Ranges come in gas, electric, induction and pro-style varieties, each with different cooktop heat control and cleanup needs. How quickly a cooktop reaches searing temperatures, how gently it simmers and how evenly an oven bakes can vary widely even among ranges that look similar on a showroom floor.
Consumer Reports tested 10 ranges across gas, electric, induction and pro-style categories for cooktop performance, baking evenness and broiling power, so shoppers can compare options within the type that fits their kitchen.
