30' vs. 36' wide range

17 years ago

Hi All,

I'm torn between choosing a 30" range vs. a 36" range. I like to bake (especially cookies). Is there any difference (such as can I put more cookie sheets in a 36"?), but with 36" costing roughly $1200-$1500 more, I want to make sure I'm getting a reasonable return on my investment.

Thanks!

Our DCS 36" all gas range can take full size sheet pans; not all can. However, while it has a convection (fan) switch, it is not true convection (having a third heat source to heat the air before it enters the oven). A dual-fuel range may give you a true convection oven that will allow you to bake several racks of cookies at the same time.

Thanks, gizmonike. I'm looking into the American Home Range ARR-366I. It appears to have: "dual convection motors and louvered side panels to enhance uniform heat distribution throughout the large oven cavity." Does anyone have experience with this range? and what have your results been for baking cookies?

TIA!
