When shopping for a gas oven for the first time, you have probably come across both gas and duel ranges. Which one you decide on depends on what you are looking for and how much you will use the oven.

Let's break down the differences between gas and dual ranges.

Gas range:All gas ranges use natural gas for cooking, and their primary focus is the stovetop. Ovens in gas stoves work differently from electric ovens. Instead of electrical elements, they use natural gas to heat up. Since these ranges use natural gas, changing the cooking temperature happens quicker than electric ranges.

Gas ovens tend to heat up quicker than electric or dual ranges.

Since the stovetops on gas ranges can be set at high heat, they are ideal for sautéing, frying, and boiling. There is even room to char and broil food with a gas range.

Gas ovens are more energy-efficient and easy to clean. And are preferred by chefs because of the greater heat control.

Dual range:As you may suspect, dual ranges use electricity and gas to power. The stovetop uses gas, while the oven is electric. Some cooks prefer electric convection ovens because they have more precise heating. Some dual-range ranges come with wireless thermometers so you can monitor the cooking temperature without having to take the dish out.

Dual ranges are more expensive than gas ranges when it comes to price. But, if you are an avid baker, you may want to consider a dual oven as you get the best of both worlds, a gas stovetop for greater control and a convection oven for better baking.

Before you buy either range, you must consider the size of your kitchen and whether you need to make any additional adjustments, such as adding a gas line if you don't already have one installed. 30-inch ranges are the standard sizing for kitchens; however, they are available in larger sizes.

Larger ranges do come with more options and more significant cooking space.

If you choose to go with a larger size, the cost of the oven will go up, and you may need to do some kitchen Renos for the stove to fit.
