Thermador's Pro Harmony PRG304EG freestanding gas range brings real restaurant cooking into the home, thanks to its outstanding burner design.

Although burners may seem inconsequential to some, we are compelled to recommend this range specifically for its unique star burners. These burners feature heavy-duty commercial brass valves that produce some of the most accurate cooking results that can be had at home. If you're looking for incredible gas control at your fingertips, you'll appreciate the PRG304EG.

Brass may be the key to these burners' performance, but their ability to adjust flames to the ultimate low is also a factor in our infatuation with this range. It offers two ultimate low simmer burners that produce the minimal amount of heat for accuracy -- 375 Btu. As such, these burners are ideal for simmering, preparing fine sauces and gentle melting.

Though we like the PRG304EG's burners, the oven is certainly no slouch. It offers accurate electronic control, and it produces convection results that are equivalent to those of the best models in the industry. The self-cleaning setting is as good as any, and the infrared broiler with a 17,000-Btu output is exceptional.

Optional accessories include a selection of backsplashes, colored knobs, island trim, a griddle and a wok. Be forewarned, however, that this model does not offer the typical storage drawer you might expect to find below the oven.

This range isn't for everyone, but we certainly recommend Thermador's PRG304EG to those who require the finest in burner control and have plans to produce intricate stovetop specialties.


Pros: Brass star burners with extra-low setting, infrared broiler, custom accessories available, fits flush with 24-inch depth cabinets
