That '70s stove: Back then, kitchens were cutting edge if they included an overhead microwave.

A safer flame: Modern surface burners not only pack a lot of Btus, many also reignite automatically if a breeze blows them out.

Full circle: The latest ranges come in an array of retro-chic colors, including the one that started it all, avocado green.

Dream come true: When This Old House asked the winner of the Dream Kitchen contest what she wanted, this was the answer: a six-burner pro-grade range and high-speed halogen wall oven.

Magnetic magic: With induction technology, the metal cooking vessel, not the burner itself, generates the heat.
