1/1/2024 0 Comments Viking range with grill![]() ![]() The professional-style oven door handle matches the brushed stainless steel finish on the rest of the range, but is set into shiny handle brackets for a stylish look. If you find yourself longing for the salamanders you see in professional kitchens, this is the next best thing. One unique feature is a glass-enclosed infrared broiler, which got to 600✯ in well under four minutes-which makes it one of the best broilers we've ever seen. The Viking VDSC5304BSS sports a 4.7 cubic-foot oven, complete with a concealed 10-pass dual bake element, and an 8.5 inch convection fan. We think that takes away a lot of the utility of this rangetop. You’ve got one powerful burner with great temperature reach, but the supporting cast isn't quite up to the star player.īecause the PowerPlus is also great at boiling, you may find yourself in the position where you have to choose between boiling water and simmering a sauce. Rangetop One amazing burnerĪs rangetops go, this one is simple and functional, with a professional look and no extra frills. The Viking name is even on cookware, so you could-in theory-match your pots and pans to your range. If you’d like, you can also add a TruGlide Full Extension Rack, broiler pan and tray, and broiler pan rack to your oven. You can give the range a more built-in look with a curb-base front, or rear and side trim kits.Īdditional accessories include a bamboo cover, portable griddle, or wok grate to fit over your burners. Stainless steel backguards are also available-choose from an 8-inch high model or a 24-inch model with a high shelf for storage. The range we tested had a stainless steel finish, but-if you're willing to pay extra-you can also opt for a colored finish in Black, White, Apple Red, Graphite Gray, Cobalt Blue, or Burgundy. This Viking range may favor a pared-down look, but a slew of customizability options can change all that, if that’s what you’re looking for. Customizability Color options, backguards, and even cookware ![]() Unfortunately, the grates are so roughly textured that moving cookware around the cooking surface proves a bit of a challenge-we couldn’t help but feel that we were scratching our pots and pans just from moving them around the grates, and they're definitely harder to clean than grates with smooth finishes. The VDSC5304BSS’s four sealed gas burners are each covered by black grates that combine for a continuous surface-even the area between the burners has grates for resting pots and pans. The center of the rangetop has a resting space for your pots and pans. Weighted stainless steel-covered control knobs sit on the front of the range. If you opt for a color finish, it covers the body of the range below its front-mounted control knobs, while the control panel, backguard, and thick professional-style handle remain stainless. The 30-inch-wide, 29-inch-deep range comes with a sleek stainless finish, but those seeking a bolder look can opt for Black, White, Apple Red, Graphite Gray, Cobalt Blue, and Burgundy finishes. The Viking VDSC5304BSS boasts the sturdy, simple commercial look that the company's ranges are known for. Design Professional-style stainless, but with an option for color You'll have to decide whether the VDSC5304BSS's well-known brand name, three-year warranty, and good performance are worth your extra money. The Viking sells for north of $6,000-which is thousands more than pro-style competitors from Dacor and Bertazzoni. When we cooked with the oven, we also found a bit of mixed results: It was alright at baking cookies and cakes on standard settings, but convection helped it shine. In our hands-on scientific testing process, the rangetop's four powerful burners proved responsive and quick to bring water to a boil, but didn't offer a particularly impressive range of temperatures. The professional-style handle has shiny brackets. ![]()
