This is not your regular old range. There are multiple baking options and I'm kind of obsessed with trying them. I've steam baked Baguettes turning out with a crunchy crust and fluffy inside. I've air fried yummy veges. I've used the probe while convection roasting a chicken and it worked perfectly, without ever having to open the oven to check the temperature. The stove top burners are much more efficient with the flame curving out, then back in, so you don't lose heat at the outer edge of your pan or pot. Not to mention, it looks great! I love it...
