Amana AER5630BAW vs Frigidaire Gallery FGGF3059TF

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.

The oven has the keep-warm function, allowing you to keep your food at the desired temperature without burning. This ensures the dish is still warm when you serve it.

The continuous, sturdy cast-iron grates stay in place when you jostle your cookware around. You can confidently just slide your heavy pots around instead of lifting them when transferring burners.

You can choose between two self-cleaning modes: high-heat and steam-and-wipe. These eliminate painstakingly scrubbing caked-on food debris with your own hands. The heat and steam soften the dirt inside the oven and all you have to do is wipe it clean with a wet cloth.

This oven has a temperature probe, a tiny steel pick that monitors the temperature of the inside of the meat. Your oven alarms when the meat reaches your pre-inputted desired temperature. This feature ensures your meat's insides are perfectly cooked without burning your meat's skin.

The FGGF3059TF is a classic-looking stove. It comes in black and gray smudge-proof stainless steel. The burner grates are made of cast-iron, resistant to wear and tear brought by daily use. The 5 burner controls have a smooth feel and precision as you turn them. The laminated touchpad feels firm to the touch and not squishy like the other models' keypads. Its sleek, uncluttered design and intuitive controls make it among the most polished among its price range.
