Im still A believer in a gas oven, I don't know how the new ones compare,b ut to me the vintage ones are more even than the best electric, but I know im in the minority with that opinion! | ||

I like my vintage gas oven too. My mom has a gas convection oven (Frigidaire I think) and I suspect has never used that feature. | ||

The GE gas stove that I have is perhaps the best I have ever had the pleasure of using. Its true that in Convection Bake it does compensate for temps automatically. So if you punch in 350 for a temp it will shift it down to 325. The thing with Conv Bake is that the top broiler does not cycle on like it does in regular Bake mode. With mine the oven cycles the bottom burner, then the top like an electric oven does to add heat to the top to balance out the heating. Browning is quite nice I find.
The Convection fan will cycle on and off at low speed on Conv Bake. On Conv Roast the fan runs longer and faster to sear meats. My stove has the one oven and thats all I needed and I wanted to be able to get food out of it easily. In your stove I don't think I would care to have to get on my knees to open and unload the lower oven. And if one has back issues, you might be bent over but good trying to take something heavy out of it. The cooktop is very good to cook on and if you have not figured it out yet, the burners come out so it makes cleanup a breeze, much like a smooth top but with the igniters popping up for each burner. I wash my grates in the sink and they clean up easily. Nice stove! | ||

We don't have gas service here, but, I LOVE and WOULD MARRY AND FATHER ITS KIDS, my new GE range.. Its simlar to the JB750, but more of the rounded top.. I noticed GE is changing to the square look..
The range I have is the best I have used in terms of electric stoves go.. The tri ring front burner responds almost like a gas burner and everything cooks so quick.. Only burned 1 thing thus far... Oven is quick, even temped and nothing comes out not done Only dislike is the top is a tad harder to clean Sadly, I am afraid with GE being sold, there steller stoves will soon be gone and we will be stuck with crap cooking products I had an 06 Ge Profile electric Stove i've carted all over the place and it didn't fit here at all, so I had to use the 20 year old Frigidaire Gallery Slide in (YUCK).. After not having a clock or a readable display and relying on my GE Convection Microwave as my main oven for 2 years (and a Breville toaster oven as my second oven) I gave in and got the GE... Now I pray they let GE be and not make them cookie cutter crap | ||

That Griddle! Is VERY nice.....Have they improved the sealed burners to where they will turn down low enough to simmer, that was my main complaint with a new gas range... | ||

Hans The burners turn down low enough to keep a pot lukewarm. | ||
