Jenn Air gas range v Bosch
Comments (2)I had the Jenn air slide in gas range in my old house, it was a good range but I hated the giant handle on the bottom drawer..I always hit my leg on it. I now have the Bosch slide in range at my new house and I love it, there is no handle on the warming drawer and everything cooks perfectly. I love the convection oven and the temp. probe...the oven tells me when the food is done. Plus it heats up super quick. It's a great range!...See MoreJenn Air slide in range - countertop depth?

Any others to consider?
Comments (14)Thanks everyone for your responses. I really appreciate it! We will most likely buy from Yale in MA as they are near us and have a great reputation. They also service their own appliances and have the ability to upgrade to a 5 year warranty. I just included the links above to show the ones we have been looking at. Neither my husband nor I have expertise in cooking. We prepare lots of foods that aren't fancy and cook lots of pasta dishes with various kinds of sauces. We use the stovetop frequently for dinner (often multiple burners going at once) but also maybe once a weekend tend to cook something in the oven like casseroles/side dishes, quiches, muffins cookies etc. We had a whirlpool gold range with a double oven previously (we liked the double ovens around the holidays) but don't seem to see as many double oven free standing/slide in ranges now so are okay moving away from one. The knobs were thin lightweight plastic so they often broke. We do have some pretty big heavy stovetop pans and sometimes find it is hard to fit them side by side on our current range....See More30 inch electric slide in range replacement - double oven, induction?
Comments (6)There are a number of induction threads if you do a search for the word, they should pop up. I traded my electric for a Samsung Chef induction double oven with warming drawer. The drawer is really low and since it's just DH and me, we don't turn it on and use it for storage. I think it bakes unevenly, although it has two baking "modes" and although we use the small top oven, which fits a smaller roasting pan, we rarely need both ovens. It is convertible to one oven. But I would never go back to an electric top over an induction. Never. As I said in another thread, I've actually been using a Tovala counter top combi-steam oven because I love the way it cooks but it is a one or two person appliance....See Morepatches123
