Premium Cooktops

Cooktops, also known as stovetops or cookers, are appliances used for cooking food using heat from gas or electricity. Cooktops can be installed in countertops or in freestanding ranges that include both a cooktop and an oven.

Gas cooktops use natural gas or propane to heat burners that are located on the cooktop surface. The heat from the burner is controlled by a knob, which adjusts the flow of gas to the burner. Gas cooktops are popular for their precise temperature control and instant heat response.

Electric cooktops use electricity to heat coils or ceramic glass elements located on the cooktop surface. The heat is controlled by knobs that adjust the temperature of the heating elements. Electric cooktops are available in both smooth-top and coil versions.

Induction cooktops use magnetic fields to generate heat directly in the cookware, which means the cooktop itself does not get hot. Induction cooktops offer precise temperature control, energy efficiency, and faster cooking times than gas or electric cooktops.

When choosing a cooktop, it is important to consider factors such as size, fuel type, and features. Other factors to consider include cooking performance, ease of use, and maintenance requirements.

Overall, cooktops are essential appliances for cooking food and come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit every household’s needs. Whether you are looking for a gas, electric, or induction cooktop, there is a cooktop available to meet your needs.
