Best 36-inch Gas Range – Buyer’s Guide
When you choose a range, you may want to look at all the features before you make a final decision on which one to purchase to ensure that it meets all your needs.
Quality and durability of the materials are often high on the list when it comes to deciding factors. Size is a huge consideration for some people.
Whether you want an import or made in the US stove, buyers often agree that functionality is one of the biggest considerations before they purchase a new gas range. You may not want to buy a dual gas oven model when you need to cook large meals like whole turkeys and chickens.
Size
The internal size of the oven makes a huge difference when purchasing for a family. If you entertain a lot throughout the year, then the size of the oven is vital to making the dishes you want to serve your guests.
Some people are happy with the European models that have two ovens like the Verona with five burners. You can make several dishes at once and cook on two separate temperatures at the same time. The main decision depends on the dishes you like to prepare.
Weight
Do you live in an apartment or structure that needs a light range or stove? Our list covers a wide range of models from around 200 pounds all the way beyond 400 pounds. If weight is no issue, and you have the help to slide the stove in place, then you can choose practically any model on our Top Ten List. If you have a tight fit, you may want to measure where the gas lines run to make sure that the stove will go into place the way you expect it to fit.
Number of burners
What kind of cooking do you do the most? Are you a person that barbecues or grills food a lot? Do you prefer to boil or bake more meals than most? How you cook should steer your decision about whether to get a four, five, or six burner stove. The four-burner models often have griddles in the middle so that you can sear meat or grill up some burgers.
You can saute, roast, and make pancakes on the center cooktop. If you cook a lot of pasta and soups, then maybe the six burner is a more fitting option for your household.
Functionality
How do you plan to use your stove? Are you going to cook for small or large groups most of the time? Do you need to cook for large groups regularly? Do you want something that is easy to clean or looks nice in your kitchen? All of these functions are important if you want to be happy with your purchase. For a bold look in your room, you may want to go with the Red SMEG range we list last.
Electric or gas igniters
The only thing to consider between gas and electric igniters is whether you want to have the ability to light the stove when the power is out. If so, then you want to go with a gas ignitor. Most of the models on the list have automatic re-ignition if the pilot light goes out, but some do not.
Construction material
How durable do you need your stove to be for your family? Are you an avid chef that is constantly trying out new dishes? A stainless steel model might be just what you want for easy cleanup and a stylish fit. The Italian models have charming details that add character to the range. It just depends on what you want to look at and clean when you are in the kitchen.
Extra features
If you are the cook that loves to roast a nice hunk of meat, then you may like the range with the rotisserie where you can cook whole chickens if you want. Five oven rack slots versus four can make a huge difference when you are a baker. Easy to clean ovens and removable doors are other options that give you the opportunity to cook and clean the way you want.
The Final Word on Best 36-inch Gas Ranges
We think all of the ranges on our Top Ten List have features and capabilities that will intrigue the amateur and professional chef alike. We study various models to provide you with a broad range of products that have features that will fit into your lifestyle and give you the options you need to make a solid purchase.
Figuring out whether you want a flashy model or a more functional item is one of the first considerations you should make before you begin to look at the available ranges. You want to make sure that you choose a stove that will last under heavy use if you cook several times a day. Your choice is an investment in your home and your family life. You are likely to use your stove for many years, so you want to be sure to choose wisely.
Function is the key to making the best choice for your kitchen. You may find that baking bread for your bakery delivery service is much easier in a European model, where the aspiring chef can get much more use out of one of the pro models on our list. For instance, the Kucht range has several burner options that cook at different heat levels. The oven has five rack positions giving bakers plenty of space to make desserts and cookies.
Deciding how you will use your stove is one of the best ways to guide your decision. For instance, if you like to cook steak, then our top broiler pick may be just what you need to sear steaks and melt butter and garlic on breadsticks. The time you spend using your oven and the way you cook should be the primary considerations for your range along with size. Another tip is to check where the gas hookup is to make sure it fits correctly in your kitchen.
