For more information, make an appointment at a showroom with Clarke to view these high-quality ranges in full-scale kitchens. Eva Bleyer, reviews analyst in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab has tested several dual fuel models over the years. She recommends that you check the number of burners (some cooktops come with only four burners, while others have more) and how they are laid out. Rangetop When it comes to cooking, a dual fuel range cooker combines a gas cooktop with an electric oven, giving you the best of both worlds. Gas stovetops are favored by chefs for their temperature control. This is great for methods like charring peppers and achieving the perfect searing of steak. Electric ovens are preferred by bakers since they can regulate the temperature precisely, resulting in an even baking of cakes as well as meals that are savory. The cooktops of the best dual fuel ranges come with between four and six burners. The more burners you have, the more flexible you can be to accommodate larger pans or pots. The arrangement of the burners matters as well. Five burners that are cramped are not as effective as four evenly spaced ones that can accommodate a variety of smaller pots and pans. A majority of models have convection oven and microwave built in, so you can have two appliances for the price of one. This is a fantastic space saver in small kitchens and a useful feature for when you're entertaining. Certain ranges have an elegant stainless steel finish which looks stunning in modern kitchens. The shiny surface resists fingerprints and is easy to clean so you can keep the look of new with regular cleaning. There are models in black or gray to match your home's decor. A lot of brands let you mix and match knobs with bezels in order
