How to Buy the Best 36-Inch Gas Range

Here are some important factors to consider when looking for a good 36-inch gas range.

1. Oven Capacity

One of the main reasons many users will opt for the 36-inch gas ranges over the many other gas range sizes is that they will provide a more spacious and higher capacity oven.

However, despite these gas ranges being almost the same size, the capacity of the oven still varies from one model to the other. Also, some will include two ovens to give you more cooking options.

A model with at least 3.5 cubic feet oven capacity should be enough for most users, but larger ovens like the 6.0 cubic feet one you get on the Thor Kitchen LRG3601U will be even more preferable.

2. Burners

The burners that you get on your gas range matter a lot, and here both the number of burners and their heat output matter a lot.

Most of these gas ranges will have at least 5 or 6 main burners at the top which will allow you to cook several dishes at a go. Also, they will include oven burners and some models like Verona VEFSGE365NDSS even have a dedicated broiler burner.

Also, the heat output of the burners is important, and many manufacturers will provide burners with anything from 5,000 to 25,000 BTUs. And if the BTUs can be adjusted, the better the gas range will be for you.

3. Construction Materials

Any gas range that you buy should be well-built and long-lasting to ensure you get the best value for your money. One of the main determinants of durability is the construction materials used to make the frame and other parts of the gas range.

For the frame, stainless steel is the best material choice as it is tough and sturdy. Also, stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion and has a nice finish that will complement any kitchen setting.

For other things like the grates, heavy-duty cast-iron is the best. You should make sure that other things like the hinges and knobs are made from heavy-duty materials. Some heavy-duty aluminum burners like what you get on the Bertazzoni MAS365DFMXE will be perfect.

4. Igniter: Electric or Gas

You will need to ignite the gas to start cooking on your range, hence the igniter plays a crucial role, and is hence an important factor to consider as you choose between the many models.

For the igniter, you will typically need to choose between the electric and gas igniters. And while both work well enough, the gas igniters will be more convenient when you want to be able to use the range even when there is a power outage while electric ones offer more consistency.

5. Functionality

The best 36-inch gas range for you is one that offers great functionality. While the term functionality is quite relative, you need to check things like the ease of use and cleaning, the aesthetics of the range to ensure that it will suit your preferences.

Also, you will need to consider other things like how much food you intend to be cooking on the range and from where to ensure that you choose a model that has been designed to suit your specific needs.

6. Safety

Your gas range needs to be safe to use and for everyone that will be around you when cooking. And one of the best ways to ensure your gas range is safe is to go for something with an ignition system that is hard to fire up accidentally.

Also, models with a heavy-duty build like Bertazzoni MAS365DFMXE will be relatively safer to use because the construction makes it more stable and reduces the likelihood of it tipping over accidentally.

Other things like sealed burners and secure oven door and burner lid will help to ensure the gas range is safer to operate.

7. Ease of Maintenance

Like any other appliances, your 36-inch gas range will require some maintenance, and this in many instances means cleaning it up.

A model with a fingerprint and smudge resistant finish will give you an easier time when it comes to clean up as you will only need to wipe it down.

Also, removable grates and dishwasher-safe burner components will make cleaning up your gas range easier.

Conclusion

Finding the best 36-inch gas range for your home does not have to be a complicated affair as this piece provides the perfect starting point with recommendations and a buying guide.

While every model on our 36-inch gas range review is top quality, the Thor Kitchen B01D73N9F4 seems to have an edge and is hence our best overall. With this model, you get 6 powerful burners, continuous cast-iron grates, an infrared broiler burner and much more.

But, if you would rather spend as little cash as possible and still get a superior quality gas range with a lot to offer from super high BTU burners to a solid stainless steel build, the Atosa ATO-6B is an excellent buy.
