Freestanding ranges still rule the kitchen in most homes. You can choose between gas and electric ranges and in the latter category, smoothtops dominate the market. You'll find more big name kitchen ranges competing at the "pro" end of the kitchen appliances price spectrum as kitchens morph into places to show off as well as cook. But at Consumer Reports, our months of boiling, baking and broiling tests reveal that you can cook like a pro without spending like one. Check out our Ratings and recommendations of kitchen ranges.
