A FULL RANGE OF POWER YOU DON'T COOK SPAGHETTI THE SAME WAY YOU SAUTÉ MUSHROOMS. You don't want a sauce to boil when it's supposed to simmer. For best results, different foods should be cooked over differing levels of heat. That's why, on GE gas ranges, each burner has its own BTU rating. The high-output burner provides quick heat-up and boiling—faster than the “high-power” burners found on most gas ranges.

WE'VE PUT A NEW SPIN ON A GRATE TOP THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS THE STRIKING DESIGN. A bold, geometric pattern tops off this GE gas range, but there's more to the cooktop than its beauty. The big story here is convenience. The cast-iron platform, made up of two interlocking grates, provides a flat surface for cooking and meal preparation. To switch cookware from one burner to another, you don't have to lift the pans, perform a balancing act, and risk spilling the contents. Just slide the pans
