A gas range is a kitchen appliance used for cooking that operates on natural gas or propane. It typically features a cooktop with burners for boiling, frying, and sautéing, along with an oven for baking and roasting. Gas ranges are popular for their quick heating capabilities and precise temperature control. Many gas ranges come with additional features such as self-cleaning ovens, convection settings, and multiple burner sizes. They are often preferred by professional chefs and home cooks alike for their ability to provide instant heat and even cooking. Safety features, like flame failure devices, are also common in modern models.
