Looks good, burners not as powerful as I'd like
on June 21, 2011
Posted by: RT
I've had this stove for about 7 years and like it: it's been a good, dependable range. Works fine, but top burners (gas) are not as powerful as I thought they'd be - not hot enough to really stir-fry well. It just ends up kind of 'simmering' instead - or to a "medium fry" heat, and that's with preparing only 1 or 2 servings at a time just to do that. It can sear a little if you use good heavy pan (I prefer cast iron), but you can only do one or two pieces of meat at a time - any more and it brings the cooking temp down too low to sear well. I've had gas company check and everything is working properly - it's just not very powerful. Both ovens work fine (electric).
I've never liked black glass on ranges (like the top on this), but thought I could learn to like it. It's very hard to keep clean - - everything shows on it - - even when it's clean, you still see streaks, fingerprints, etc. I know there are special cleansers and cloths for glass tops, but who wants to pull out a "cleaning kit" every time you use it. I just wipe down with a micofiber cloth and let "good" be "good enough."
If you're looking for a professional look and average performance, this is a good choice, but pay close attention to the burner BTUs: If you really want professional performance and high heat needed for searing/stir-fries, this probably isn't a good choice. RT

I have had this oven for 5 years and love it! It does what an oven should and looks great doing it! I have received sooo many compliments. It looks like one of the overpriced higher end custom brands. Great if you have the space!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it

I've had this range for 5 years, and we love it. Gas cook-top,
convection/conventional full oven and conventional side oven-
it's everything we need. The side oven is small. but heats up as fast as a toaster-oven! It LOOKS like a professional range,
without the heavy-duty, hard-to-clean features of a Viking, etc. For the price, this range is a winner!

what a beauty

It's a great looking stove. I get compliments on it all the time. Easy to clean, easy to use. The side oven works well when you just want to bake something in a small pan. Good storage in the bottom drawer. I only wish the side oven was an inch or two wider but other than that I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

good value

I have an early version of this oven PLCF489CCD. The model shown here has a few more features. I love cooking with mine. The black glass can be some work to keep clean as i shows dust. The 2nd oven has been useful, works well, but is a bit narrow. This was expected since it isn't a 48" range. The main oven is big enough for a turkey. The convection feature handles 3 racks of cookies well. I can manage a family dinner for 12 to 18. I do wish they had 2 burners together with the same btu's for even heat when making gravy in a roasting pan, or to set a griddle on.
I would recommend this to a friend!
