I wanted to write more, but the area for the review would not accept it. I am 73, and used electric "slow" ranges all my life. Initially I was sceptical about a gas range, but I have come to love my new range. It is quick, dependable, and even temperatures. I only wish it had an open type grill in it, but could not afford one. I cook gourmet foods for my husband and I, and this gas range has accomodated my desire to try more recipes - even at my 'age'. I wish I had had this gas range when my family of 7 were still at home. That was a real struggle!!
