Available in both gas and electric, kitchen cooktops are independent from the oven cavity. They are designed to have an integrated look with kitchen countertops. A cooktop can be installed over a built-in wall oven or warming drawer, or simply on its own in a countertop or kitchen island. The design possibilities in your kitchen are almost endless!
Induction technology heats only the pan and its contents and offers energy efficiency by reducing wasted heat when compared to radiant and gas cooktops. Since there is not a traditional thermal heating element, the induction cooktop stays cooler than conventional radiant cooktops.
In addition to a sleek, modern appearance, the GE® smoothtop cooktop quality is backed by a strong warranty. The smoothtop cooktop is built to last. The cooktop material is not glass but a highly engineered "glass-ceramic" material. It is impact- and scratch-resistant. Impact-resistant quality is confirmed by UL tests.
Many cooks prefer a gas cooktop. Gas cooktops are legendary for their responsiveness, even heating and customized control.
A powerful three-speed exhaust system is built into these cooktops to pull smoke and vapor out of the kitchen. With a downdraft cooktop, an additional venting system or hood is not needed.
Coil burners provide consistent and even heat on the GE electric cooktop with a plug-in element that is removable for easy cleaning.
GE Profile™ and GE cooktops are available with a variety of burner types and configurations. Here are a few of our best!
Dual-Flame Stacked Burner (gas cooktops)
This unique design includes two burners stacked one on top of the other: a PowerBoil™ burner with 18,000 BTUs for accelerated boiling, paired with a precise simmer for gentle 140° simmering.
Precise Simmer Burner (gas cooktop)
When turned to the lowest setting, this burner delivers a low 140° temperature for sauces and delicate foods.
Simmer Option (electric cooktop)
Burners with this option maintain a 140° temperature, and "Simmer" is incorporated on the control graphics, making it easy to set the control.
12-inch, dual, and tri-ring elements (electric cooktops)
Multiple cooking areas in one accommodate various-sized pots or pans.
Melt and Simmer Options
Melt option is optimized for melting chocolate. Simmer is ideal for making delicate sauces or melting butter and will ensure a food-safe temperature of at least 140°F. The words "Melt" and "Simmer" are incorporated on the control graphics.
