Cooktops

Shop cooktops and rangetops from ZLINE, Thor Kitchen, Forno, and other leading brands. Cooktops install directly into your countertop with a separate wall oven below — giving you more flexible kitchen layouts and dedicated cooking zones. We carry gas, electric, and induction cooktops in 24-inch, 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch widths, plus pro-style rangetops that sit on your counter. Every cooktop ships free with full manufacturer warranty from an authorized dealer.

Gas Cooktops

Gas cooktops deliver the instant heat response and visual flame control that most cooks prefer. Our gas cooktop selection features sealed burners ranging from 9,000 to 20,000 BTU, continuous cast iron grates for easy pan sliding, and electronic ignition. ZLINE’s RC series gas cooktops are among our most popular — available in 30-inch (4 burner) and 36-inch (6 burner) configurations with brass burner heads and Italian-made components. LP conversion kits are included with most models.

Induction Cooktops

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat compatible cookware directly, offering the fastest boil times of any cooking technology. They’re also the safest option — the cooktop surface stays cool to the touch since only the pan heats up. Induction is ideal for families with young children, for kitchens where gas isn’t available, and for cooks who want precise temperature control down to the degree. Available in 30-inch and 36-inch built-in configurations.

Rangetops

Rangetops are professional-grade cooktops that sit on your counter rather than dropping into a cutout. They’re deeper and more powerful than standard cooktops, with higher BTU burners and heavier construction. Rangetops pair with a wall oven below for a pro-kitchen layout that separates your cooking and baking zones. Thor Kitchen and ZLINE both offer rangetops in 30-inch, 36-inch, and 48-inch widths.

Cooktops vs. Ranges: Which Should You Choose?

A freestanding range combines a cooktop and oven in one unit — simpler to install, more compact, and usually less expensive. A separate cooktop + wall oven setup gives you more layout flexibility, lets you install the oven at a comfortable height (no bending), and typically offers a more built-in custom look. The trade-off is higher total cost and more complex installation. If you’re doing a full kitchen renovation, the cooktop + wall oven combination is the premium choice. For replacements and budget renovations, a freestanding range is the way to go.

Choosing the Right Size

Cooktop size depends on your countertop cutout and cooking habits. 30-inch cooktops with 4 burners handle most home cooking needs. 36-inch models add a 5th or 6th burner for bigger families or frequent entertainers. 48-inch cooktops are for serious home chefs who want griddle stations, dual-ring power burners, and room to run multiple pots simultaneously. Always verify your existing cutout dimensions before ordering — cooktop cutouts are not standardized across brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do cooktops come with installation hardware?

Yes. All cooktops ship with mounting clips, cutout templates, and gas connectors (for gas models). You’ll need a qualified installer for the gas line connection and a licensed electrician for hardwired electric or induction models. Most installations take 1-2 hours if the cutout and utilities are already in place.

Can I use my existing cookware on an induction cooktop?

Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware — cast iron and magnetic stainless steel work perfectly. Aluminum, copper, and glass cookware will not heat on induction. Test your existing pans with a refrigerator magnet: if it sticks to the bottom, the pan is induction-compatible.

What’s the difference between a cooktop and a rangetop?

A cooktop drops into a counter cutout and sits flush with the surface. A rangetop sits on top of the counter with raised edges and deeper construction. Rangetops are heavier, more powerful, and styled like the top of a professional range. Cooktops are sleeker and integrate more seamlessly into modern kitchen designs.
