Freestanding ranges - built-in backsplash - a dated look?
Comments (54)I've been researching stoves/ranges and am heavily drawn to the slide-in options because they look built in and aren't that much more money. I just think getting rid of that backsplashy thing on the stove is a much nicer, cleaner look. And, I love the idea of eliminating spills between the sides of the stove and counter top. Conversely, though, the other look I love (which is a heckuva lot more money) is the pro range with the over-sized stainless backsplash and high shelf, which is a really integrated look with the fan hood on top. It's just probably much more money than I can justify. I've been thinking a lot about what matters to me most in a range and cleanability at very near the top of that list. I'm tired of cleaning grates, drip pans, burners, stovetops, etc, etc, etc. I find stoves a pain in the bum to clean. For that reason, I'm even considering switching away from gas to a smooth-top. The ones I am seeing don't have that backsplash built-in, either....See MoreChanging out free-standing range to slide-in?
Comments (7)I went from a freestanding to a slide in before I replaced my countertops. With the old counters I bought the rear filler strip which covered the ~2" gap at the back. New counters were templated so I could eliminate that filler strip.The rear filler for my stove was made for a 25" deep counter which worked perfectly with the original formica tops. If you have 25.5" deep counters (or something that puts the front edge more than 23 1/8" from the rear of the opening) then you might have to do something different with the filler. I'll have to check but I do think the manual listed a second option for those situations. The slide in ranges don't have sides. For my GE profile I could purchase sides extra if needed - in the case of it sitting at the end of a cabinet or if it were to stick out from the cabinet face more than 1.5" so you didn't see the bare frame. Nothing special needed to be done for the cabinets or countertops other than the countertops need to be level as you will lower the cook top onto them so it just touches since it overhangs the counter. If the counter tops aren't level you will either have a gap on one side or your eggs will roll to one side of the pan. My GE could fit an opening as small as 29 15/16" and ideal was 30 1/16." My exisiting cabs were 30 3/16 and I had new counters templated to match. You can't see any gaps since everything is covered with the cook top. The front edge of the stove sits pretty tight to the cabinets as well as the trim strips on the front edges are flexible for lack of a better term. I can post a photo of my range if you like....See MoreFreestanding to slide-in range?
Comments (15)Most of the slide ins that I have seen are the same depth overall as a freestanding range, however, the top of the range normally stops a few inches from the rear of the oven, so that there would be a few inches of countertop behind the top of the range at the rear. To crl, while I agree with the answers by dan, not sure why you would want a slide in later. Typically, you have less selection than freestanding ranges, and usually the price is more expensive than a similarly equipped free standing range from the same manufacturer. Jenn Air offers quite a few slide in ranges, but the ones I have seen have the exhaust vent to the floor, so it requires modification to the space if you are currently using a free standing range....See MoreDesign Dilemma-Replace island w/freestanding gas range
Comments (33)Since I’m in mid-reno, with no end in sight, I thought I’d post a picture and an update. I did go with a peninsula and it’s made my kitchen so much easier to work in. The pantry (right side of kitchen, ‘outside’ the cooking zone) has become storage for tableware. Food from pantry is ‘inside’ the cooking zone. I have plenty of room to cook, and a salad maker can use the counters by the fridge. It really makes the kitchen feel larger, and yet there is actually slightly less floor. Just not having to circle the island made a huge improvement. I ordered a 36” Premier Pro Range in late April, which arrived in August. I had to have LP gas (propane) installed, and figure out a way to get the gas through a slab. My plumber was a master at problem solving and ran the line through the former downdraft vent from my Jenn-Air slide-in range that was in the island. First a quick review of the Premier Range: I love it! The oven is large. It requires no electricity (has a battery pack). The 6-burners with the griddle are as nice as my Jenn-Air. I had no issues with the quality of that stove, btw. I wanted propane with no electricity due to electric outages. The Premier grates are substantial and having the solid expanse to slide heavy pots (like canners) is wonderful. I have a BEST Cattura downdraft vent on back order. It was ordered the same time as the range, and I got word it was shipped. However, that exciting news was cancelled when I was told that it was in one of the shipping containers that floated away in the port of Seattle. I may get one by the end of January. Till then, I won’t be doing any extreme cooking, but it’s sure nice to be able to scramble eggs again! Countertops are in progress, but they, too will be slow. My lights shipped yesterday, so maybe I can get the electrician out soon. Forgive all the ‘half-assery’, as my husband would say. Pull out shelves will get here. Drawers will be installed properly, paint cans and blue tape will go away, and everything WILL get done. @LilDesignWorks…thanks for your inspiration!...See Moreironcook
