Prepare large meals for your family or guests using this LG electric range, which features 5 cooktop elements and a 6.3 cu. ft. oven that allow you to cook various dishes simultaneously. Quickly cook recipes while ensuring food is evenly heated thanks to the True Convection system. In order to accommodate your busy schedule, you can preset the oven start time up to 12 hours in advance using the delay-bake feature.
Frankly, I didn't know what I was missing. My 13 year old range/oven needed to be replaced, and the options seemed endless. After carefully choosing the features that I thought were necessities like convection baking, glass-top cooking with fast burner heating, easy to clean options and the lower burner beneath the oven cavity, I found this oven/range to meet all of my needs and some things I didn't know I needed. I enjoy the flexibility of having 3 racks instead of only 2. I cooked three pans of cookies at one time, and they all came out perfectly browned. That would never have happened in my old oven!
In addition to baking so evenly that I don't need to use any 'tricks' to make the perfectly browned pastry, the ability to quickly clean spills without going through the your-house-is-on-fire smell of scorching, and the ability to heat a pan to boiling within 5 minutes for the first time in my life, this is the most adorable appliance I have ever owned. It's blue/purple inside!!!! And when the oven reaches the preheat temperature, the oven sings! The timer ending is not a boring beep, but a melody that has not yet annoyed me. It isn't very loud and I am capable of ignoring it for a while, but it keeps continuing and will ultimately get my attention.
After approximately one month of almost daily use, I have had only one negative experience (and the oven came with a built-in solution) - it holds on to the odors of smelly foods unless I clean it immediately. One of the first items that I baked was an oily fish, and I remember that it looked like some of it had splattered. Sure enough, the next time I opened the oven, the smell of cooked fish took over the kitchen. However, this odor prompted me to use the newest-to-me feature, the easy clean cycle. I followed the instructions to prepare the oven, sprayed water, and wiped it out. Voila! Once again, the interior was the brilliant blue/purple and the smell of fish was foiled. The depth of the storage area under the stove is not quite enough room to store all of my ovenware, but that was an understandable sacrifice in order to move the burner under the oven floor.
It is very important to read the instructions, as it definitely doesn't heat up, bake or cook like my 13 year old range/oven did. The temperature settings are electronic, which has required some adjustment from me. There are many excellent settings that are preset that I haven't had a chance to try yet. Altogether, I highly recommend this oven/range and would buy it again.
