To help make your shopping decision easier, read on for our recommendations of the best gas ranges on the market right now.

Size: 30-inch | Burner BTU: 18,500 | Burners: 5

LG’s double oven range features a whopping 6.9 cubic feet of combined space for roasting, baking and broiling your favorite dishes. The ovens can be set to different temperatures to accommodate two different dishes cooking at the same time, and the bottom oven features ProBake convection technology (hello, perfect cookies!) and a proof setting to help bread dough rise. Meanwhile, five powerful stovetop burners deliver quick, precise heat for even cooking. A 10-minute self cleaning feature gets your oven sparkling with no strong chemicals required. 

Size: 36-inch | Burner BTU: 20,000 | Burners: 6

Dual Fuel ranges combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven, bringing together the responsiveness of cooking with gas and the precision of electric heat. KitchenAid’s model shines for its range of burners including two 20,000 BTU burners for powerful heat, three 15,000 BTU burners for top-notch sautéing and searing, and one 5,000 BTU burner perfectly sized to keep smaller saucepans at a steady simmer. The oven, meanwhile, delivers even heat and airflow to its 5.1 cubic foot interior, and is compatible with Google Assistant or Alexa-enabled devices for hands-free control.

Size: 30-inch | Burner BTU: 13,000 | Burners: 4

GE’s range proves that you don’t need to spend $1,000 (or more) for a gas range that delivers consistent, high-quality results. The roomy, 4.8 cubic foot interior allows you to roast or bake multiple dishes simultaneously, while the oven’s “delay bake” technology lets you set the oven to begin preheating at a later time. And while the cooktop only includes four burners (rather than six), a continuous grate expands the cooking surface to accommodate larger cookware.

Size: 36-inch | Burner BTU: 15,500 | Burners: 5

Anyone looking for a gas range with true “showstopper” appeal will be drawn to ILVE’s elegant, expertly-crafted design. But beyond looks, the 36-inch range features a continuous, cast iron grate system with 5 burners, including an elongated griddle at the middle of the cooktop for pancake mornings. The 3.98 cubic foot dual ovens include a rotisserie function for juicy roasts and chickens, and a storage drawer that doubles as a dish-warming drawer. It uses the oven’s residual heat to get your tableware company-ready in minutes.

Size: 36-inch | Burner BTU: 18,000 | Burners: 6

ZLine’s professional-style range combines 4.6 cubic feet of oven space, convection oven functionality, and three layers of heat-retaining insulation to deliver an optimal performance with every use. The Italian-made burners are constructed with hand-cast brass, which is ultra durable, heats evenly, and adds an element of style to the cooktop.

Size: 36-inch | Burner BTU: 15,000 | Burners: 6

Viking’s 5.1 cubic foot oven capacity lets you cook for a crowd in style. The range includes six functions including natural airflow and convection baking, infrared broiling, convection dehydrating, and convection defrosting, so no cooking project is off limits. The cooktop’s restaurant-caliber, stainless steel burners are also equipped with a “VariSimmer” setting that keeps pots at a steady bubble.

Size: 36-inch | Burner BTU: 22,000 | Burners: 5

Slide-in gas ranges are designed to fit between kitchen cabinets or other appliances for a built-in appearance. Bespoke’s slide-in range provides six cubic feet of oven space, smart technology capability, and an air fryer with an included fry tray. The powerful brass burners bring water to a boil in no time, and perfectly sear steaks and roasts.

Here are a few factors to consider when shopping for a gas range. Keep these in mind when deciding on a model for you.

Gas ranges come in a variety of sizes, both inside the oven and on the cooktop. Oven space is typically measured in cubic feet. If you regularly entertain or cook large meals, look for a range with a larger oven area (ideally 5 cubic feet or larger), and a cooktop with six burners. Conversely, if you primarily cook for smaller groups, a four burner gas range with a smaller oven will cover your cooking needs.

The power of a gas range’s burners are measured in BTUs—the higher a burner’s BTU, the more powerfully hot it can get. If you do a lot of cooking that requires high-heat searing (roasts, steaks, burgers), opt for burners with at least 15,000 BTU. Some ranges also include one or two lower BTU burners, which can keep pots simmering at a steady, not-too-hot temperature.

Many of today’s gas ranges come with extra functionality beyond roasting and baking. If you are an avid or adventurous cook, it can be worthwhile to look out for a gas range with extra features. Save counter space by purchasing a range that includes a built-in air fryer, dehydrator, or convection oven. Some models are also compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, or other smart technology, which allows you to control your range, hands free.

Slide-in gas ranges fit snugly between other appliances or countertops to give the appearance of being built directly into the kitchen. The major upside to a slide-in gas range is aesthetic—they help make your kitchen design look polished and seamless. But when considering whether or not to incorporate a slide-in gas range in your home, space is the number one factor. Make sure you measure the available space carefully to ensure that the range will fit perfectly. Any gaps along the side invite food and other debris to fall into the cracks.

Chefs and interior designers often point to Wolf, Viking and Miele as the best-of-the-best gas ranges on the market. Each of these brands produce professional-quality ranges that deliver quick and precise heat in the oven, and superior control on the stovetop. Our pick is the Viking 36-inch Freestanding All Gas Range, which pairs traditional oven roasting with convection oven functionality, infrared broiling and both dehydrating and defrosting modes.
