Aย dual rangeย is a stove with a gas flame cooktop and an electric oven, while aย regular gas rangeย uses no electricity, only natural gas.
Professional chefs and many home chefs who take their cooking and baking very seriously often prefer dual-fuel ranges. The heat of a dual fuel range is drier, leading to better baking. The electric oven results in more even and consistent result for baking because there are not the temperature fluctuations of a gas oven. On the other hand, since gas ranges use moist heat, they are usually better for roasting, broiling and searing. Depending on the manufacturer, dual fuel ranges offer more advanced features, such as steam features, clocks, timers and selfcleaning.
One of the reasons gas ranges are less expensive than dual fuel ranges is that they have fewer moving parts and donโt require both a gas line and a 208/240-volt power line with at least 30 amps.
