Price reductions in recent years have made the wide stainless steel ranges and stoves more popular. They used to be mostly imported from Europe but lately often come from Asia, where manufacturing costs are lower. Even the well know European brands are sourcing in Asia now, especially. Of course the good-old white enameled kitchen stove will always remain popular because of its price.
The wide stoves ranges are sometimes very wide at up to 1500 mm and often feature two ovens. The cook top of these wide appliances can give enormous space and provide a wide range of cooking options such wok stands, fish kettles, griddles, tepanyaki, etc. all in one package.
The wider stoves and ranges sit in their own space and require equally wide range hoods and splashbacks.
Free standing ranges and stoves sit in their own space between kitchen benchtops. Stone, granite and timber benchtops are particularly appropriate for a stylish range but laminate can work well also.
