You’ve decided this is the year to remodel your kitchen, so where do you start? Many designers recommend you begin with a deep dive on appliances, as these selections are a significant investment and will impact the layout of your kitchen, as well as the cabinet selections you make. Since cooking is the main focus of most kitchens, it’s helpful to research today’s top choices for ranges, ovens and cooktops. When it comes to ranges, you may consider gas, electric and dual fuel options. Many homeowners ask, what does “dual fuel” mean?
Dual fuel ranges: the best of both worlds?
Many professional chefs and homeowners consider dual fuel ranges to be the best of both worlds. A dual fuel range combines gas burners on the cooktop with an electric oven below. Many homeowners like cooking on an open flame but would prefer not to have a gas oven. If that’s your feeling, a dual fuel range may be the ideal cooking appliance for you. This combination offers you precise control and even heat.
A Wolf Dual Fuel Range is considered the finest in this category.
With Wolf, you combine chef-level control and precision with the pinnacle of convection technology inside the oven. This dual fuel range is the result of years of engineering innovations and refinement, tested by the world’s most demanding chefs. Patented dual-stacked, sealed burners provide precise high-to-low temperature control and a spark ignition system that reignites automatically.
Only Wolf offers dual-stacked, sealed gas burners. They provide consistently high-to-low temperature control. Spanning 300 to 20,000 Btu, these burners deliver steady, true simmers and melts, as well as fast boils and powerful sears. This is the kind of control you need to create the most delicate sauces and put a delicious finish on your fish or meat. The “sealed” feature means that clean-up is a breeze. Wolf’s seamless burner pans easily wipe clean.
In the electric oven, Wolf’s Dual VertiFlow™ convection system reduces hot and cold spots and enables consistent multi-rack cooking. As if that’s not enough, the real magic of this oven is found in ten chef-created cooking modes that take the guesswork out of cooking. The oven’s Gourmet Mode features nearly 50 pre-sets that automatically control the oven for foolproof results. It’s like having a fabulous cookbook baked into your oven.
Beyond Stainless, Wolf Offers New Colored Door Panel Options
While most homeowners imagine a dual fuel range in classic stainless steel, Wolf has recently introduced new colored door panels and an array of new knob and bezel (the trim around the knob) color selections. It’s amazing how these options can change the whole look of your kitchen. This means the Wolf Dual Fuel Range can work even more seamlessly with any style or color you select for your kitchen.
So, when you consider the question, “What does a dual fuel range mean for me?” it’s important to see this versatile cooking appliance in person and, better yet, ask for a demonstration as not all brands will offer the depth of features that Wolf does. If you are in New England, you’ll learn all you need to know about dual fuel ranges at Clarke, New England’s Official Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove Showrooms in Boston and Milford, Massachusetts and in South Norwalk, Connecticut.
