About

The GE Cafe CGS985SETSS is part of the Ranges test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Gas Ranges models like the Cafe CGS985SETSS are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful burner could raise a large pot of water from room temperature to a near boil.

Cooktop low: This how well the lowest-powered element or burner kept a low temperature as for melting chocolate. 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.
