GE profile double oven gas range vs. GE cafe double oven range
Comments (5)I went with the Profile double-oven gas: here are my reasons. I like the smaller-size top oven for daily use, and the lower oven will only be used on occasion, so I'm ok with its location. (There's no room for a wall oven in my tiny kitchen -- and I have no plans to tear out cabinets and rearrange.) I'm a good cook, and I honed my skills on low-end domestic ranges because that's what was available: I don't need a commercial range to cook what I like, and I'm too busy with other aspects of my life to change my cooking style now. I also prefer not to deal with "pro" level BTUS and the ventilation complications they might add. I also am not willing to give up self-cleaning ovens -- which puts many pro-style ranges out of contention. I liked the slide-in setup and the angled control-knob location on the Profile, so that, and the price advantage, led me to choose it over the Cafe. Re: price, I bought mine from a local dealer, and I got the price down a bit by asking them to meet the ajmadison.com price. They didn't quite get there, but I was willing to pay a little extra for local sales/delivery/service reliability. Everyone's situation is a little different, but I found that the Profile slide-in fits best with my kitchen and the way I use it....See MoreGe cafe wall oven vs. Kenmore Pro (Help!

Comments (1)I do not have the ge cafe wall oven, but I do have the ge cafe dual fuel range, and I really liked the oven. Prally had it about 2-3 years, no problems. I just bought a separate wall oven, and went with another GE, although not the cafe model. I am hoping it performs like the cafe model though...so far i've only cooked salmon and baked potatoes in it. The probe in the Cafe model works really well, although I only used it twice, but both time the roasts were perfect....See MoreNew Kenmore Pro 30 range for $2400 vs GE cafe for new condo
Comments (37)From the KP manual The Turbo Boil burner (18k BTU) is the most powerful burner for cooking in larger pots, for canning, for large amounts of soup, or for boiling water, and it is located at the right front of the cooktop. • The Simmer burner (5k BTU) is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, and so on, and it is located at the right back of the cooktop. • The Power burner (12k BTU) is recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food, and it is located at the left front of the cooktop. • One standard burner (7.5k BTU) may be used for most surface cooking needs, being designed to fit most cookware. It is located at the left back of the cooktop. • The Simmer Oval burner is located in the center of the cooktop and consists of a center burner (the 5k BTU Oval Simmer burner) and an oval burner, consisting of two, 12k burners. The center, Oval Simmer, burner can be set separately from the overall Simmer Oval burner. This is badly written bc it makes you think the center consists of 5+12+12 but does this actually mean the center is 5+12 = 17? If so, total of 59. If not, and center is 12, then 54. I am looking at all gas too....See Morege cafe convection wall oven heats from the top?
Comments (33)Boschboy- in case you’re keeping track of his thread, I promise not to keep asking questions but I’d appreciate a tiny bit more input . I’m wondering about rack placement. For instance, the top rack, probably meant for broiling, seems extremely close to the top oven coils. Do you use the rack in the the highest possible position for broiling? I’m wondering about excessive grease splatters on the coils. Also, none of the racks in the top oven are placed at the middle of the oven but it looks like there is an option for adjusting the racks do that a pan can be in the middle? The racks which aren’t on rollers did need to be rubbed with graphite ( which came with the oven) before they rolled smoothly. I know it’s off topic but I love to cook so if there are any cookbooks you recommend for baking bread, cookies, or holiday meals I’d appreciate the info. i won’t keep asking for mor info, promise! You’ve been very helpful. I made some excellent baked fish in the oven tonight. A simple recipe but everything turned out evenly browned on top and perfectly tender....See Morehvtech42
