Incorporating two wall ovens into the space typically occupied by one, this GE Profile 30-inch wall oven saves space but still lets home chefs cook two dishes at two temperatures at the same time. With a 2.2-cubic-foot upper oven and a 2.8-cubic-foot convection lower oven, the single-double oven can hold a 22-pound turkey and two casserole dishes at once. And it's self-cleaning. GE Profile

Previously available in the U.S. only on cooktops, induction technology now has spread to ranges. The 30-inch slide-in and freestanding induction ranges from Kenmore Elite use electricity to create a magnetic field that heats your pots and pans rather than the stove's four burners. AirGuard technology traps cooking odors from the large 5.8-cubic-foot convection oven. Last but not least: a warming drawer. Kenmore Elite

A taller interior design gives this dishwasher drawer plenty of space for larger dishes while maintaining a sleek design. The larger top drawer fits plates up to 13 inches in diameter, while the smaller bottom drawer fits petite loads like wine glasses or coffee cups. With a customizable racking system and the freedom to run just one drawer or both at the same time, the Tall DishDrawer makes cleaning up a breeze. Fisher & Paykel

An extremely common type of range style, freestanding ranges are paneled on each side and can be placed in between cabinets, at the end of a counter, by themselves, or next to other appliances. They will usually have a bottom drawer for storage, or in some instances, a broiler compartment.

Freestanding ranges are usually cheaper than comparable slide-ins or drop-ins and also have more available sizes and features.

Drop-in ranges provide the most integrated look of any range style. They are dropped into a space between cabinetry, and a panel that matches the cabinets goes across the bottom area of the range. Drop-in ranges typically do not have a bottom drawer for pots and pans (this is the main difference between a drop-in and a slide-in range.

A drop-in range can be used in kitchens where space is limited and a more traditional range could be cumbersome. Drop-in ranges can be slimmer than standard ranges and fit in smaller and tighter spaces.

Convection ovens use a fan placed in the oven cavity to spread heat evenly and quickly while baking. Ovens that do have a convection fan can also be used in standard baking mode, where heat spreads in a natural way. Both gas and electric ranges are available with convection fans.

Griddles are a flat cooking surface typically made from steel or cast iron. Items like eggs, pancakes or sandwiches are placed directly on the griddle, as the flat surface allows them to be easily lifted with a spatula. Griddles look similar to French tops, but the main difference is that griddles provide a constant heat over the entire surface, while French tops are the hottest at the center and provide less heat on the sides.

Seasoning & cleaning: Much like a cast iron frying pan, griddles need to be seasoned with cooking oils before use. Seasoning your griddle keeps food from sticking on it, helps give food extra flavor, and most importantly, fights corrosion and rust. Your range manufacturer should have instructions for the best way to season the griddle.

Griddles can usually be cleaned with warm water after each use (you might want to add a little more cooking oil after each cleaning). When you do want to do a complete clean and remove old seasoning, use white vinegar or club soda. For best results, follow the instructions from your range manufacturer.
