Best Cooktops of 2023

There are plenty of reasons why a homeowner might choose a cooktop or rangetop over a full range. For spacing purposes, a cooktop might work better for the counter space, and you could fit in a wall oven in the cabinetry, or it may be an aesthetic choice. Nonetheless, cooktops are a very popular appliance, so our team of appliance experts has decided to rate a couple of our favorites.

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath has always offered high-quality appliances for just a fraction of the price. One of their retailers, The Range Hood Store, sells ZLINE appliances exclusively and at the best prices. Our favorite cooktops are all ZLINE branded, and are available for purchase at The Range Hood Store, here. There are three different variations of cooktops that you can choose from, including drop-ins, range tops, and induction cooktops.

Drop-Ins:

Drop-in cooktops are what most people envision when thinking about a cooktop. The ZLINE RC series cooktops come in two sizes: 30” and 36”. The 30” cooktop comes with four burners while the 36” comes with six. They also both come with the option to add brass burners as an accessory which is the perfect pop of color and provides more durability with everyday use. These amazing cooktops have cooking power ranging from 4,200 to 18,000 BTUs with Italian-crafted sealed burners. This stainless steel cooktop also comes equipped with a stainless steel surface and cast iron grates. These drop-ins also come with the option of black porcelain cooktops.

Range Tops:

Range tops are great because they give the feel of a full range but don't require the entire space. They are exactly what they sound like, essentially, it is the top of a range without the oven. ZLINE has an abundance of options for a range top, including ZLINE’s all-new Autograph Edition collection. This luxury collection includes stainless steel and DuraSnow® finish options with matte black accents and looks absolutely stunning. All range tops have three different finish options including stainless steel, black stainless steel, and DuraSnow®, and have the option for brass burners. The sizes for these range tops can range from 30”, 36”, and 48”.
