It's been about 3 weeks since she arrived, so I thought it was time to do my first test drive report. Believe when I tell you I'm still figuring everything out and everyday certainly is an adventure. There are new things I find out sometimes purely by accident that just put a smile : ) on my face.
- Fits-More™ Cook Top: With five elements including two Space Wise® Expandable elements and a Warming Zone so you can cook more at once.
- Symmetry Double Ovens: Two large ovens, each big enough to cook a 28-pound turkey, provide the flexibility to cook multiple dishes at the same time at different temperatures.
- Precision Set™ Controls: Adjust heat levels more precisely, providing exceptional temperature control. (I was excited that the controls were digital)
- Quick Preheat: Preheat in just four minutes. (This is one of my favorite features)
- Quick Boil: Boils Water Faster (Love this too)
- True Convection: Multi-rack baking is faster and more even with True Convection
This range also has a "lock" feature that I love. Not only is it a safety feature, but I can also lock the door as I bake something (very cool). I was so excited the day my new Symmetry Double Oven arrived that I totally forgot to take something out for dinner.
That is so not like me, but honestly all I had on my mind was this new stove getting here. I told myself I guess it can just be a chicken tenders kind of night. (Don't you have those kinds of days?)
In the lower oven, the chicken nuggets pad is preset for (Convection Bake) 400 F. With a bake time of 18 minutes, ending with an automatic keep warm setting. If needed a different target temperature or bake time can be preset or adjusted.
Speaking of Thanksgiving don't forget to visit Make Time for a Change where Jenifer Garner shares her top tips for turkey time. Check them out and Frigidaire will donate $1 and a turkey to Save the Children to help a family in need. Plus, you'll be entered for a chance to win the new range.
I am participating in a Test Drive Campaign through Frigidaire. I received a Frigidaire Gallery Range with Symmetry Double Ovens to keep and to facilitate me in my review. Opinions stated above are entirely my own. I would like to thank Food buzz and Frigidaire for choosing Mommy's Kitchen.

I think it has to do with the temperature flucuating. I don't use a canner, but a flat bottomed pot to can in a water bath. Now I am not sure if I should or should not attempt canning this year. I think I will contact frigidaire and find out. Thank you for bringing this issue up.

Canning can be on a smoothtop. We recommend that the canner not extend more than 1 inch beyond the element, that the total weight of the canner and contents not be more than 50 pounds, and that you allow the element to cool between batches.
I hope this helps.
You will love your double oven come the holidays. I have had one for 4 yrs now and love love love it! It is seriously the best thing in my kitchen (and I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer so that is saying a lot!)
Also, never had any problems with the smooth top. Just use the cleaner and your done!
Happy cooking!

This is large enough for a thanksgiving turkey?
