Cooktops are units that fit into existing countertops, creating a cooking workspace separate from other units such as an oven or broiler. These units are available in either gas or electric models, yet features can vary. Gas units can have accessories like range tops for woks or grill surfaces. Electric models can come in contemporary ceramic styles in which the element is located underneath a glass top for a flat, modern look.
Care and cleaning of cooktops is the same as combination stoves, though special care must be given to flat cooktops to avoid scratching. Advantages of cooktops include additional workspace and storage. For larger kitchens that incorporate separate oven installation, cooktops are a necessity. With additional features such as flatiron or grill surfaces, cooktops offer a combination of versatility and style that makes them an attractive addition to any kitchen.
