Gas cooktops

A gas stovetop offers an instant, adjustable flame

While electric cooktops take time to reach your desired temperature when turned on, the open flame of a gas cooktop can be ignited and easily adjusted instantly. Those minutes you save spent standing at the stove can add up quickly, particularly if you cook several meals a day at home. 

This makes gas cooktops a favorite for busy households where the stove doesn't get much rest. Whether it's filling the house with the scent of pancakes in the morning, warming mac and cheese for your little one in the afternoon, or heating the kettle for the cup of tea you've been trying to make all day, a gas cooktop helps keep your family fueled! 

Go forth with measured expectations

In addition to getting the trusty tape measure out to know exactly how much space you’re working with, apply where you’re at as a home chef in your selection…

• If you cook lots of big, elaborate meals, consider treating yourself to a larger oven and the convenience of five burners instead of four.
• If this is an entirely new kitchen addition, installing a range hood is a must as well. You can go with one that connects to existing ductwork, or a range hood that uses charcoal filters to remove debris, grease and odors before recirculating air. The next decision will be if you need a natural gas or propane cooktop.
• Once you know exactly what you want and need, make sure you have enough clearance for your range hood overhead, the surrounding countertops, and your gas line behind. We then recommend having professionals do your install in accordance with local safety regulations.

Tips for keeping your gas cook top clean and looking its best

The smart features of today’s gas cooktops help make cooking more efficient and enjoyable, with sleek, modern designs that enhance both the function and look of your space. We understand that ease-of-cleaning is an important design feature in and of itself, and work to make our products as easy to maintain as possible. After all, no matter how beautiful a gas hob is, no one wants to spend all weekend scrubbing it!

• Cleanup is simple with easily removable grates over sealed burners that help prevent spills and debris from going where they shouldn’t.
• Getting an assist from your oven is also nice. Use the self-cleaning function to burn grease and debris to ash that you can easily wipe away with a paper towel. Need a deeper clean? You can program the oven to clean up its act for 2-4 hours. 
• When available, the steam clean function handles light messes in ~20 minutes while being chemical and odor free. 
• Surface considerations: our easy-to-clean black stainless steel cooktops are treated to repel fingerprints.
