We're planning a large-scale kitchen renovation and I'm looking for a gas range that can fit a flat-bottomed 14" wok next to a large stock pot or dutch oven on the adjacent burner. Do I need a 36" range, or is 30" fine?
Right now I'm in a rental with a builder-grade electric range, which measures 29" across and is right next to the fridge (a "wall" on one side of the large front burner). I can fit my wok on the stove, barely, but then I can only use a small saucepan next to it. Not sure if this is a problem with the unfortunate fridge placement or with 30" ranges in general. This is a large-scale renovation, so if I need to design cabinets around a wider range, I'd rather do it now rather than 10 years from now. But I'm also wary of falling into the useless-upgrade trap.
I don't need a built-in wok ring or anything fancy like that. my flat-bottom carbon steel wok is just fine, no plans to switch to round-bottom any time soon.
Note: Regardless of range size, I'll be installing a high-powered range hood. Even my mother, who is in the habit of stir-frying on electric using nonstick saute pans (and makes delicious food despite breaking all the rules of stir-fry!), produces so much smoke and oil from high-heat Asian cooking that our house growing up had an upgraded range hood decades before they got around to redoing the rest of the kitchen. |
