Best Slide in Range and Its Clever Design!
by Glen Crawford
We are about to subject our kitchen to a complete make-over, and are now looking to find the best slide in range that will suit the new kitchen lay-out. Because we have limited space, we decided that the slide in range would be the best option, even though we would really like a built-in range, but it can't be incorporated into the new design.
Slide in ranges are completely new to me as all my previous kitchens had built-ins. At first I was fairly dubious, but our designer convinced me that it was going to be the best option. Because we have to work around large windows there is not much space to incorporate a wall oven. Installing a slide in range saved sacrificing my precious bench space, and this is a big priority for me.
We have been informed by our kitchen designer that the best slide in ranges for our situation are the electric downdraft models. These are really neat because they remove the steam, grease and heat through special vents which are situated on the center of the cooking surface. Downdraft ventilation pulls the steam etc. downwards and then it is removed through special ducts which are situated either in the floor or in the cupboards. The electric downdraft models do away with the overhead ventilation hoods which I think is a great idea.
The slide in range is going to be installed into a completely new kitchen island, and because we have exceptionally high ceilings the downdraft model will work best. I was doubtful that they would really be able to remove all the steam and grease that they claim to, but evidently they can. According to all the reviews that I've read the people who own these models are very pleased with them.
The best slide in ranges are usually around $2,000 which includes the extra downdraft feature. We think the extra money is well worth it, particularly as the warranty is so good. This is usually for around five years and includes the electronic components as well as elements and the flat cook top.
There are plenty of other features of course in this particular slide in range, such as the convection oven and wipe-clean cooking surface. The oven sounds fantastic and it is going to take a while getting used to this type of cooking. Fortunately though it comes with an automatic conversion setting which should help prevent accidents. One really interesting feature is that it has a food-drying cycle which I'm really curious to try.
It seems that the Jenn-Air slide in range is considered to be one of the best around. From my research it also appears to be the only one that offers the downdraft feature. Even though it is on the expensive side it has rave reviews by customers, so the money is obviously very well spent. They do offer a dual-fuel model which we considered, but in the end the flat cook-top won. It is so much easier to keep clean.
Kitchen make-overs are an exciting and interesting time. There has been much to learn about new appliances, bench-tops and of course finding the best slide in range that will suit our kitchen design. Now we have to patiently wait for the tradesmen to come and work their magic and transform my drab little kitchen into the new modern masterpiece it is going to become.
Sourcing the best slide in electric range for her new kitchen was Glen Crawford's serious task. Browsing many home appliances stores and online shops she discovered ElectricRanges.org website very helpful and informative.
