Maytag MGS5752B slide-in gas range

Date Published: 4/30/07

Spice up your kitchen with the upgraded Maytag MGS5752B. Not only does this slide-in gas range offer a classy built-in design, it adds to your cooking pleasure with some newer functional conveniences.

The convenience of a 12,000-Btu power boost burner makes it easier than ever for you to incorporate healthful high-heat cooking tasks such as stir-frying into your repertoire. Vegetables, shrimp and chicken will cook quickly with little added fat if you use your wok and this high-powered burner. More traditional fare, such as sauces and chocolate, will benefit from the flex-choice melting burner that adds a low powered setting to a regular full-size burner. Use the melt setting for chocolate and butter, and for slow cooking of sensitive foods such as creamy sauces.

This stovetop flexibility is combined with a spacious 4.5-cubic-foot capacity oven that features Maytag's PreciseBake system. PreciseBake uses electronic temperature control to monitor internal oven temperature. With this feature, oven temperatures will no longer vary the 25 or more degrees during cooking as they have in older models. As a result, you can expect more consistent results, especially when you bake.

When you finish baking, you'll be pleased to find a variable self-cleaning feature that's just right for the amount of soil left in the oven. You can set it for varying time periods using light, medium or heavy cleaning cycles.

Busy families will like this model for its versatile oven settings. Delay bake starts the oven, even if you're still out picking up the kids. Cook & Hold keeps food warm for up to one hour after baking and keep warm lengthens this holding time, so you can hold foods for family members who arrive long after dinner has been cleaned up.

The controls for this model are conveniently located up front. They consist of knobs for the burners and pushbuttons with a digital display for the oven. Lockout allows you to prevent little ones from operating the oven and prevents turning it on during cleaning.

Cleaning the cooktop is easy thanks to removal burner caps and heavy-duty, cast-iron grates that are finished with a smooth gloss.

Attractive as well as functional, Maytag's MGS5752B is a good value and appropriate for kitchens where a white, stainless steel or black slide-in gas range is required.


Pros: Power boost 12,000-Btu burner, flex-choice melting burner, variable self-clean, may qualify for rebate
Cons: Not available in bisque color
