Kitchen range types

Kitchen ranges are built in 3 main forms; freestanding (which can be placed anywhere), slide-in (come with side panels to fit between cabinetry), and drop-in (rests on a wooden platform and is surrounded by cabinetry). All three forms of kitchen range can be built in a variety of styles, including:
Electric kitchen ranges – powered by electricity, they are less expensive to both purchase and operate. Electric kitchen ranges employ two kinds of heat; smooth top ceramic glass and coil burner. The smooth top is easier to maintain and better at distributing heat evenly across the cook-top. The coil burner is the standard option, and has heat conducting coil exposed across the surface of the cook-top.
Fuel kitchen ranges – a visible gas-powered cooking flame that is exposed at the surface of the cook-top. They employ either radiant heat or convection ovens, which might sometimes be self-cleaning.
Duel Fuel Kitchen ranges – this kind of kitchen range combines the immediate heat of gas burners with the even heat distribution of electric kitchen ranges. They are, however, the most expensive kind.
Heirloom kitchen ranges – restored ovens from back in the day, which have been jazzed up with several modern features such as warming trays. They are suited to period and country style designs, yet new kitchen ranges with this ‘old’ look can also be bought.


	The kitchen range can either be hidden using stainless steel, or made an attractive focal point by building an alcove around it.
