Kitchen Remodel (contd.)


2) Cooking Range

This was slightly simpler than refrigerators since there are not so many options available. The common factors among the compared ranges are:


- Slide In model
- Dual Fuel
- 30 inches width
- Stainless Finish
- Energy Star

GE has only one model which fits the bill while Frigidaire has three different models to choose from.

Frigidaire FCS366E C is the very basic model with Black steel door handles. The second model FCS36E C has mathinc color Steel handles but they don't look as sleek. Both these models have some kind of 'SpeekBake' Convection system which give ok performance. The third, professional, model is PLCS389E C which has much sturdier and professional looking grates with better Pro Matter finish. This has a different Convection, 'Even Cook' which adds another coil around the fan which eliminates temperature fluctuations and provides even cooking. This also has a Star-K Sabbath mode Kosher cooking. This also has a Warm and server drawer which is not available in first two models.

KitchenAid and Jenn Air are also ver professional looking serious type ranges, but slight expensive as compared to GE and definitely Frigidaire.
