Although outdoor pizza oven offer impressive instant heat control, others aren't as safe. We do not test or recommend any gas cooktop that doesn't have a flame failure safety feature.

The number of Burners

Some cooktops are equipped with just one heating zone or burner Some are fitted with up to five burners. Determine how many burners your cooktop needs in accordance with the requirements of your family.

Type Burner

Wok burners feature a fast flow, and are ideal for cooking stir-fries and rapid boiling as they heat up faster than a larger burner. They're ideal for large frypans, large stockpots and round-bottomed woks.

Large burners are ideal for cooking, baking as well as boiling potatoes. They're ideal for larger non-stick frypans and saucepans. If cooking with nonstick cookware beware of high temperatures.

Medium burners are a good choice to cook food that requires rapid response to temperature changes, such as rice or simmering soups. The ingredients have to first be heated up to high temperatures before being lowered to the point of simmering.

Simmer burners are suitable for delicate ingredients like making sauces, melting butter, and chocolate. They are best suited for smaller frypans and saucepans.

Layout of the burners

You need to consider the layout and position of the burners and their size about the pots and pans you'll use. You can cook in multiple pots at once using burners that are placed so that you don't need to reach over one to reach another. There's a wide range of medium, large, and simmer sizes. Simmer burners are located at the front so they don't require you to lean over other burners when stirring a sauce. Medium burners positioned towards the back are ideal for cooking food for a long period that doesn't require constant stirring. A wok burner is best placed on the sides by itself or in the center for easy and constant stirring. It's an Oblong-shaped burner is great if you wish to cook on a grill or hotplate for grilling.

Cooking Power & Range

When making your choice it shouldn't come as a unexpected that the capability of the cooktop to cook efficiently should be a top priority. The power of cooking is measured by BTUs, which is a measure which determines the amount of energy output a burner is able to manage. Certain residential stoves can have a maximum power of 10,000 BTU. But strength isn't everything--your cook top's burners should be able to manage very small outputs, too. How else are you going to ensure that you get that perfect simmer or carefully melt chocolate, without burning it to a point that you can't recognize? The 36 inch gas cooktop feature a range of burner power, starting from the most efficient boiling burner to the daintiest simmer burner. Certain cooktops feature distinct burners for various duties. Others feature burners that are able to handle the heat from high to low.

Trivets

Trivets or pan supports should be stable and flat on the stovetop. Rubber feet won't scratch the cooktop or cause it to move and are more stable. Trivets with small gaps allow you to move pans around the stove without lifting them. Trivets made of cast iron are heavy and bulky. However, enamel trivets are easier to manage. Trivets made of stainless steel can stain easily, so be careful when using them. Some cooktops have a trivet on each burner. You can't slide pots through them range but they're lighter to lift and fit in your kitchen sink with ease.

Labels&Controls

It is not recommended to use bonding to make labels. Bonded labels can be removed from the surface using harsh cleaning agents. However the etched labels will remain and won't fade. The knobs for control should be in good shape and preferably with a crossbar, to make them easy to hold and also have a sharp indication. Controls shouldn't be positioned too close to the burners or trivets.
