Each section is independently operated to deliver a premium cooking experience. In addition, GE Cafe ranges use True European convection technology to ensure exact temperatures and even baking. Some GE Cafe single oven ranges are extra-large to suit catering-sized cookware.

Commercial-Style

The pro-style GE Cafe ranges deliver superior performance, which is every home chef's dream. These oversized appliances have a larger variety of burners, including a griddle feature. The GE Cafe commercial-style ovens are available with single or double ovens and can be ordered in any of Cafe's trendy finishes.
