The Insignia
NS-RGFE50SS26 is part of the
Ranges test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Electric Smoothtop Range
models like the NS-RGFE50SS26 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Cooktop high:
This reflects how quickly the most powerful element could raise a large pot of water from room temperature to a near boil.
Cooktop low:
This reflects how well the lowest-powered element or burner kept a low temperature as for melting chocolate. We also set the most powerful element to its lowest setting 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.
