Hi this is John with Designer Appliances and today we're gonna be taking an
in-depth look at the Wolf GR 304 all gas range. Wolf ranges are one of the most
recognizable luxury appliances in the world, their signature red knobs and pro
style design make a statement in any kitchen.
But Wolf ranges are so much more than just a visual centerpiece. Here we'll
walk you through what makes the Wolf GR 304 such a unique range while also
showing you how it can elevate your cooking experience. The heart of this
range is the cooktop - ideally with a cooktop heat delivery to your pots and
pans should be even inconsistent while also providing a wide range of operating
temperatures. The problem with most cook tops however especially those with high
output, is that they are unable to handle delicate simmering tasks that require a
low controlled flame. For example, typically a range with a 15,000 BTU
output will it it's best to be able to achieve1,500 BTUs on the
lowest setting, not nearly low enough for delicate items.
Wolf has solved this issue with their dual stack burner. Each burner consists
of an inner ring and an outer ring that operate independently.The inner ring is
for delicate cooking and can go as low as 300 BTUs perfect for those simmering
sauces or melting chocolate. As you turn the control knob to higher temperatures,
the inner ring will shut off and activate the larger more powerful outer
ring capable of achieving 15,000 BTUs, perfect for searing and boiling water.
The top-left burner is the 9,200 BTU burner whereas the top right and 2 front
burners can reach 15,000 BTUs. The GR 304 also features continuous cast iron
grates which makes it easy to slide heavy pots and pans around. The cast iron
grates are also durable and dishwasher friendly making them easy to clean. Each
of the ranges for burners are sealed burners meaning spills can be easily
contained. In addition each burner has a sensor that detects if the flame has
gone out while cooking and automatically reignites it. Since the GR 304 is such a
powerful range this automatic spark ignition system is a great safety feature.
Down below, the gas oven provides even consistent heat across all racks. The
convection fans help to circulate air evenly resulting in up to a 25%
reduction in cooking time. The GR 304 also has an infrared 18,000 BTU broiler
that sears quickly and evenly which makes broiling a steak practically
foolproof.The infrared heat generates a much higher temperature and heats faster
than other types of heat. This all gas range is pretty basic when it comes to
oven features so if you're the type of person who turns on the oven and doesn't
think twice about what setting to use it should meet your needs. Basically you can
either set a temperature from 150 to 500 degrees or set it to broil - you'll also
have a button to toggle to convection fans on and off. For the most part
convection will yield the best results however when you're baking delicate
items like custards souffles and cakes, it's recommended to turn convection off.
The capacity of the GR 304 is about 4.4 cubic feet and the interior oven
depth boasts 17 inches with a 24 inch wide width making the GR 304 an ideal
size to handle cooking a turkey and a 16 by 13 roasting pan. Each oven comes with
three oven racks and there are five different rack positions in the oven - one
of the racks is a full extension ball bearing rack that extends all the way
out of the oven to help you easily access hot food heavy casseroles and pot roasts.
There's an enhanced interior view that has a large double panel glass door
window and bright dual halogen lights that allow you to peek in on what you're
baking without having to open the door and disturb the cooking process.
