KitchenAid KSDB900ESS vs Amana AER5630BAW

This slide-in range has an eye-catching design which will look good in any kitchen. The classy stainless steel finish and the continuous grates on the cooktop contribute to this sleek appearance.

There are five burners on the rangetop, with each one working a bit differently. Different burners are suitable for boiling, rapid heating, simmering, and even melting. Great searing results can be achieved by using the powerful center burner.

Most range drawers are meant for storage or keeping food warm, but in this case, the drawer works like a small oven which you can bake with, slow cook, or just keep food warm. This allows for some multitasking, such as baking a dessert while the main dish is in the primary oven.

This range has several features that will help you make meals efficiently. It includes various racks, such as a gliding rack, a maximum capacity rack for large pieces of meat, and a steam rack. It also comes with a wireless probe that lets you check food temperature.

With a price tag below $800 and overall impressive features, this range is an excellent product when it comes to price-performance ratio.

The oven delivers very good baking performance despite not having any convection units or specialized modes. It takes only a short while for the oven to reach the desired temperature. Temperatures are distributed evenly throughout the cavity, preventing burned or undercooked items.

There are four heating elements on the rangetop, one of which is a double ring useful for both small and large pots. All of the elements can reach temperatures high enough for stir-frying and searing. Additionally, the elements can provide low temperatures, ideal for simmering and melting.

The range has a self-cleaning system, which heats up the cavity to extreme temperatures to burn off the debris. However, as this procedure imposes some stress onto the oven, it's not recommended to use it too frequently.
