I can do so much with this appliance. Cooking on the range allows even heat distribution on the pots and pans that I use. My food isn't over cooked or under cooked as was my previous gas range. I no longer burn myself because the control panel is in the front. Baking is even more amazing. My bread comes out perfect. I love to bake an assortment of goodies. Changing temp, setting a timer, options for style of baking, etc. is all with ease. I wouldn't want to go back to anything else.
