Looking for the best gas cooktop?
Here are our top 5 picks to consider in 2019.
Hi this is John with Designer Appliances, New Jersey & New York’s premier interactive
appliance showroom where you can get a great deal and a hands on experience with our top
appliance picks.
So let’s get started.
First up is on our list is the Thermador SGSXP365TS.
Thermador is known for their distinctive star-shaped burner design, but that's not all this striking
cooktop has to offer.
The five-point design of the burners is made to reduce cold spots and maximize coverage
when cooking for total flame distribution, and it truly is an impressive difference.
But Thermador's cooktop also features an ExtraLow feature that provides an incredibly precise
and delicate simmering capability, cycling on and off at regular intervals to maintain
the perfect temperature without getting too hot.
The large metal knobs feature a blue illumination that adjusts to tell you whether the burner
is set to regular or ExtraLow setting, and the overall design features chiseled cooktop
edges for a distinctive all-around profile.
The center-mounted burner features 18,000 BTU of power, with continuous grates across
the surface for easy movement of pots and pans.
You'll also find automatic re-ignition, a push-to-turn knob system, and single-point
ignition that only ignites the burner being used at a given time for added safety.
Next for a technology focused option, consider the Samsung NA36N7755TS.
Samsung may be relatively new to the kitchen appliance market compared to some of its competitors,
but it has already staked its claim near the mountaintop when it comes to incredible designs
that are rich with modern features.
This Samsung gas cooktop features 5 burners, one of which is a high-powered output burner
for fast boiling and high sear temperatures.
It rates extremely highly for reliability and overall satisfaction from actual consumers,
and both its high-heat and low-heat capabilities are impressive.
It also offers continuous grate design, which means that there are no breaks in the grating
across the top of the cooktop surface.
Why does this matter?
It allows you to smoothly slide cookware on and off the surface without it getting caught
on any ridges.
Finally, it wouldn't be a Samsung product without WiFi connectivity, allowing you to
connect and control your cooktop with your smartphone of choice.
If you liked the Thermador option, but are looking for a more affordable version, check
out this cooktop from their sibling company the Bosch BenchmarkNGMP656UC.
Bosch is a name that's long been associated with high-end designs and quality appliances.
They've earned that reputation with years of quality and a dedication to producing visually
beautiful and all-around dependable appliances that get the job done with grace and style.
The Bosch Benchmark series is no exception.
This impressive model features 5 sealed and double-stacked burners which ensures easy
cleaning and powerful heating capacity.
The heavy-duty metal knobs are large and visually impressive, making adjusting your temperature
easy.
The cast iron grate is built to last, and it's all housed in a visually pleasing and
minimalist package that will be right at home in just about any style of decor.
Bosch consistently rates highly for reliability and overall build quality, and the Benchmark
series fits right in line with that storied lineage of quality.
If you're willing to spring for a premium gas cooktop, the Bosch Benchmark series is
among the absolute best money can buy.
Looking for high-end performance perfect for the serious home-chef, consider the BlueStar
RBCT365BSSV2NG
With a top burner power rating of 22,000 BTU, this BlueStar gas cooktop is a champion when
it comes to overall heating power.
But it's not just a muscular cooking machine—it's also capable of handling extremely low simmers
and a wide range of cooking tasks with its 130° minimum temperature.
It also boasts commercial-grade stainless steel construction plus heavy-duty knobs for
easy and dependable control.
Available in both 30" and 36" sizes, this Bluestar cooktop also features continuous
grates plus a one year factory warranty.
Is safety a concern?
Bluestar has included an automatic electronic ignition and re-ignition system so if the
fire burning goes out, the cooktop will automatically detect and reignite it.
Overall, Bluestar is known for reliable and fully-featured appliances, and this cooktop
is no different.
Looking for a visually distinctive design?
Consider the Wolf CG365PS.
Wolf is another respected brand in the world of gas cooktops and other appliances, and
this cooktop is the culmination of years of innovation in gas-powered cooking.
The 5 dual-stacked burners are perfect for handling a wide range of tasks, from the powerful
18,000 BTU max capacity down to minor simmers perfect for melting chocolate without burning
it.
Meanwhile, the easy-clean burner pan is designed without seams to make cleaning as straightforward
as possible without the dreaded grease build-up in cracks and crevices.
Wolf appliances are known for their intense product quality testing, resulting in extremely
high reliability ratings.
