24 Inch Stoves Guide

A Guide to 24 Inch Stoves

Buying and choosing a stove for your kitchen can be quite confusing. There are so many sizes, types and models to choose from that the decision can get overwhelming. A 24-inch stove is in actual fact the average size for a stove and is perfect for both large and small kitchens. They are practical and affordable. Many small apartments and studios choose 20-inch stoves but a lot of people find that even though they are slim they don’t quite get the job done. The next size up is 24 inches which gives you just that little extra space you need. 40-inch gas and electric ranges can be a little too big sometimes and a lot of people say they rarely ever use all the space in the oven when cooking. The larger size ovens and stoves are really best left to the pros!

There are many factors to consider when choosing your stove and one of the most important things to think about is if you want an electric or a gas range. Cooking with gas can be risky but so can cooking with electricity and they both have their pluses and minuses. The next most important thing to consider is budget because it is essential picking right the first time otherwise you will end up spending a lot more money than you wanted to – so spend your money right. Here is what we believe is important and what we feel are the best 24-inch stoves this year to buy.

Important Things To Consider When Buying A Stove

As mentioned above it is important to pick a stove which is on the right fuel you need. You can get gas, electric and even dual fuel ranges which give you the best of both worlds. You may even be interested in the types of stoves that offer two ovens where you can bake two different meals at different temperatures but at the same time. Most gas ranges are made for precision because they produce more BTU’s and this type of range is mostly used by professional cooks. Electric ovens give you precision on the oven temp but can be annoying if you have problems with your electric and you get power-cuts often in your area.

Think about your needs. Do you cook a lot? Do you cook often and for large groups of people or do you only cook for yourself? You can really narrow down your choice wisely if you know exactly what you are looking for. Do you really need a stove with 6 burners? Do you want white or stainless steel?

Next, you need to consider your budget. Don’t go looking at ovens you can’t afford but keep in mind that many outlets have sales on during holidays so be sure to wait and shop around before purchasing something.

Standard Features of Stoves

Most new models have a range of standard features and unless you are buying a really old stove then they should have all of these following features built in them.

Multiple and adjustable racks. Most standard ovens, of whatever size, come with two or more racks which can be adjusted depending on what you are cooking. Ovens come with a standard door lock which can be used for example when the oven is in self-cleaning mode. When an oven is set to self-cleaning, the inside of the oven can increase rapidly and this is designed to prevent burn injuries. All of the more modern ovens have a broil feature which allows you to apply high heat very close to the food. This is also known as an upside-down grill! This is a quick cooking method and can be used to brown and crisp off foods as well. Plenty of designs have been made with windows on the oven door so you can check the progress of your food without having to open the door and affect the temperature inside the oven. A lot of people buy ovens without a window but we recommend you get one with. Every oven will also have a standard light which can also be turned on and off manually which helps you to see the food clearly without having to stick a torch in the oven! All these features have been designed to make cooking both simple and swift. Make sure your oven has all these things before purchasing.

Avanti DER24P3S 24-Inch Electric Range With 4 Elements

We really love Avanti because they make top quality products at an affordable price and their designs are seriously luxurious. This model comes in stainless steel with a warming drawer underneath and has a 2.3 Cu. Ft. oven capacity size. This newer model has a backsplash to help keep things clean when frying and boiling and the steel used is of high durability meaning it won’t scratch or bend easily. Customers have given this one a thumbs up and if you want to go for all-electric then this is the one to choose. They don’t do this model in white yet which is a pain if you are looking for white appliances but their stainless steel models are snazzy and reliable.

AVANTI GR2415CB Black Gas Freestanding Range

If you want a gas range which is 24 inches then go for this one. This model comes in black and is modern looking with a slim fit. It comes with automatic electric ignition, a 60-minute timer, a see-through glass door, a storage door and a black splash. Similar in design to the stainless steel model this averages around the same price as the electric version. Customers again have rated this as a top product and we think so too. This is a perfect and practical option for those smaller spaces where you need to fit an oven into.

They are equipped with flame failure safety devices in case the flame accidentally extinguishes meaning it will automatically cut off the gas supply to prevent harm. They don’t have backsplashes but the oven windows are larger. They come made with storage drawers on the bottom and four sealed burners on the top of the stove.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What size of cooking range do I need?

Without doubts, this is a very important question and one that anyone getting a range should ask themselves. However, the answer to this question is connected to different factors like your budget, the size of your kitchen, the amount of space you’re willing to give up for the range, and many more important factors. A report on SearsHomeServices shows that 90% of freestanding ranges/ovens are 30 inches.

2. How do I know when my cooking range needs repair?

There are many ways to know when your cooking range needs repair. Heating issues, glass breakage, non-functional burners, smelling gas, uneven cooking of food; are all things that could happen to show something is obviously wrong with your cooking range. The best thing to do if any of these is noticed is to opt for a repair as soon as possible without taking chances.

What We Think

Making a decision is down to you but we have chosen Avanti if you want something less expensive because they make good quality products which are still stylish. If you want to spend a little more then go for the Blomberg range. Gas is more efficient when cooking but the electric ovens have more features.

In conclusion, we really love all four ovens and couldn’t choose between what to put at the top of our list. Depending on personal needs and specification we think these are the best four to choose from. Along with their features and design, these brand names hold high when it comes to customer service as well.
