36” counter depth gas range? bertazzoni, fisher paykel, other..?
Comments (8)The ranges were redesigned in 2018 and the oven is completely different now. I'm not sure how relevant the older reviews are any more. See https://blog.designerappliances.com/new-bertazzoni-ranges/ for a review of the updated ranges. I noticed an error in the review, they said the Broiler is 15000 BTU, it's only 9000 BTU on the 30" & 48" and 11000 BTU on the 36". The review does mention a studier range base and legs. So maybe the "curling" has been fixed. I purchased the 30" Pro all gas range in November and am generally happy with it. I'm happy with the burners and the range is very easy to clean. The only item of concern is the temperature control for the oven seems to be imprecise, it's either lower or higher that the temperature selected. I've adjusted the temperature on the oven a bit to try to compensate for this issue. It now seems to align at 350, if you select 350 on the control the temperature will come up to 350 on the gauge. But otherwise the control is either lower or higher than what you select, that is select 450 on the control and the temperature on gauge will go above 500 or so. As long as I can trust the temperature gauge, I can always just adjust the temperature up or down. The temperature gauge is different than what is displayed on their website and I find it difficult to figure out what the temperature really is. I have this gauge below, notice the four lines between 250 & 350, yet there are five lines between 350 & 450. There is also a dot above 250 and 450, not sure what the dots mean. Maybe 450 is at the dot above the '4'? Since I don't bake, I don't really need a precise temperature, if I'm off by 20 degrees it shouldn't a big deal. The oven does seem to maintain the same temperature over time. The oven does seem to go below 250, maybe the low is around 220 and the high seems to be around 550 or so. It's kinda hard to really know with this gauge. I'd much rather have this temperature gauge, which is so easy to read:...See MoreI’m planning to buy a Fisher-Paykel 30 inch classic induction range.
Comments (154)If rack 1 is on the lowest slot and rack 2 is on the highest slot, you have 6 3/4" clearance between the two. I happened to have a pot with lid that is exactly 6 3/4" high so can confirm that this just slipped in with a "shove". In addition, the distance from the top of rack 2 to the upper heating elements would only be 2" and given your baking sheet is going to have some dimension to it, your veggies are going to be less than 2" from the upper elements. The only oven functions that don't use the upper heating elements are True Aero (which uses a rear element), Aero Pastry, and Pizza. True Aero might work for your scenario if you can squeak the dutch oven with lid within the 6 3/4" space....See MoreFisher Paykel scratch & dent or new Café induction range--same price
Comments (16)I will chime in because I am in the same boat. I love the F&P for styling but that oven is very tiny. Despite their marketing about fitting a turkey in there, you might be able to jam it in but then the top will most certainly burn. The bottom oven of the Cafe double oven model is 4 cu.ft. so larger than the F&P. My small microwave capacity is 1.2 cu.ft. so the F&P oven is only 3x the size of my microwave. That put it in perspective for me as to how small it is. The bottom rack is fixed to ensure that it is not too close to the lower element so that makes the usable capacity even smaller. Now after saying all that, we are 2 seniors who cook for the just the two of us. I am not a baker, so my oven use is just for broiling fish, roasting vegetables and cooking chicken breasts and pork tenderloins. So I know I could function with that small oven but the question is do I want to be limited by it?? With Covid, family extended family dinners are a thing of the past for now. And when the restrictions are lifted we will likely host family dinners out at the cabin that has a generous wall oven. I have read a lot of negative reviews about the Cafe and when I viewed it, the oven racks are a joke - very flimsy, poorly fit, and not fully telescoping. But I am having a hard time paying a high full price for a teeny, tiny oven. I will say, if I came across a scratch and dent model like you have where the price is comparable to the Cafe, I would probably pick the F&P just because we have a small galley kitchen and the F&P would not overwhelm the kitchen. But at full price.....I dunno. Ok, that was probably no help to you whatsoever, lol. Marilyn...See MoreNeed a 36 inch gas range: Fisher and Paykel?
Comments (1)The Fisher Paykel OR30SDI6X1 is a 30" induction range. However, in Consumer Reports testing, the OR30SCG4X1 gas range performed poorly and was not recommended so you might want to avoid the 36" version, OR36SCG4X1, and the OR36SDG4X1 which may differ only in appearance....See MoreAngel
