232000608

Kick your cooking up a notch with the JB640SR. This stainless beauty sports a large window to a large oven cavity, a 12-inch, 3000W dual element, and a self-cleaning oven. In other words, it's what you need to take your culinary activities to the next level.

Not just big . . . BIG. The 12" element

The hour is finally here. It's time to unveil that extra-large stockpot or sauté pan that you've kept tucked away in the pantry, patiently awaiting this day. And what makes today the day? How about the super-large 12" surface element designed into your new GE JB640SRSS electric range. With all 3000W of this element's power, you'll be boiling a pot of lobster, simmering a pan of paella, or conjuring up a pot of mole with authority. Of course, if you don't need quite that much size for your current culinary project, the burner is a dual-design so it doubles as a 9" burner. As for the JB640SRSS's other elements, variety is the name of the game. One 8", 2000W element and two 6", 1500W elements combine to bring you the cooking-power and element-size versatility and performance you need to tackle any dish.

Success with dual-element bake

What's the secret to successful baking at home? Even heat. Period. Many standard oven element configurations rely primarily upon direct heat from the lower bake element to maintain the oven's temperature. This concentrated, localized heat source, however, can cause uneven heating, resulting in foods that aren't evenly cooked. The GE JB640SRSS, on the other hand, features dual-element bake. By alternating between the lower bake element and upper broil element during the baking cycle, dual-element bake helps you achieve even heating and successful baking.

Bring on the bird

Whether you're cooking a gigantic bird for the holidays, artisan breads for a casual meal with friends, or a big ol' pan of cookies, the JB640SRSS's 5.3 cu. ft. oven capacity serves up a spacious, versatile cooking space. The door's large hearth-style window gives you a clear view of all your goodies inside, helping you maintain the oven's temperature by minimizing the number of times you have to open the door.

Sure, if you're really bored, you can clean it by hand

Your new JB640SRSS 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 clean up a hassle. Oddly enough, it's the heat of your JB640SRSS'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.
