Slide In Ranges Provide Many Options
Slide-in ranges are a staple of modular kitchens. They are purposefully sized at a standard width of 30 inches to fit between cabinets in modern kitchens, and kitchen designers leave precisely enough empty space in a counter layout to accommodate slide-in range dimensions. The depth of the slide-in range is variable; Sears sells a selection of ranges with 20 different depths!
Kitchen ranges are also available with a variety of cooking surface options. Until recently the choice was dependent upon the power supply. Ranges were either electric and featured resistively heated flat coils that were variably powered by 220-volt current or else they were non-energized appliances that metered out fuel to sustain an open flame.
Slide-in ranges now come with more cooking surface options than ever before because there are now three different types of electric cooking surfaces. In addition to gas burners, which are still favored by many cooks, the cooking surface may be standard electric coils, an electric radiant glass surface or an electric induction glass surface.
Electric induction glass surface ranges are the newest type of cooking surface. Under the glass surface of an electric induction range, an electric current is passed through a coiled copper wire. This creates no heat on the surface of the glass, but it creates an oscillating magnetic field that will in turn create an electric current in any iron or steel placed on top of it. The pot itself heats, not the cooking surface. Because there is no flame or hot surface, electric induction ranges are inherently safer than all other cooking surface types.
Electric radiant glass ranges have a cooking surface of specially formulated glass-ceramic. This material has very low thermal conductivity but allows infrared to pass through. This means that an infrared halogen lamp under the surface of the glass-ceramic will heat a pot or pan placed on top of it without causing the entire surface of the range to become hot. Electric radiant glass ranges are the most popular electric slide-in ranges sold at Sears.
Standard coil electric ranges feature flat or slightly rounded nickel-chromium alloy coils. When a variable current is applied to these coils, they resistively heat and transfer the heat to anything placed on top of them. Standard coil electric ranges are the oldest electric stove technology, but they are still very popular appliances.
