Gas Ranges · Page 9

A gas range cooks on open burners fed by natural gas or propane, so the heat changes the moment you turn the knob and you can see the flame. Many cooks prefer it for searing, stir-frying and holding a low simmer. The oven below may be gas too, or electric — a gas cooktop over an electric oven is sold as a dual-fuel range and has its own page. Before you choose a gas range, confirm the fuel at your hookup (many ship set up for natural gas and need a conversion kit for propane), compare the BTU output of the burners, and decide between a freestanding and a slide-in installation.
