You CAN get a Pro Range that operates on Propane!Order this New Jenn-Air at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Most of us who cook with gas ranges use Natural Gas, BUT for a surprising number of households LP (Propane) is the only gas fuel type available.

Customers must order specific models that are preconfigured for LP gas. Unfortunately, every model of every brand is not always built in both Natural and LP versions.Good News! Jenn-Air has just released a new version of it's popular JGRP430WP 30" Gas Range in a LP version model JGLRP430WP.

Unusual Range Configurations Most ranges from different manufacturers seem very similar when it comes to the basics. Oven on the bottom - burners on top. Some have more than one oven, some have more burners than others, and perhaps a griddle or a grill, but beyond that, not many striking differences. Well, here are a few ranges that are dramatically different - and you can see it right away. These are specific ranges have unique features for chefs who have specific interests or requirements. Take a look. Step-up Freestanding Ranges from American RangeWonder why all the burners on your range are on the same level? Maybe you've seen restaurants where food is being cooked in what seems to be different cooking heights. American Range has created a "Step-up" range with burners on different levels. When using multiple pots and pans simultaneously, handles become obtrusive and annoying. For this reason, many chefs have requested that burners be lifted to broaden the cooking surface and prevent handles from one pan heating the handles of another. In response, American Range has created the Step-Up Range line. Griddle Broiler on Top from BlueStar The professional-style raised griddle broiler allows for broiling and grilling simultaneously. This unique feature provides a full-size 12-inch griddle with a 600 degree maximum heating capacity. Perfect for last minute crisping, searing, or melting. It is powered by a 15,000btu radiant gas fired burner, capable of producing seared, crisp steaks in minutes! Home Salamander Broiler

Holiday Reminders for Cooking and Drinking Cooking Find your meat probe for roasting. If your oven has a feature allowing you to roast by temperature rather than time, you should use it. It is much more accurate. If you don't use this feature often, chances are that the temperature probe is hidden away with your instruction manual so you'll need to conduct a search ahead of time. Use the right pan for convection. The convection feature is wonderful for roasting and baking, but it's important to remember that the oven air needs to circulate around the food. If you have a roast or a bird sitting on the bottom of a roasting pan with high sides, you need to make sure that a roasting rack or trivet gets the meat above the pan sides so that convection air will encircle the food. Don't forget your low simmer burner. This time of year there are lots of sauces and soups that need to sit on the stove for a long time at a very low settings. If you're having trouble getting a low enough flame on your gas burner try checking to see if you have another burner on your range with a lower simmer setting. Most ranges and cooktops today will have at least one burner capable of maintaining a very low flame, whereas the power burner probably won't be able to turn down low enough for your sauce. Double check your recipe ingredients. Nothing worse than thinking you had
