Range burners...

18 years ago

In my last house I had a gas Five Star range top and electric wall ovens and loved the range top except for the burners. Either I'm a messy cook or those burners were impossible to clean. Is there a Viking/Five Star/Wolf/Dacor/etc. that has sealed burners? I also need a huge oven for my extra large roasting pan. I'm thinking this time I will get a whole stove and no wall ovens since space is tighter. My Five Star had one of the burners as a simmering burner and it was terrific for sauces, etc. Why did you pick the range you did? Should I look at dual fuel ranges?

I'm sure you'd have better luck on the appliance forum.

But if I remember correctly, when I was choosing a range the Viking had both sealed and open. And I think my DCS (that I haven't used, yet) does.

Sealed vs open burners - best way to describe as the appliance sales person put it to me - "do you want to bring the sink to the stove, or the stove to the sink" - I chose open - I like being able to take it apart and bring it to the sink
we have a Viking 36" all gas open burner (6) - Oven is plenty large - Oven capacities do vary manufacturer to manufacture make sure to check on the internal specs

good luck
