Gas, radiant or induction?
Gas cooktops give you a visible flame and work with any pan, but need a gas line. Radiant electric cooktops heat elements under glass and also work with any flat-bottom pan. Induction cooktops heat the pan directly with a magnetic field, so they respond quickly, but the cookware must be magnetic. For cleaning tips, see how to clean an induction cooktop.
30 or 36 inches?
A 30" cooktop fits most standard counter cutouts. A 36" cooktop adds room between pots and usually a fifth burner or element. If you are replacing a cooktop, check the cutout dimensions in the installation guide so the new one fits the existing counter opening.
What to check before you order
Check the installation details on the product page before you order.
- Counter cutout width and depth.
- A gas line or the electrical supply listed on the product page.
- Space below the cooktop for a wall oven or drawers.
- Magnetic cookware for the induction models.
