This range is a joy to cook on and a good value for the money.I cook the majority of our meals "from scratch" and really wanted a five burner stove when it was time to replace the old GE gas range that came with our condo.
The burner layout on this Frigidaire was clearly designed by someone who really cooks.The cast iron grates fit together to create a continuous surface that makes it easy to move heavy pots around as needed.
The simmer burner is located directly behind the power burner.I can start a large pot on the power burner and then just push it to the simmer burner to finish the cooking.The simmer burner allows my rice dishes (pullaos), halvas, reduction sauces, etc to finish cooking gently and it's great for melting chocolate.There is no need to place a simmer ring on top of the burner to prevent scorching the bottom when the lowest setting is not low enough.
The power burner will bring a large pot of water to boil *very* quickly.
I love the center oval burner to heat the griddle for making flat breads (chapati, naan, tortillas), crepes, pancakes, dosa etc.The shape of this burner is also perfect for using my GraniteWare oval roaster on the stovetop if I don't need the griddle.
The two mid-range burners on the left side heat quickly as well.There is a wide range of heat choices from the lowest to the highest setting.
We did a lot of research on gas ranges before making this purchase.
I recommend the ConsumerSearch dot com site as a starting place for research.The ConsumerSearch site analyzes many types of reviews before making recommendations.They have links to their sources and more information.We read through the reviews and evaluations of the higher priced gas ranges (~$1,600)to see what features are currently available.
There were only a few negative reviews about the Frigidaire gas ranges.In reading through these, I got the impression that they were written by persons who did not know how to cook.One person complained that a pot of water took too long to boil *on the back burner*!I think he was trying to boil the water on the simmer burner.It wasn't designed for that. Use the power burner if you are making pasta!
The only thing I might want to add to this model range is a convection oven option.That would have been nice to have.The higher priced models did include the convection feature.
Unfortunately the convection models all came with the self-cleaning oven feature.The gas pipe in my kitchen sticks out 2" from the wall.This fits neatly into the open space at the back of a range with a manual clean oven.The self-cleaning ovens have an additional solid heat shield in the back.This would prevent the range from sliding all the way back against the wall so it would stick out a couple of inches in front of the cabinets.I never used the self-cleaning oven feature when I've had it in other homes.I tried it once - it was a great waste of fuel and I still had to manually wipe out the oven afterwards.I do a of baking and have never needed the self-cleaning feature.
I am really happy with this product.We got most of the features of the high end models at less than half the price.
