I'm not even remodeling a kitchen yet, live in another part of the country, and I have to say: Steve, you and your team have created some of the most interesting and informative videos about appliances. Keep it up.
I completely agree! I’m in the same situation - central Oklahoma & haven’t started building the house, yet, BUT their videos have been extremely helpful!!!
Even if you bake you may prefer a gas range to a dual fuel. Big heavy pro ranges take longer to preheat than conventional ranges because of their thermal mass, and according to wolf a 20-30 minute preheat time is considered normal with a 30 amp dual fuel range. Also if you’re going to put in an outdoor kitchen in the future, don’t get a range with a grill because you will NEVER use it. Get the griddle or more burners.
Hi. Can you talk about or do a video about natural gas lines and the volume of gas to be provided, in cubic feet per hour needed for professional ranges. I live in a high rise apartment in NYC and individual outlets to gas ranges shall not be less than 3/4 inches (19 mm) NPS. It doesn’t make sense to purchase a professional range and don’t have the power to run it. Also for duel ranges do they run off 110v or 220v?
Sir, I really wish your staff were even 1/2 as kind and Knowledgeable as you are. I just had a rotten experience last friday. I was very specific about what I wanted, told the person I was willing to wait and ready to spend all the money on the right stuff. I even asked if I could install an all gas(the way I cook) range and hood, to replace my current dual-fuel. I wanted to buy the whole suite (hood instead of microwave). he quoted me a bunch of stuff that didn't even match one part of what I needed. And he as rude. I was kind of shocked. I've bought from Yale before, have a Yale card, and got an email about a mystery sale, that no one would explain to me. So, no sale, and honestly, a very bad taste in my mouth.
Bought a house that came with a 48" pro range and now that the novely has worn off, I'm not a huge fan of it. Looks beautiful for sure, but it's rare that we use 3-4 burners, let alone 6, and we've yet to use the griddle. Nice to look at for sure but I dread the day we'll have to replace it...
Another great explainer, Steve. Question: Are dual fuel cooktops like the gas+induction from Fisher & Paykal (CGI905DNGTB4) less reliable than single fuel due to the complexity? Also looking at the Series 9 all-induction (CI905DTB4). I have no idea on F&P reliability for these cooktops.
@@YaleAppliance1 But it's not just about BTUs. its about how those BTUs are delivered. Also "Pro" ranges don't have 45 different bake modes or a bunch of wifi apps the tell you how to cook. they certainly arent' self cleaning
I would argue to say the only way to have an”pro” in your kitchen to for the actual person doing the cooking being a professional chef. We can cook on anything.
"Somebody's buying a dual fuel range..." sheepishly raises hand... That's me 😭 I roast and broil far more than bake and bought a dual fuel range. I wish I had gone all gas.
