After spending 10 to 20 thousand dollars
on a Dual fuel, Pro, 48 inch range, you would think would meet all your needs.
However, it is simple to buy the wrong range.
The key is buying the right 48 inch
professional range for you and how you use it.
And this video to learn about all
the features as well as problems for brands like Wolf, Thermador, Miele.
And if you less familiar yet interesting brands like SKS and Hestan
will also cover the difference between All-gas and Dual fuel
then will rate the best range for each feature and their performance.
There is no single best pro range,
however, by the end you will know which range may be right for you.
Before we talk about brands and models,
you should know the difference between All-gas and Dual fuel
gas ovens have a moist heat and electric have a dryer heat voice.
Heat is better for roasting meats, whereas electric is better for baking.
On average, Dual fuel ranges have a more accurate temperature than All-gas range.
It's easier to control the temperature for precision cooking and electric all-gas
ranges have better boilers, especially if they're infrared Broan
and will sear much better than an electric boiler.
There is a huge difference between All-gas and Dual fuel Wolf ranges.
Only the grill, griddle and French top are the same.
The Hallmark's to abort duel fuel are the infrared grill and griddle,
infrared is a more directed and intense heat than regular gas.
For better performance,
the grill burns off the drippings for easier cleaning as well.
You do have a French top option to be able
to cook different foods at different temperatures.
At the same time as well,
the burners upgraded to multiple 20 and 18000 BTU burners versus the fifteen
thousand of All-gas in Wolf new Dual fuel range is due out in late 2021.
The ovens will have the Verticross blower
convection system instead of single convection like the gas model blower's
move are Faster than fans for more, even heat and more space in the oven.
The range also features Wolf Gourmet.
You pick the food, how you like it cooked
and the gourmet will program time and temperature.
Along with 50 automatic recipes.
The Dual fuel will also have the new Wi-Fi system.
The PRO RANGE hasn't debuted yet.
It'll be interesting to see how the Wi-Fi works in their tie ins.
Biggest problem for Wolf now is availability.
They also do not have the steam
functionality of some of the other newer brands or any color selection.
Miele was the last major manufacturer producing pro range the company,
a lot of the best features, like an infrared grill and griddle.
Then they added a few more like self-cleaning racks in dishwasher safe
grates, Miele off for steam, assist in all their dual fuel models,
which is essential for hardening fluids and baking bread.
You have the speed oven with a warming
draw instead of a smaller oven Speed Queen.
So allow you to cook as a microwave convection oven or using bould to save
time without the rubbery microwave texture.
The real highlight of this range is
the MasterChef controls Miele simplifies the cooking process.
You choose the food and weight.
The oven calculates time and temperature
in 100 different recipes to cook automatically.
Miele doesn't have Wi-Fi smart capabilities yet.
Smartarse not there yet is a feature or is a must have, but will be in the future.
Speed ovens have great functionality but lack the capacity of a regular oven.
Lastly, Miele a burner is maxed out
at nineteen thousand with twelve and thirteen thousand back burners.
It's a bit underpowered compared to the other manufacturers.
Thermador is the best known
for professional style ranges, aggressive package offerings and their
rebate program, in fact, with a rebate program,
you receive free dishwasher code with other qualified purchases.
Thermador makes two different series
of Pro range is the Pro Grand series and the Harmony series.
The grant series is the premium offering of the two with a larger capacity
of around five point seven versus four point nine cubic feet and one higher
output burner 22000 BTUs plus a few extra cooking modes.
In a small radio clock, Pro Grand offers steam oven so you can
cook a whole meal on steam and warming draws as well.
You also have an induction option in the Pro Grand
instead of a set of gas burners inductions faster than gas for the better simmer
while requiring less venting is safer and easier to clean.
However, Harmony is more popular because it doesn't protrude from the cabinets
and it's a little less expensive, unlike the Pro Grand.
But both ranges have the star burn
for consumer better at 100 degrees on two burners.
It's also raised for easy cleaning Thermador smart functionality may be
the best on this list with their home connect app and recipe tie.
Electric Grill and Grill are not as fast as infrared or even gas.
The steam oven does not have the capacity of a regular single oven.
Burners are decent but not as powerful as the Hestan Wolf arrest chaos.
Hestan is the latest commercial range company to design a stone for your home.
It's built incredibly well with brass ignition and solid metal knobs.
Normally, I don't know these is more than
just niceties because they don't impact service.
However, they are pretty impressive.
Hestan now is the highest output burner at 30000 BTU and it's sealed.
They also have the the next most powerful
burner, 23000 with combination of 15000 BTU burners.
The Griddles thermostat control for precise temperature.
Unlike most other grills at high and low, the ovens called convection.
It's simple convection but changes speed
and temperature to maintain proper temperature.
Hestan ranges are in some notable
restaurants like French Laundry, but we'll be testing their claim.
Their Marquise controls are different as well.
They're on the handle instead of the range and are swiped like your smartphone.
Hestan has 12 interesting colors covering the basics.
It's wall oven more than every other manufacturer on this list.
Hestan, however, has no grill, no Wi-Fi smart features.
Its single convection temperature claims have to be checked.
There also no special steam speed or mortgagors.
New brands seem to have the same playbook,
match the features of existing products and add a few SKS is now the most feature
pro range you can buy Burner's high output at twenty three thousand BTU
with a combination of 15000 BTU three of the burners or ultralow at one hundred
BTU matching Thermador is high and low output.
The griddle is chromium.
The easy cleaning surface JennAir made famous.
SJS adds induction the top again like Thermador for speed,
summer and other benefits Suvi or cooking through precision water immersion.
As this case is unique feature, you can cook with precise results with sous vide.
Just add your protein and marinade in a vacuum seal bag,
then wait for it to each core temperature for a perfectly cooked meal.
SKS is also Wi-Fi enabled through LG
then Kulab no recipe tienes in the Wi-Fi and no grill.
New brands are also technically have
a problem with service technicians and availability.
So check first before you buy.
Pro ranges need more service than any
other appliance that almost 30 percent in the first year.
That said, a 48 inch range is also much larger than an average appliance with more
burners, ignition systems in two ovens before you become panicked.
Half these ranges are fixed easily.
Ignitors are one of the most common repairs
for gas ranges in general, but usually just a burn on a 40 age range.
You have at least three to seven more installation customer education and two
big factors that contribute to the life of your age.
However, service for sophisticated appliance becomes crucial.
You want your range to work on Thanksgiving.
Always inquire about repair before you buy any appliance.
First, there's no single best professional range you should buy the features

ranges before you buy a possible always inquire about service as well.
