About - Frigidaire Gallery FGGF3031KW
The Frigidaire Gallery FGGF3031KW is part of the kitchen range test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas range models like the Gallery FGGF3031KW are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful burner could raise a 6-liter (6 1/3-quart) pot of water from room temperature to a near boil. Cooktop low: This reflects the gentlest burner's ability to melt and hold chocolate without scorching it. We also set the most powerful burner to its lowest flame to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil. Baking: This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.

Features & Specs - Frigidaire Gallery FGGF3031KW
High-power burners The number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting). Mainstream ranges typically have one or two high-power burners. Pro-style ranges often have four. High-power burners	2
Medium-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks. Medium-power burners	2
Low-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings of 6,500 Btu/hr or less (sometimes called simmer burners). These are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces. Low-power burners	1
Number of cooktop burners Total number of individual cooktop burners. Number of cooktop burners	5
Convection mode Has a convection feature that uses a fan or two to circulate heated air, and sometimes an extra heating element. The convection mode can be turned off if you prefer conventional cooking. Convection mode	No
Double oven Double oven models have a second oven cavity. Most have a separate small oven above the main one complete with its own controls, door, window, oven light, slide-out rack, and self-clean function. While the upper oven offers easy access, the main oven is relatively low; you'll need to crouch to remove items from lower shelf positions. Other designs convert a single oven into two using a slide-in partition (though with a shared door.) Double oven	No
Cooking drawer Drawer below the main oven that can cook foods (up to a few inches high), as well as warm or heat serving bowls and plates. The cooking drawer has its own temperature control so can be set to cook a dish independent of the main oven. Foods must be lifted up out of the drawer (lacks a slide-out rack), and the drawer requires manual cleaning. Cooking drawer	No
Slide-in Slides between cabinets; unfinished exterior on the sides of the range. The edge of the cooktop overlaps the counter on each side and all controls are on front panel for a built-in look. Slide-in	No
Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so. Many pro-style ranges (brands such as Viking, DCS, and GE Monogram, among others) have full stainless-steel construction. Stainless steel available	Yes

Comment:

I use my range for both everyday and large family get togethers - as many as 15-20 people, full meals. I utilize the stovetop and oven equally for both main dishes, specialty dishes, baked goods and desserts. I love the reliability of this range, ease of use and cleaning, control features such as timer/start delay/quick bake/self-clean (oven temp signals when desired temperature is reached - and it heats up really quickly), the griddle option, heavy-duty stovetop grates and control knobs. Overall, for the purchase price, I just couldn't find a range that compared in all these categories at anywhere near the everyday price of this range. I have owned the range, problem-free, for approximately 16 months and found only two things I didn't care for - 1) the oven rack hook-up to the oven door when opened, this is a feature that didn't work for me, but was easily unhooked; 2)no broiler pan included in the purchase (but I had a heavy-duty brolier pan from my previous range).

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

I am looking for a new range for my new house and was thrilled to find my current one with a CR very good rating. I have never had a problem with this range and I cook a lot! I raised three boys and have done a bit of catering. It has an even cooking fan-assisted convection-like oven and the high powered burners. My only complaint is how difficult it is to clean the enamel white cooktop. Don't know if the new models have addressed this; mine is 7 years old.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
