A kitchen range is an essential appliance for any home and is a great option for those looking for the most cooking versatility in one appliance. The terms range and stove can be used interchangeably as they are the combination of a cooktop and an oven. You can find a vast selection of kitchen ranges here at The Range Hood Store.
What Makes up a Range?
A range comprises both an oven and a cooktop. An oven uses air to transfer heat by either burning gas or heating an element at the bottom of the oven. As the oven reaches temperature, the air will rise up into the oven, which will in turn cook your food. An oven can be an appliance on its own, mounted on your wall. A cooktop is made up of various heating elements and uses either gas, electricity, or induction to provide the necessary heat to cook. Stovetop can either be installed as a drop-in, creating a seamless integration look with your countertop. Whereas a traditional cooktop lies flat on top of the counter. You can enjoy the convenience of one appliance with a freestanding range, meaning you get a cooktop and an oven in one!
What are the Different Types of Ranges?
Dual Fuel Range: A dual fuel range is a combination of a gas cooktop and an electric oven, hence “dual fuel”. An electric oven is great because they provide dry heat and less oven temperature fluctuation–this heat is ideal for those browning or broiling their dishes. Gas cooktops provide more responsive temperature control, due to the open flame that can be adjusted instantly, which means you can react quickly and adjust the temperature if necessary.
Gas-on-Gas Range: Both the cooktop and oven in a gas range are typically fueled by either natural gas or liquid propane. One of the major benefits of using a gas range is the ease with which you can control cooking temperatures. You can immediately ignite the burners or oven, and you don’t have to wait too long, meaning you can save some time and get to enjoy your meal faster!
Induction Range: An induction range gets its power and precision from induction technology. An induction cooktop uses an electromagnetic field below the glass cooktop surface, which then transfers current directly to magnetic cookware, causing it to heat up. The oven in an induction range will be similar to the electrical oven mechanics seen in a dual-fuel range. A great benefit to using an induction range is the energy efficiency you’ll see compared to traditional electrical stoves and better indoor air quality!
Freestanding vs Slide-In Range
The biggest difference that lies between a freestanding and a slide-in range is their installation and design. A freestanding range is an independent unit that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen and doesn’t require surrounding cabinetry. Whereas a slide-in range is designed to slide in between kitchen cabinets or other kitchen appliances. However, both are great options, but it will be up to you to decide which features and installation requirements are best suited for you and your dream kitchen!

FAQs
What is a kitchen range?
A kitchen range, often called a stove, is a single appliance that combines a cooktop and an oven into one unit. It offers all-in-one cooking versatility for baking, roasting, boiling, sautéing, and simmering.
What are the main components of a range?
A range consists of a cooktop on top and an oven below. The cooktop can be gas, electric, or induction, while the oven may be gas or electric depending on the range type.
What is the difference between a range and a cooktop?
A cooktop provides only surface cooking and requires a separate wall oven. A range combines both appliances into one unit, saving space and simplifying installation.
What types of kitchen ranges are available?
The most common types are gas-on-gas ranges, dual fuel ranges, electric ranges, and induction ranges. Each option offers different benefits depending on cooking style, efficiency needs, and available utilities.
What is a dual fuel range?
A dual fuel range uses a gas cooktop for responsive heat control and an electric oven for consistent, even baking. This setup is popular with serious home cooks and professional-style kitchens.
What is a gas-on-gas range?
A gas-on-gas range uses gas for both the cooktop and oven. These ranges heat quickly and allow immediate temperature adjustments, making them ideal for traditional cooking techniques.
What is an induction range?
An induction range uses electromagnetic technology to heat cookware directly. It offers fast heating, precise temperature control, improved energy efficiency, and better indoor air quality compared to traditional electric ranges.
What is the difference between freestanding and slide-in ranges?
Freestanding ranges can be installed anywhere with proper connections and usually have finished sides and a backguard. Slide-in ranges are designed to fit seamlessly between cabinets for a built-in look, with controls typically located at the front.
What size kitchen range should I choose?
Standard residential ranges are typically 30 inches wide, while professional-style models are available in 36, 48, and even 60 inches. The right size depends on your kitchen layout, cooking habits, and available space.
Are kitchen ranges available in different finishes?
Yes. Ranges come in a variety of finishes including stainless steel, black stainless, white matte, and designer options with accent hardware for a customized look.
Are convection ovens standard in modern ranges?
Many modern ranges include convection ovens, which use a fan to circulate hot air for faster, more even cooking. This is especially useful for baking and roasting.

Do I need special ventilation for a kitchen range?
Most ranges, especially gas and high-BTU models, benefit from a properly sized range hood to remove smoke, grease, and odors. Strong ventilation improves air quality and protects cabinetry.
Can I bundle a range with other kitchen appliances?
Yes. Many retailers offer appliance bundles that include ranges, range hoods, refrigerators, and dishwashers. Bundling simplifies shopping and often provides cost savings.
How do I choose the right range for my kitchen?
Consider your fuel availability, cooking habits, kitchen layout, desired features, and design preferences. Consulting with an appliance expert can help ensure the best long-term fit for your home.
Is a kitchen range a good investment?
A high-quality kitchen range is a long-term investment that enhances daily cooking, improves efficiency, and serves as a visual focal point in your kitchen. Choosing the right model can significantly elevate both function and style.
