Get Smooth-Top Ranges
Is your kitchen range not working like it used to? In all likelihood, your Smooth-Top range is one of the appliances you use most often! Without it, you couldn't make your famous Thanksgiving turkey, 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 oven takes forever to heat up or just isn’t working like it did before. We’ll help you find a perfect Smooth-Top range that’s a newer, better version of your current one or upgrade to a more modern one altogether.
Don’t wait to ensure you’re renting the perfect range for all your meal-prepping needs. We'll walk you through all of the information you need to decide.
Parts of a Range to Know
Can’t tell grates from induction burners? Gas vs. electric? We’d love to help. Not all Smooth-Top ranges are made equally. Broadly, though, these are the key parts of a kitchen stove that you want to pay attention to when shopping for this major kitchen appliance.
- Burners: Most ranges, including Smooth-Top ranges, have four burners on the top of the stove. Your pot or pan sits on top of the burner to heat up. Larger burners distribute heat to larger pots, and smaller burners are great for making a single portion of a meal. The heat level on each burner can be individually adjusted. Some ranges give you the option of combining burners to cook larger meals.
- 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: A grate sits on top of the range to evenly distribute heat to the pan. Gas ranges have grates. Electric smooth-top ranges have ceramic-glass cooking surfaces that don't look like your typical grate at all, but they work to distribute heat in much the same way.
- Controls: All ranges have controls, including Smooth-Top ranges. The controls might be knobs, buttons, or dials. They're usually located in two places: above the stovetop and between the stovetop and oven.
Renting Smooth-Top Ranges
When you’re looking to replace your old range, whether you're buying, renting, or renting-to-own, there are a few more things you want to keep in mind. This is key if you're range shopping online and can’t see the appliances in person.
First, know that a cooktop and a range are not the same thing. A range is sometimes called a stove. It is one appliance that has both burners and an oven. It’s super useful if you like to bake snickerdoodles and make pasta simultaneously! Everyone loves baked goods and pasta!
You may also want to consider the range color, name-brand, and if it has all the stuff you need to make your family’s favorites! Which appliance is right for your kitchen setup? If you’re on the fence, drop us a line. The team at Rent-A-Center would love to help you.
