Shop 36-Inch Induction RangeBenefits of Induction Cooking for Serious Cooks
There are several benefits of investing in an induction stove over gas and electric options.
Induction is the most efficient option because it directly heats your pots and pans rather than creating a general hot surface to cook over.
This also means induction is safer because the cooktop stays cool – which is ideal for protecting your small children.
The nature of induction means it is also precise. Nothing is wasted and all of the energy created goes toward preparing your food. You can adjust the heat levels quickly and immediately bring them down when you need to.
Induction has become popular amongst serious home cooks who need to prepare meals over specific temperatures.
They offer more finesse and serve as a dedicated cooking partner to support your meal preparation efforts.

Why Choose a 36-Inch Range for Your Kitchen?
Once you know that you want an induction range, you can move on to choose the right size appliance for your kitchen.
Most homeowners choose between a 30” vs. 36” range for their homes, but range sizes can reach up to 66 inches.
The extra space on a 36” induction range can make a big difference, especially when you are multitasking ahead of a big meal. You can easily place multiple pots and pans on the stove and manage different heat levels at the same time.
A 36” electric induction range is also ideal if you use large pots and cookware. You can rest your baking sheet on the stove without worrying about it spilling over or boil a large pot of soup.
Your range could protect your countertops and promote safety by keeping hot cookware contained in one area.
Consider a 36” induction range if you frequently entertain guests and want enough room to cook without cluttering your kitchen.

Freestanding vs. Slide-In 36-Inch Induction Ranges: Which Is Right for You?
The final choice when buying cooking appliances is whether you want a 36” slide-in range or a freestanding model.
A freestanding range offers more flexibility in placement, which means you can install it at the end of your countertops. A slide-in range is designed to be placed between your cabinets, and the sides will never be exposed.
Evaluate your kitchen layout to see if your 36-inch induction stove should be slid into the space or if you can buy a freestanding model.
Know that the placement of the knobs is also different for both options – slide-in knobs tend to be placed at the front of the range.
The choice you make can determine how your range feels in your kitchen.
30-Inch vs. 36-Inch Induction Range: Is Bigger Always Better?
Many people love the idea of adding a 36-inch range to their homes, but you need to make sure the stove can fit in your space.
If you have a smaller kitchen, you might not want to install a larger cooking appliance. Additionally, if you rarely cook or entertain guests, you might not want to pay more for the roomier stove.
Know that if you are upgrading from a 30-inch range to a 36-inch model, you may need to adjust the surrounding cabinets so the appliance can fit. This can reduce your storage space and make the appliance replacement process more complex.
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to range sizes. Some people need a larger range, while others prefer the smaller options. Do what is best for you, your family, and your kitchen design.
