Cooking Appliance Buying Guide

Whether you're replacing a cooking appliance or designing a whole new kitchen, there's no shortage of choices when it comes to cooktops, ranges, and wall ovens. And with all the new technologies available today, the home chef can take advantage of cooking features once only available to professional chefs.

The main types of cooking appliances are Cooktops, Ranges, Wall Ovens, and Microwaves, as well as Warming Drawers.

Cooktops with separate wall ovens are a great option if you have ample space in your kitchen as they give you greater flexibility in the way you organize and layout your kitchen.

Ranges are the most popular option and work best for standard-size kitchens or when there is limited wall or cabinet space.

Microwaves and warming drawers have come in recent years to be key players in a well-equipped kitchen.
