“For electric ranges, we see some of the biggest differences in how well their ovens bake and broil,” says Tara Casaregola, CR’s test engineer in charge of ranges.

But we don’t stop at performance tests. We also survey members on whether their ranges have experienced a break or a problem to calculate the predicted reliability for different range brands.

As a classically trained chef and an enthusiastic DIYer, I've always valued having the best tool for a job—whether the task at hand is dicing onions for mirepoix or hanging drywall.
