Thankfully, there are plenty of great features on any cooktop you choose, but the question – same as it’s ever been – remains ‘gas or electric’? While any serious foodie will tell you that a gas cooktop is the way to go, but there are still plenty of reasons to consider an electric cooktop when you design or remodel your kitchen.
-
Easy To Clean – Most electric cooktops, especially the newer ceramic models, are easier to clean that clunky, grated gas models. For the cook in a hurry, cleaning up fast is just as important as boiling water quickly – maybe even moreso!
-
Attractive – Because those ceramic cooktops are available in a wide range of surface colors, they can match virtually any kitchen design. Not only that, but they glossy finish is a gorgeous addition to any kitchen.

Easy To Use – Gas burners boast huge heat outputs and ultra-precise control, but if you’re not a professional chef, you might end up burning your food without even trying. For the occasional cook, electric is a perfect set-it-and-forget-it option that doesn’t need constant micromanagement, and models with dual burners like this Amana 30” Smoothtop can provide extra heat.

Safe – Because electric cooktops don’t use an open flame, they’re a safer alternative for households with small children.
