Simply put, the KitchenAid KGRS807S is one of the best gas ranges you can buy without going for a commercial model. With innovative features, convection and a host of extras, the KGRS807S is an easy Best Buy choice.

Setting the KGRS807S apart from previous KitchenAid ranges is its TripleTier burner. This high-end concept utilizes a stacked burner design with rows of gas jets arranged one on top of another. Depending on the heat level desired, a varying number of jets are used. Thus, with one burner, you get a tremendous range of cooking power. Simmer with as little as 600 Btu or move quickly to a full boil using up to 15,000 Btu, all with the same burner.

Equally impressive is the self-cleaning, true-convection oven. Three racks and a convection fan ensure even baking of foods. With a capacity of 4.1 cubic feet, the KGRS807S's oven is a bit smaller than what you find in some other ranges, but the baking performance trumps this small disadvantage.

Special touches make the KGRS807S the model of choice if you like to experiment with more advanced dishes. For example, the InstaWok reversible grate flips over, providing a recessed well that is perfect for holding your wok. Breadsmiths will welcome the dough-raising function that maintains the oven at the perfect temperature for rising dough, and a warming drawer is ideal for keeping all your delicacies warm until every last guest has arrived.

The versatile broil element allows you a full, broad broil using the entire element, or you can just employ the center portion for smaller portions. When your cooking is done, the KGRS807S's variable self-clean function makes it easy to get your oven back to spic-and-span. Especially useful is the energy-saving, quick-clean cycle that cuts the time needed to clean a lightly soiled oven.

A solid-performing gas range loaded with lots of convenient touches, KitchenAid's KGRS807S is truly a Best Buy to be appreciated by the foodie at your house.
