The Best 30 inch Professional Gas Range for Your Kitchen

If you’re in the market for a stylish new range that gets the job done, you may feel overwhelmed by the selection available. To help you get started, we thought you might find it helpful to take a closer look at two gas ranges offered by Thor Kitchen.

In this article, you will discover the best 30 inch professional gas range for your kitchen.

The Best 30 inch Professional Gas Range for Your Kitchen

Here at Thor Kitchen, we strive to provide professional gas ranges that pack both beauty and brawn – at an affordable price.

Although it depends on who you ask, it shouldn’t take long to learn that gas ranges are generally preferred over electric.

  • Gas ranges give you a visible clue. You can see the flame. And, you can see just how big or small it is. This can help you determine the amount of heat reaching your food and how you should adjust the temperature.
  • Quickly adjusting the temperature on a gas range is much easier than electric. The element on the electric ranges must cool down, which is a much slower process. On the flip side, they take a while to heat up, too. Gas ranges offer a quick increase and decrease in temperature.
  • In the event of a power outage, you will still be cooking with fire in and on your gas range.

Does this sound good to you? If you are ready to run out and purchase that gas range, consider the following options

HRG3080-BS 30 inch Professional Gas Range in Black Stainless Steel

This gas range from Thor Kitchen comes in black stainless steel – which is becoming more and more popular in the hottest designed kitchens. It is sleek and dark with all the perks of stainless steel.

A Single Range Top

While these are both great options to choose as gas ranges for your kitchen, what if you just need a range top, rather than the entire appliance? You are in luck!

Many people choose to install range tops on their kitchen islands. If this is something you are looking for, Thor Kitchen offers a great 30-inch option. The HRT3003U is a 30-inch stainless steel range top. It boasts 4 burners – two in the front and two in the rear. They have a nice range in BTU, from 12,000 to 18,000. The burners are cast iron which means they are heavy duty – and can stand up to the task no matter how much cooking you do. And, because cleanup is important, the black porcelain drip pan underneath makes cleaning effortless.

This range top comes with a stainless steel control panel and four control knobs. And, it is important that you know it is CSA certified for safety.

Conclusion

Kitchens are as similar as they are different. It is important to discover your particular needs when purchasing your new appliances and designing your kitchen. The size of your needs is going to depend greatly on the size of your family and your cooking habits.

Either way, choosing a stainless steel or black stainless steel range with cast iron burner grates from Thor Kitchen will provide you an appliance that is durable, aesthetically pleasing, and will last for many years to come.
