the aesthetics of your home. Consider the other elements that are discussed in this guide prior to making a decision on which size, fuel type, and color range is ideal for you. Gas vs. Electric It is important to consider the cooking preferences of your kitchen and needs when choosing a new kitchen appliance. Many cooks at home prefer the quick temperature control of gas ranges whereas others prefer the even heating and lower energy cost that electric ovens offer. Dual fuel ranges include the gas cooktop with an electric oven to offer the best of both. Gas cooktops are popular with chefs who love the responsiveness of the heat generated by the burner. This allows precise sauteing or boiling. These types of ranges use natural or liquid propane gas to power the stovetop and oven. Gas ranges are also less costly to operate than electric ovens, that use coils to distribute heat. However, while electric ovens are more energy efficient but they do not provide the same baking precision that many home cooks prefer. This is why a lot of home cooks choose to upgrade their kitchens with dual fuel cookers. If you're looking to improve your home's energy efficiency, or need the best of both worlds, Abt's online collection of ranges includes numerous top-quality dual fuel options to pick from. You'll also have to think about the size, style and ventilation options available to your selection. commercial dual fuel range cookers are designed for built-in installation, while others can be set up as a freestanding unit. A slide-in model can be more space-efficient but it is not suitable for all kitchens. It is vital to properly ventilate your cooking space to reduce the amount of steam, smoke and grease you breathe when you cook. To eliminate these toxins, think about a downdraft range with an internal ventilation system that captures undesirable odors and particles and sends them through a ductless vent, or into the kitchen ductwork. While you can save money by installing your own kitchen appliances, it's strongly recommended that an expert make the necessary electrical and gas connections. DIYers who are inexperienced have the potential of gas inhalation, explosions or electrocution. Having a qualified expert make these installations ensures that your equipment is working just as it should and is safe to use for many years to come. Ventilation The best dual fuel ranges offer the option of a gas cooktop as well as an electric oven, which combine the strengths of both appliances. Gas cooktops provide quick heating and a responsive temperature control while electric oven elements run in patterns that maximize heating for baking. Any cooking appliance must have adequate ventilation. This is particularly relevant for gas stoves, which can exhaust the fumes by using a downdraft system or a vent that directs the air out of your home. This lets odors be eliminated more quickly, and maintains the indoor air quality since the fumes are not circulated. Vent hoods are designed to let air flow outside, rather than recirculating it and filtering. Browse the JennAir® range, downdraft range cooktops and hoods if want a stylish, contemporary vent that won't detract from the kitchen decor. You can choose from a variety of sizes to find the ideal one for your kitchen. They also come in a variety of finishes such as stainless steel to match any kitchen design. Many homeowners who switch to dual fuel ranges never look back. They are awed by the greater capabilities and versatility that this range provides particularly for those who enjoy hosting dinner parties or experimenting with new cooking techniques. These models have been tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, and are considered top-of-the-line by professional chefs. A dual fuel range will require the use of a gas line to the stovetop, and a regular power outlet (or a 240-volt outlet) for the oven. If your kitchen doesn't have both, a professional can install the gas line and make sure you have the correct connections for the new range. Electric ovens are popular with some people because they can brown food and char vegetables on an open flame. Others prefer the precise heating of gas ranges. If you're unsure if you should go with a gas or electric range, consider pairing a gas cooktop and an oven that is wall-mounted to make a cost-effective alternative. Safety A dual fuel range cooker is an effective and versatile addition to your kitchen. It is important to be aware of safety issues that could arise when making use of this type of appliance in your home. It is vital to ensure that you vent your cooking area because smoke, steam and greasy residue can build up and pose an health risk if you breathe it into. Abt offers a variety of range hoods and vents that ensure that your cooking area is well ventilated. You must always have a gas connection to your stove before using it. While the majority of dual fuel ranges have an adapter fitting that can be connected to a gas pipe yourself, it is recommended that you contact a local Gas Safe engineer to carry the installation and pressure tests to prevent leaks or other issues in the future. Also, be aware that electric ovens utilize high voltage power, and it is best to hire a professional electrician to install any necessary electrical connections for your new range. It will depend on the model, so be sure to read the owner's manual or call an electrician for more information. One of the most common questions we get is about the amount of clearance space needed on either side of the cooker, and we are happy to clarify this for you. The gap required is minimal since modern cookers are insulated and do not transfer heat through the sides of the appliance. The final choice to purchase a range cooker with dual fuel is based on your cooking preferences and kitchen layout. Gas stoves are favored by chefs because of their control of heat and flexibility. However, it's ultimately your choice. If you're looking to reap to enjoy the benefits of both the benefits of a gas stove as well as an electric oven, a dual fuel stove could be the ideal option for your kitchen. Happy cooking and good luck!
