Burner Temperatureįor products with burners, we measure the maximum and minimum temperature of each burner to help consumers identify which burners are ideal for simmering soup, and which burner can get hot enough to properly sear a steak. That means we can tell you which products will perform the best, will give you the most bang for your buck, or have the sleekest looks. Not only do we perform repeatable, lab-based tests on ovens, ranges, and cooktops, but we also do real-world evaluations (think: cookie baking and the like). That said, this is still the best electric range we’ve tested. The only small downside we could find to this range was the uneven doneness of cookies when we tested True Convection mode in the bottom oven.

Regardless of the finish, we like the look of this range in particular because of the ultra-sleek smooth cooktop. It's available in stainless steel, black, and white finishes, so it’s designed to match most kitchens. You won’t find an air fry setting, but True Convection mode will produce the same deliciously crispy results. This range is chock-full of features, including Frozen Bake, Rapid Preheat, and Sabbath Mode.

In particular, we loved having the option to bake two dishes at different temperatures simultaneously and fit at least four pots on the cooktop at once. Its ability to multitask sets it apart from other ranges. It passed every test we threw at it with flying colors, from boiling water to baking pizza. The Whirlpool WGE745C0FS electric range is a knockout across the board.
