| Hi all - I think I'm leaning fairly decisively toward a DCS all gas range for the price, infrared broiler, great racks, and overall reviews. My question is this: do we get the 5 burner + large griddle option, or the 6+griddle? DCS doesn't do an 8 burner.
5+griddle Pros/Cons: large central area for huge pots, larger griddle... BUT, if we don't love the griddle, we wasted a potential burner... Unless we can use this as a burner. Any feedback there? Also, how often do folks really use all 6 burners? If you have a central burner, can you use all 5, or is it central alone vs. the 4 peripheral? 6+griddle Pros: more burners, BUT potentially a too-small-to-be-useful griddle. I have searched like crazy, and can't find a ton of good stuff on 11" griddles being adequate or not... Advice appreciated. |

| I gather you're looking at the 48" range. I have a 30" range with just the 5-burner configuration. I like the range configuration a lot but to be honest I've never used all 5 burners at once. You can put pots on all 5 burners at once but if you put a wok or very large pot on the central burner you are limited to smaller pots on the side burners. I have used 2 woks at once by putting them on the 2 front burners. I don't have or really need a griddle - that's really a personal choice you'll have to make based on what you cook and how much of it. I'd probably go for the 6 burners and smaller griddle but it really depends if you think you would use a large griddle a lot. You can also buy a griddle pan to put over 2 of the burners if you want more griddle space. |
