Shop Electric Ranges
What kind of range do you have? Your Electric range is likely the most essential appliance in your home. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to whip up eggs and bacon, or grandma’s “secret” tomato soup recipe that has a way of bringing the whole family together at the dinner table.
At Rent-A-Center, we don't want you to miss a single moment because your range’s stove top heats unevenly or just isn’t working like it did before. We’ll help you get a new Electric kitchen range that’s a newer, better version of your current one or upgrade to a more modern one altogether.
Now's the time to make sure you're getting the right range for your cooking and baking needs. We'll walk you through all of the information you need to know to make your best decision.
Parts of a Range to Know
Can’t tell grates from induction burners? Touch pads vs knobs? We’d love to help. Not all Electric ranges are made equally. Typically, though, the following are the common parts of a range that you should be mindful of when choosing one.
- Burners: Most kitchen ranges, Electric ones included, have at least four burners on the stove. Burners are the “hotspots” where you can set your pans to heat up for frying and your pots for boiling and simmering! Burners come in many sizes, but most stovetops include a small, two medium, and one large burner, so you can use one that fits your cooking utensils and purposes best. Each burner can be set to low-to-high temperatures depending on what you’re doing — melting or boiling. In some Electric ranges, burners can even be combined for when you’re cooking with longer pans and griddles.
- Burner covers: Burner covers vary depending on the type of kitchen range you get. Most kitchen ranges today have smooth tops, with the burners sitting under a layer of heat-resistant tempered glass or ceramic. However, some kitchen range stove tops have other cool burner covers like dishwasher-safe griddles or restaurant-inspired coils.
- Grate: Not all ranges have grates, but all Electric ranges at Rent-A-Center are great! Grates are usually griddle-like cast iron plates that sit on top of the burner to help evenly distribute heat from a flame. Usually, only electric kitchen ranges have these, while gas ranges have smooth, ceramic plates in their place.
- Controls: All Electric ranges have controls, which help you “set” the temperature and timer for your oven, stovetop burners and other range features. Some Electric ranges have dials as their controls while others have buttons or knobs. Usually, they’re located on one of the edges of the stovetop or on the front of the oven door.
Renting Electric Ranges
When shopping for a new range, whether you’re just browsing, needing a range now, or renting one for the time being, there are many options to consider before making a purchase. This is key if you’re looking at ranges online and can’t see the units for yourself.
First off, note that a range and a cooktop are two different things. A kitchen stove is usually described as a range. It’s one appliance that contains burners and an oven, rolled into one! It comes in handy if you like to bake sugar cookies and boil pasta simultaneously! Everyone loves baked goods and pasta!
You’ll also want to decide on the finish, brand, and how easy the inside and outside is to clean. Which range is right for your home? If you’re undecided, reach out. A Rent-A-Center associate is happy to help.
