Thanks to a broad spectrum of range-top heating levels, from 15,500BTU to 5000BTU, the Whirlpool WFG317LV's gas range offers power and control, whether you're searing meats or melting chocolate. The spacious, 5.0 cu. ft. oven compartment uses an AccuBake temperature management system to serve up evenly cooked and brown foods, while a self-cleaning function takes all the hassle out of cleaning up spills in the oven.

Power and control, from Simmer to Sear

Certainly, if you're cooking up a multi-course marvel of gastronomy for guests, having a range top with a broad spectrum of available power levels is a powerful culinary tool. The same can be said, however, even if you're just cooking up a "one-pot" meal for the family. Let's say you're tossing together a pot of chili or a stew. To start things off, you're going to want a higher level of heat for browning and searing meats, but as soon as you've added the broth or sauce, you're going to want to jump down to a low-power simmer. The four gas stove-top burners offered by Whirlpool's WFG371LV range deliver just that: versatile cooking options. Look to two 15,000BTU Power Burners for that extra level of power when you need it most, as for searing meats or boiling pasta. Use the 9500BTU burner for more general dishes like pancakes or stir-fry, and then use the 5000BTU AccuSimmer burner for simmering sauces or melting chocolates. Further, a recessed cooktop helps contain any spills, while full-width, cast-iron grates provide a stable, sturdy cooking platform.

Get "even"

Even cooking and browning, that is. When it comes to baking, the key to evenly cooked meats and well-browned breads is simple: even distribution of heat. Many dual-element ovens use too high a concentration of heat from either the upper broil element or the lower bake element, scorching the bottom of foods or blackening the top or edges. Whirlpool's AccuBake system, however, changes all that. A sensor located in the WFG371LV's interior monitors oven temperature, alternating use of the bake or broil element to achieve uniform baking results.

Oh my gosh . . . it cleans itself?

The Whirlpool WFG371LV fights fire with fire. Spills and messes inside your oven are tough to clean because they get baked right onto the oven's interior. It's the heat of the oven that makes cleanup a hassle. Oddly enough, it's the heat of your WFG371LV's Self-Clean cycle that makes clean up a breeze, too. By generating extremely high temperatures within the oven compartment, the self-clean cycle effectively reduces any burnt-on spills into a powdery ash that can be easily wiped out once the cycle has ended.
