Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We needed to replace a 15 year old modular Kitchenaid cooktop with an itme that had about the same size cutout. We wanted a stainless steel deck and at least one high-output burner plus a simmer burner. The KitchenAid seemed to fit the bill the best. Advantages include a good layout with knobs in front with plenty of room btween the burners so that you can easily put a huge (e.g. 14") frypan on the center 20,000 BTU burner with room to spare. The burners themselves look like they are easy to clean and the ignition seems stable with the gas not flowing until there is a spark. The two front burners are plenty powerful for 12" pans. There is a lockout feature but it seems like a smart 5 year old could defeat it. The stainless surface has a clear coat which I hope is durable. We clean it with spray cleaner only and it looks great and hope for the best. The center burner is probably powerful enough for a wok if you have an adaptor. One minor annoyance is that they do not recommend copper or aluminum bottom pans as this mars the cast iron grates.
In this range, the only other cooktop that made sense was the Miele. Wolf and Viking seemed pretty standard and Gaggenau, though nice looking, was almost three times the price for a marginal performance increase.

Cook your family a whole meal on this gas cooktop. The full-width cast-iron grates provide a sturdy surface and allow for easy movement of pots and pans.
