Get to Know the KitchenAid Brand
KitchenAid manufactures both major appliances and countertop appliances. It is known for its high-quality stand mixers which are popular with bakers across the world. Since debuting its first product (a stand mixer) in 1918 in Troy, Ohio, KitchenAid has expanded into other home appliances and sells its cookware globally.
Besides cooktops, KitchenAid manufactures and sells wall ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, microwaves, and more. It is a versatile brand, and if you enjoy one KitchenAid appliance you will likely seek out others. KitchenAid is part of the Whirlpool Corporation.
Along with Whirlpool, the sister brands of KitchenAid include Maytag and Everydrop. Some appliances are still manufactured in Ohio to this day, while other items are assembled across the United States, Canada, and China. Most KitchenAid appliances are sold in North America.
Top KitchenAid Cooktop Models
You can find a KitchenAid cooktop that accommodates your home size and cooking needs. Here are a few options to choose from for both small and large kitchens. You can also see how gas cooktops compare to induction models.
1. KitchenAid® 30'' Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
The first step when shopping for a KitchenAid cooktop is to make sure you have the right size. Smaller kitchens might require cooktops that aren’t as long, so measure twice before you purchase a new set of burners. This model is 30 inches wide but still has five burners for you to cook on. These burners come in a variety of sizes, so you can melt garlic butter in a saucepan for shrimp or boil a cauldron of water for a spaghetti dinner.
This model comes with a CookShield Finish that protects your cooktop from stains. Once you are done cooking, you can easily wipe away any spilled sauces or grease that splashed out of the pan. Your cooktop will remain clean and look like new as long as you regularly wipe it down.
The largest cooking surface is the 17,000 BTU Dual Ring Burner and the smallest option is the 6,000 BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner. Customer reviews for this cooktop are overwhelmingly positive and buyers highlight how easy it is to control the temperatures on a gas cooktop.
2. KitchenAid® 36'' Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
The next size up is a KitchenAid 36-inch gas cooktop, which provides a larger cooking surface for your home. This model comes with five burners and controls at the front of the cooktop. This is an accessibility feature and allows home cooks to adjust the burner levels without having to reach over the gas or the hot pans with simmering food.
Each of the burners on this cooktop comes with a full-width cast-iron grate. These grates can support heavy pots and pans while keeping them balanced over the heat. They are easy to remove and wipe down when it’s time to clean your stovetop and you can easily access the stainless steel finish underneath. The cast iron can also complement other aspects of your house if you choose to decorate your space with metal or other dramatic colors and accessories.
The largest burner for this KitchenAid cooktop is 19,000 BTU, with the smallest being a 5,000 BTU Even-Heat™ Simmer Burner. This gives you the flexibility you need to create an array of dishes. You can read customer reviews to learn why so many people love this appliance in their homes.
3. KitchenAid® 36'' Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop
This is another option if you need a 36-inch model but want added elements of luxury to your kitchen. It comes with five burners but provides extra power for the largest option. You can power up your 20,000 BTU Dual Ring Burner to quickly boil water or keep a large pot hot. This is an optional cooktop if you are making soup for a large family dinner or setting up an indoor crawfish boil in your home.
This KitchenAid gas cooktop comes with all of the features that you expect from this brand. Customers can enjoy the multi-finish knobs and the scratch-resistant CookShield Finish for years, keeping their cooktop looking shiny and new – no matter how often it is used. The full-width cast-iron grates are easy to keep clean and remove from the cooktop when you need to wipe down the stove.
Most customers have positive things to say about this cooktop. One reviewer even said they roasted marshmallows on this cooktop because they couldn’t do it with an electric stove.
4. KitchenAid® 32" Stainless Steel Frame Electric Induction Cooktop
Want a gas cooktop but don't have access? Induction is the way to go! Cooktops that use electricity can be just as effective at cooking food and are ideal for homes in Arizona that don’t have gas options. This particular option can fit a 32-inch wide space and provides five cooking surfaces to choose from.
This is an ADA Compliant cooktop because the burners can be accessed through digital controls at the front of the stove. Customers don’t have to reach across hot burners in order to adjust the heat. This cooktop also comes with child locks, so you don’t have to worry about curious hands accidentally turning on burners. The cooking surface is glass and comes in a sleek design that can seamlessly blend in with your countertops.

5. KitchenAid® 36" Black Electric Induction Cooktop
If you want a larger model in your home, consider this 36-inch option. KitchenAid induction cooktops come with many of the same features with only their sizes changing. This means you can guarantee the same KitchenAid quality no matter what cooktop you choose.
This model has five cooking zones and digital control at the front of the stove. This makes the appliance easy to use and a popular choice for customers. The finish is black and the cooktop is glass, which means this stove will complement most design styles. Whether you base your kitchen design on neutral colors or use the cooktop to offset bright paint, this stove will be a positive addition to your home.

FAQ
What is a dual-stacked burner?
Dual-stacked burners can be found in gas cooktops. Like the name sounds, two burners are stacked on top of each other. This allows cooks to use the smaller burner for lighter heating, like melting butter, while using the larger burner for searing and creating hot surfaces.
What is better: gas or induction cooktops?
Most people are split on whether gas or induction cooktops are better. Some people favor gas because they have more control over the heat and can adjust it immediately. Other people believe electric cooktops are safer and easier to use. First, check which hookup options you have. If you can choose, test different burner types to see which ones you like.
