hi I'm Ashley Clark Thompson with CNET appliances and today I'm gonna be talking about the dacor renaissance RN r P 36 GS the design of the de corte is actually fairly simple there's no digital displays there's no time or clock display all you have are knobs and two buttons to control the convection fan and the oven light there's two glad racks that make it really easy to bake or roast heavy items like turkeys or roast beef there's also a wok ring if you cook with a walk a lot there's also a griddle that comes with the oven and some brass burner caps that are really cool to look at but I don't recommend cooking with them because they start to discolor as soon as you use the gas stove top there were some features though that I did not like about this oven first of all the boil toms weren't really as fast as I thought they would be for such a half Howard expensive oven now the broiler plate is located near the back of the oven so you have to push all the food that you're trying to broiled toward the back which feels a little unnatural since we've always been taught put your food in the middle of the oven also it cooked six burgers very very unevenly the first row that was closest to the infrared reuler plate was definitely overcooked while the burgers in the next row were a little bit underdone the knobs are really great and heavy and sturdy to use but it's a little difficult to see which knob goes to which burner because of the location of the little burner key on the actual stovetop this oven also has a tricky preheat light that I found really frustrating to use the light is supposed to flash on and off once your oven has reached preheat temperature but I found that the light would just turn off for about two minutes or so and then turn back on for two minutes or so it's a little confusing unless you're sitting by the oven watching this light and whether or not it's coming on and off now this steak or oven is really pretty to look at and it's definitely going to be a showpiece if you decide to include this your kitchen however the price is seven thousand one hundred and thirty dollars which is more than my car to be honest there are definitely gas ranges on the marketplace that deliver a comparable if not even better oven performance than this particular day core model I've definitely look into those before you decide to invest so much money into your range well more you can check out my full review on cnet.com for CNET appliances I'm Ashley Clark Thompson
