| What It Does
| What It's Good For
|
Dual-Fuel
| A range combo: gas burners and an electric oven | Get ultimate control both inside the oven and on the cooktop—bake your cake and sear it too (though that might taste weird). |
Convection Oven
| A fan inside the oven circulates the heat (like a ceiling fan that spreads AC around a room). | A big plus if you’re pressed for time—a convection oven can cook food up to 30 percent faster than a standard oven. |
Digital Controls
| Set the temp to-the-degree with digital cooktop and oven settings.
| They ensure temperature accuracy, and many models can be set to preheat a meal as soon as you come home.
|
Double Ovens
| Two separate ovens that can be set to two different temperatures. | You can slow-roast and quick-bake at the same time -- perfect for holiday cooking.
|
Warming Drawer
| Keeps cooked food at a ready-to-serve temperature. | If one dish has finished cooking way before the rest of the meal, you won’t have to nuke it (and possibly ruin it) come dinnertime. |
