If an impressive 48-inch pro-style freestanding gas range is what you're looking for, then look no further than the PRG4810 from Jenn-Air, the cooking pros. Professional chefs and wannabes alike will be in awe of all this range has to offer, and at a price that in the world of commercially-styled cooking equipment is actually reasonable.

Start at the top and take note of the six flame-sensing sealed gas burners. This model is so convenient to cook on; if a flame ever goes out, it will relight automatically. And with six burners you're always guaranteed there's a flame burning for adding a last-minute side dish or creating a new sauce. Two of these abundant burners offer Jenn-Air's dual-flame feature, which means that they are so versatile you can go from 15,000 Btu of flame-searing power to 570 Btu of sensitive sauce simmering at the slight twist of a knob. And for breakfast or lunch, take advantage of the stovetop griddle that's perfect for bistro-style pancakes or grilled ruebens. The PRG4810 finally gives you all the control that fine chefs crave.

When it comes to baking and roasting, you'll have two ovens to choose from. The largest offers a 5.3-cubic-foot convection oven equipped with both convect bake/roast and convect broil. Use this oven for your main dish and any temperamental baked goods you may prepare, such as breads, pies and pastries. Be aware also that like a fine chef you'll have total control of time and temperature in this convection oven. A true pro-style range, the PRG4810 doesn't offer automated convection conversion settings or self-clean cycles. Moving on to the secondary oven you'll find a spacious 2.2-cubic-foot cavity that is ideal for preparing all your side dishes and casseroles as well as for keeping completed dishes warm until serving time.

All this cooking flexibility is rolled into an incredibly solid stainless-steel frame, complete with solid pro-style door handles. Other impressive options include a large stainless-steel backsplash and a professional-style hood. Choose Jenn-Air's freestanding range PRG4810N for natural gas installations or PRG4810L for use with propane fuel.
