Electric Cooktops

Electric Stove Tops and Cooktops

The safety of electric stovetops has significantly improved over the years. For one thing, on newer models, the heating coils sit under glass so they are not exposed to the touch. This makes it easy to slide pots and pans from one burner to the next without having to lift them. Electric stove tops are also very energy efficient and fit in seamlessly with any kitchen decor. They are convenient and easy to use too, and thanks to ceramic glass covers, cleaning is a cinch. Abt has many options from top manufacturers such as JennAir, Bosch, GE, Amana, Bertazzoni, KitchenAid, and more. We can help you find the right one for your kitchen and your budget.

Features of Electric Stovetops

There are many things to think about when choosing an electric stovetop. Space, efficiency, price, and your cooking habits are all considerations. Also, how easy is it to clean and maintain? A big reason why customers love electric cooktops is because of their versatility. You can work with your existing kitchen space to create your ideal setup. They also pair great with wall ovens which you can install along with cabinetry. This saves a lot of space under the countertop.

With electric cooktops, every piece of cookware finds a perfect fit with multiple cooking zones and heating elements. A hot surface light indicator lets you know when the cooktop is hot to the touch and the removable knobs on some models are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. One thing to keep in mind, if your cooktop does not feature a downdraft exhaust, you'll need a range hood to remove smoke and odors. Our appliance experts can advise you on the right type.

They say a watched pot never boils, but it sure boils faster with electric stove tops. They look great too and are sure to enhance the look of your kitchen by giving it a modern look.
