Stove/hood recommendations?

4 years ago

I’m looking to get a brand new gas stove/hood combo (present for myself after dealing with my old crappy oven that burns in the back and undercooks in the front), for our kitchen renovation and was hoping some of y’all might point me in the direction of some brands to check out. I really love the look of a Wolf range, but what other “professional” brands are out there? Some info about me:


- I really enjoy cooking, cook every meal from scratch, and just now getting into things like baking bread (yay quarantine!). A really good oven is also a must for me.


- I cook primarily for only 4 people, the most amount I’d cook for is 8 people.


- I used a 4 burner gas range (an old Whirlpool) and it seemed okay in terms of burner power (until one burner died) so I don’t think I need something that gets extremely hot but not sure. I don’t have a ton of room in the new kitchen (u shaped layout) so I’m debating a 30” standard vs a 36” professional. The 30” range would mean I can keep my existing wood cabinets that are only 12 years old and in excellent condition (and just repaint them) but I’m worried that I’ll regret not getting a bigger range.


- I use a cast iron griddle pan but not sure I need a built-in griddle that comes with the range.


I am definitely willing to pay extra for a good brand. The stove is definitely the workhorse of my kitchen. Any opinions for what to look at?
