I am no too familiar with Gas ranges.  I had one for a short time in New Mexico.  I was pleased to be able to have one in my present home.  I love the convenience of gas cooking.  I love the double oven to allow for multiple items being cooked at different temperatures and times.  I love the ease of cleaning the top.  I hated my glass top electric range because of the baked on food which would not be cleaned unless I used a razor blade which then scratched the top.  I don't have the problem with this range.  Yayee!!! Did I mention I love my new gas range?
