You don't have to be a master in the kitchen to appreciate the appeal of a gas stove. Not only do they allow you to have precise control over the flame, but they also quickly heat up and cool down. In comparison to electric options, gas ranges heat your dishes more evenly, which is a win for cooks of all skill levels. Plus, they're emergency-friendly; if the power goes out, with the help of a match, you'll still be able to cook on the stove.
These appliances can be pricey, though. And you may have to make an investment even before bringing one home. If your kitchen isn't already equipped with a gas line, you'll have to get one installed first. We think the price is usually worth it, however, so we compiled eight of the best gas stoves on the market. As an added bonus, all of them are under $5,000.

This gas stove is equipped with Samsung's True Dual Power Burner, which features two independent heating elements with power ranging from 700 BTUs to 18,000 BTUs. It allows you to go from a rapid boil to a true simmer in no time at all. We also love the oval-shaped burner that's a better fit for oversized pots and pans. Even more impressively, this gas range comes with a reversible cast iron griddle, so you can cook up a breakfast feast or a stack of grilled cheese sandwiches in no time.
This appliance has a large, continuous cooking surface that's super convenient for moving pots from burner to burner. Our favorite feature might be the double oven below the range, though. And it's perfect for a romantic dinner in. With the help of the GE Appliances kitchen app, you can conveniently preheat and monitor your oven from anywhere.
Feel like a real chef with this ZLINE gas stove that combines professional functionality with fun aesthetics. Choose a color that best fits your kitchen's vibe (you can choose between red, white, or blue and black).

No frills necessary. This Whirlpool gas stove does everything you need it to and comes at a price you'll appreciate. The five burners produce various amounts of BTUs — one with 5,000 BTUs, one with 8,000 BTUs, one with 9,500 BTUs, and two with 15,000 BTUs. The variety allows you to cook big feasts with ease or just boil water for mac and cheese.
The six open burners on this restaurant-style BlueStar gas range will make you feel and look professional in the kitchen. Moreover, the extra large convection oven can accommodate a commercial baking sheet, meaning more cookies for everyone. As an added bonus, BlueStar is an American company; they've been handcrafting goods in Pennsylvania since 1880.
Bosch products have long been known for their top quality, both in design and function. And this gas stove is no exception. It has five sealed burners (with a top output of 18,000 BTUs), convection capability, and a self-cleaning function. Our favorite perk though? The pizza setting.
