General Electric Slide-In Gas Range with Convection Oven JGS968SHSS

Date Published: 3/20/08

Give any kitchen an instant facelift and a totally new look with the high-performance General Electric Slide-In Gas Range with Convection Oven JGS968SHSS.

By sliding easily between two new or existing cabinets, this unit lends itself to a total remodeling job or a quick update. And, if you think the look is great, just wait until you start cooking.

The versatility of these sealed burners is amazing for a home use unit. From a simmer low of 150 degrees Fahrenheit to a power boil requiring 15,000 Btu, this range gives you exactly what you need for every surface cooking task. When you're done experimenting with sauces, stir-frys and rolling boils, you can turn to the even-heating convection oven for some fabulous baked goods and terrifically moist yet brown and crisp roasted meats and birds. This model is for the cook in you, especially if you need to do your cooking in the 30 inches of space required by a standard range.

You'll find that, beyond the cooking and baking, this model offers sophisticated precise electronic controls and a convection conversion system that makes using this oven a quick and easy adaptation. The easy-to-clean sealed gas burners offer durable heavy, cast-iron grates with a continuous surface--perfect for moving around even your heaviest pots and pans. A variable self-clean oven provides just the right cleaning times for either heavy or light soil. Halogen interior lighting is another feature you'll be happy you have. With these bright lights it is so easy to clearly see what is happening in the oven without opening the door.

Smart, sleek, and featured for convenience, the General Electric JGS968SHSS warrants its stiff price tag.

Pro: excellent variety of burners, good level grates, versatile, quality-built oven
Con: expensive
