Parts of a Range to Know
Can't tell a burner from a grate? Touch pads vs knobs? We’d love to help. The truth is Whirlpool ranges can vary. Typically, 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: The majority of kitchen ranges, including Whirlpool ranges, have four or more burners on the stovetop. Burners are the round spots where you set your frying pan or stock pot to heat up or boil. Wider burners are better for wider pots, and smaller burners are great for saucepans and kettles. Each burner can be adjusted for low-, medium-, or high-heat, and some can even be combined to cook with larger pans like woks and pancake 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: 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: Every range has controls, including Whirlpool ranges from Rent-A-Center. Controls help you turn the heat up or down on the burners, preheat the oven, and turn the oven light or overhead fan on and off! Different ranges have different controls, usually located to the side of the stovetop or on the oven door. ranges can have different types of controls, including knobs, buttons, and dials, to name a few.
