Investing in a Dual Fuel Cooker Range Investing in a dual fuel cooker range adds to the overall value of your kitchen and home. If you're considering one, make sure that your kitchen is capable of handling both electric and gas power sources. Schedule a showroom appointment at Clarke to see a variety of dual fuel ranges in full-scale kitchens designed by local experts. Features like smooth glide ball bearing oven racks as well as StayPut Italian Hinges ensure a safe, easy baking experience. Cooking Options It is essential to select the right model that fits the style of your kitchen, and is also compatible with the other appliances in your kitchen. However, the utility of a range isn't just about aesthetics You need an appliance that is professional grade and can meet the demands of your baking and cooking habits. This is the reason why many homeowners turn to a dual fuel cooker to maximize their cooking abilities. A dual fuel stove incorporates a gas cooktop and an electric oven, delivering the best of both worlds in terms of temperature control and accuracy. Gas cooktops provide a flexible temperature control that lets cooks play around with cooking techniques such as roasting or searing. Bakers prefer the constant heating offered by an electric oven. Additionally, certain models come with a feature that releases steam in the beginning of the baking process to help the bread rise for a more even texture. A dual fuel range is fitted with high-performance burners, which are typically powered by natural gas or propane liquid. They can produce rapid heat output for a variety of tasks, such as searing and boiling. The convection oven on a professional dual-fuel range is typically powered by an electric fan. This circulates hot air to ensure uniform heating. Dual fuel ranges can be expensive but they're a great option for those looking to enhance their culinary skills, or entertain guests in the kitchen. Plus, this type of range is easy to maintain and can add value to your home if you decide to sell it in the future. Ask a professional to install your home appliance if you are interested in purchasing a professional dual-fuel range. The specialist will ensure that the range is properly connected to both electric and gas lines and that all safety precautions are in place. A qualified installer can also address any issues that might arise during the installation process of your new range. Convenience A dual fuel range provides the flexibility of both a gas stovetop and an oven in one appliance. The stoves provide a range of cooking options which makes them a great choice for homeowners who like to try new recipes and techniques. They are available in a variety of sizes with oven capacities ranging from 4.5 to 6.8 cubic feet. Some models even feature two ovens side by side for larger capacity. The combination of electric and gas cooktops in one unit gives you the best of both worlds with a responsive heat that's easy to adjust and a precise temperature that allows you to set temperatures precisely. This kind of precision is important when you're simmering soup or reheating leftovers. Similarly, the electric oven offers a steady heat that can be precisely adjusted to maintain low heat for delicate dishes. Some homeowners opt for dual fuel ranges due to its aesthetic appeal as well as functionality. They are available in a wide range of premium finishes and accessories to match any kitchen design, whether it is traditional or modern. Some dual fuel ranges are equipped with elegant brushed-bronze trims or handles that can bring a touch of elegance to French-style kitchens. A dual fuel range is a wonderful option for any kitchen. However, it might not be right for everyone. It typically requires a dedicated gas line in the home, which may require you to upgrade your gas hookup or pay for installation. Additionally, some homes may not have both a gas and an electrical outlet in the same room making switching between different power sources difficult. If you're looking to have the flexibility of a dual fuel range, but don't have the option of installing an entirely new gas line, you can consider purchasing a separate gas and electric cooktop and wall oven instead. This is a less costly option that still gives you the option to cook with either power source and you can put both in the same space if needed. You can also combine an electric and gas model by selecting an electric and gas slide-in range that has an additional gas cooktop as well as an electric wall oven. Efficiency A dual fuel range consists of a gas stove and an electric oven. This model is highly regarded by professional cooks for its versatility and value. It has precise temperature control for the oven, as well as flexible temperature control on its cooktop for a variety of cooking techniques. The cooktop of a dual fuel professional range can be powered by natural gas or liquid propane. Gas cooktops let you adjust the temperature quickly and visually, and you can also use advanced cooking techniques like roasting or charring. On the other side an electric oven is a trusted and reliable kitchen appliance that delivers steady heating. Many models feature an air downdraft that catches airborne particles, smoke and odors without the necessity of overhead ventilation systems. Gas cooktops are preferred by many chefs due to their ability to quickly and precisely regulate the temperature, making it simpler to sauté onions or boil pasta. Meanwhile, bakers are likely to prefer an electric oven since it creates a drier heat that causes bread to rise and brown. Some cooks prefer a hybrid of both sources of heat. This option is available on select dual-fuel ranges. Aside from the versatile, high-performance capabilities of a dual fuel range, these appliances are also equipped with a range of convenient features. Some models come with removable burner grates, and sealed burners that make it easier to clean. Some ovens are self-cleaning that will save you the time and hassle of cleaning off grease after each meal. A dual fuel range is more energy efficient than an all-electric model, or an all-gas model. If your home has a natural gas line, this appliance could aid in reducing your winter utility costs. When you're looking for a dual fuel cooker range, think about the kitchen layout and how often you'll be using the stove. For instance, if you only cook twice a week, the additional cost of a dual fuel stove might not be worth it for what you need. In addition, these ranges require the installation of a gas line and a cost, which is usually not included in the price of purchase. Safety When a dual fuel cooker range is used correctly, it offers an unbeatable cooking experience compared to other stoves. This is because it combines the accuracy and even distribution of heat from an electric oven that is ideal for baking and roasting with the instant heat control of gas burners in a hob. This allows cooks to switch between these different styles of cooking quickly and easily. Furthermore, a dual-fuel range will also give you the option for a slow simmer and low simmer or high-heat searing. This gives cooks more freedom to prepare their preferred dishes. Apart from their safety advantages dual fuel ranges are also easy to clean due to their combination of gas and electric components. Gas hobs typically have sealed burners, or cast iron grates with enamel coating that can be cleaned quickly after meals. Electric ovens, on the other hand, has a self cleaning function that utilizes high temperatures to eliminate any food residue. Certain electric models also have removable oven racks and trays that can be soaked or scrubbed to give them a thorough clean. A dual fuel range can be costly to purchase as you'll need a gas line and an electrical outlet in your home to use it. This can be costly, especially in the event that you already have a gas line installed in your kitchen and will require an electrician to come in and install a new electrical outlet. In older homes, the wiring may not be able to support both electricity as well as gas. An electrician will need to change the voltage in the kitchen outlet to accommodate a dual fuel range.
