Compare Best Gas Cooktops: Empava vs. Deli-Kit
 (Photo Credits: Empava)
A cooktop is a cooking appliance that is entirely set into a countertop with the controls built on top of the appliance.
There are both gas and electric cooktops, but because gas cooktops provide greater control over the cooking temperature, most professional and serious cooks typically prefer the gas cooktop. With a gas cooktop the flame is infinitely variable from low to high, and provides steady, continuous heat. Gas cooktops are equipped with control knobs and usually use an electronic ignition system that creates a spark when you turn any of the burner control knobs on, creating a blue flame. Once the flame is on, you can control the amount of heat produced by turning back and forth the control knob. This article will compare the best rated gas cooktops bought by Amazon customers. At the time of this writing, the best rated gas cooktops on Amazon were:
