We did notice a few burnt bits here and there, but generally, the fries were all cooked through and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The JGB735SPSS bucked this trend with an air fryer mode that did a pretty good job of cooking a batch of french fries. In our tests of ranges across the board, we often find that the standard bake setting does a far better job of air frying food than the built-in dedicated setting. Love them or hate them, air fryer modes in ovens are here to stay, so it’s always a pleasant surprise when they exceed our expectations. The cookies cooked on the bottom rack were noticeably darker than those on the upper rack. We baked two batches of cookies using the upper and lower racks. The convection setting had some issues, however. The standard bake setting resulted in perfectly even cookies. The only issue we noticed was that the bottom of the crust on the left was very dark, so you may need to rotate your food midway for a perfectly even bake.įinally, we baked a few batches of cookies using the standard and convection oven modes. At the end of the test, the pizza dough was cooked all the way through. We also baked a pizza using the standard bake setting. We roasted a large cut of pork in the oven, which emerged evenly cooked on the inside and nicely browned on the outside. The range did well in our cookie, pizza, and pork tests. Bakers will love this even ovenĭuring our testing sessions, the JGB735SPSS didn’t only preheat quickly, it also impressed when it came to baking and roasting. That’s incredibly fast to the annoyance of our top-rated gas range, the Samsung NX58K9500WG, which took 7 minutes to reach the same temperature.

Both the standard and convection bake settings took just over 6 minutes to reach 350☏. The preheat is fast (even by gas standards) Along with four gas burners, the range has a center griddle burner.
