Product review (5 stars): This is THE Stove for a Modern Kitchen
I searched for a couple of months looking for the right stove for our newly remodeled kitchen and we decided on the GE Cafe gas range.  This stove is the flagship appliance for GE's Cafe line and they did not hold anything back with it.  We have owned the stove for 3 weeks now and have used virtually every feature on it and it has passed with flying colors.

The materials of the stove are top notch.  I have read some reviews about melting and overheated knobs, but the ones that came on my April 2010 stove are metal with no overheating issues.

The griddle that comes with it is very cool, although you would not want to use it to cook anything that can splash like bacon as it is very messy.  Stick with pancakes.

The electronic control panel for the stove is very intuitive and user friendly.  Most people will be able to start using it right away without needing to read the manual as everything works the way you think it would.

A couple of other features that are impressive is the meat probe that allows you to cook to internal temp on meats which works VERY well and the light for the over.  I know this sounds stupid, but you can see inside the stove very well without having to open the door.  This is very different from the GE Profile stove I replace.

My only frustration with the stove is you have to convert it to LP if natural gas is not available in your area and they make it such that you pretty much have to have the gas company do it.  That added another $100 to my costs but it was still worth it.  (It would be nice if appliance manufacturers made this easy enough so Joe Homeowner could do it, but on the other hand they probably don't want Joe Homeowner messing with gas!) The gas company will also adjust the burners to make sure they are properly regulated, which could resolve some issues other users were having.

If you are looking for a very functional stove that is sure to catch people's eye this is the stove for you.
