Jenn-Air 30-Inch Slide-in Gas Range JGS8750A

Date Published: 6/21/06

A conventional gas range, the JGS8750A lacks Jenn-Air's typical grill-top feature. In place of the grill, this model offers four versatile sealed gas burners with electronic ignition and cast-iron grates.

Ideal for those who pride themselves on their stovetop dishes, this unit does a great job of searing and stir frying, thanks to its high-output 12,000 Btu burner. Delicate tasks additionally benefit from the superb control provided by this model's low-output simmer burner.

Equipped with a spacious 4.0-cubic-foot standard oven, this model offers a versatile broiler that allows you to prepare meats, chicken and fish just the way you like them.This versatility is ensured by a variable-temperature broil setting that can be adjusted from 350 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although this model lacks Jenn-Air's signature convection oven, it does offer an interesting feature that benefits baking and roasting. Even-Oven assist is a feature that adds an electric element to a gas oven. This added element serves to enhance the sometimes problematic top browning and broiling of a gas oven.

Although a Jenn-Air model, this unit does not have a built-in ventilator and will require the installation of a separate ventilation hood. A convenient storage drawer is also provided across the bottom for storage of your extra pots and pans.

Sophisticated controls make the Jenn-Air JGS8750A a pleasure to use and provide customized options for language, time, temperature, and scroll speed.

Pro: comes with all four gas burners, has electric assist feature for gas oven, one high output and one simmer burner
Con: lacks the convection oven
