Help Choosing a Gas Cooktop
1. Sturdy Cast Iron Trivets
Cast iron trivets provide a great semi-commercial appearance. Cast iron trivets are designed to handle heavy pots and plans. Tough enough to handle the heaviest workloads, they're easily cleaned in soapy water.
2. Safety and Stability
Some cooktop trivets are more stable than others as the number of supporting feet may vary from 4 to 8 per burner. As a rule of thumb, the more feet - the better safety and stability offered when using small or rounded pots.
3. Stylish European Design
European appliances aren't merely designed to do the job, they're designed to be the finishing touch to your kitchen, increase the value of any property, and to entertain your guests. Intelligent, functional and aesthetically stunning designs are yours with all Prestige Appliances.
4. Child Safety
Flame Failure and a gas shut-out system is an essential safety feature, should the flame blow out for any reason, special thermal couplings fitted next to the burners immediately stop the flow of gas, preventing unwanted accidents.
5. Easyclean Design
One piece cooking hobs have fewer joins and therefore fewer grease traps for food and oils.
6. Greater Usable Space
Front control cooktops provide substantially more usable working space than similar sized cooktops with side controls, a must when benchtop space is limited or when using large pots and pans.
7. Removable Burner Assemblies
Make sure you look for gas burner assemblies that are easy to remove (this is essential when it comes to cleaning your cooktop). There are a lot of cooktops currently on the market that look great - but can be a nightmare to clean.
8. First Time Start Every Time
Auto ignition lights first time, every time. This easy one touch action frees up your second hand enabling you to safety stabilise large pots and pans.
9. Spill Catchment Areas
Many cooktops have a recessed area beneath the trivets designed to catch any spillage. These recessed areas are significantly reduce cleanup times should you have an accident spill.
