In the market for a new range? There are some very compelling reasons to opt for an electric range. One of them is obvious: they're more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly than gas ranges . The best electric ranges use smart features to cook more precisely and incorporate power-saving modes like quick preheat and self-cleaning. If you're truly serious about energy efficiency , look out for induction cooktops — these kinds of electric cooktops are so efficient, some of them are even ENERGY STAR certified .

Beyond energy efficiency, electric ranges tend to be easier to clean, as their surfaces are smooth and flat. In general, they tend to be more affordable than gas ranges, too. And many modern electric ranges are incredibly versatile, incorporating bonus features like air frying , convection cooking, and sous vide into one unit that cuts down on the need for additional countertop appliances . And, most topically, gas stoves in your home emit pollutants and can pose health risks — even when not in use.

All that said, here are five of the best electric cooktop/oven combos that cook quickly , evenly, and efficiently.
