While I picked these 3 cooktops, they are not in any specific order, they’re just three awesome cooktops that anyone doing a kitchen renovation or update should take a look at. Each cooktop offers its own benefits, and to me, they are 3 unique cooktops that serve many functions, but overall are the best in their appliance category.

Al’s Favorite High-End Cooktop Range Picks

Monogram Gas Cooktop

Model # ZGU36ESLSS

This cooktop is my top pick right now for a high-end unit that cooks as well as it looks. Monogram really did a nice job here, I have sold many of these, and the response from real customers in real-world environments has been nothing short of spectacular!

From the high output burners to the low and precise simmer and everything in between. It has excellent heat control. Bluetooth connectivity with their line of hoods, Wifi controllable via the app, included griddle, digital kitchen timer (which is always a simple but effective feature) for a full list of features see below. But I can tell you this cooktop has it all and is a great choice. If you’re looking to replace your cooktop, or you’re or doing a new kitchen, don’t overlook this Monogram cooktop!

Wolf Gas Cooktop

Model# CG365PS

Wolf has always had a name synonymous with hi-end cooking appliances. The CG365PS gets a top pick from me due to its effectiveness to be a trouble-free unit year after year with a smart layout of the offset burner. The dual-stacked burners can go from an ultra-low simmer to 18,000 BTUs. You can see the full specs below. The red knobs, of course, stand out. I can’t help but laugh at how many customers buy this unit just for that feature alone! They also come in black or stainless as an option people! What you get here is quality, well-done engineering featuring precision flames, and the offset knobs make for a smart, intuitive layout. It does its job and does it well!

Wolf Gas Cooktop Model# CG365PS Standout Features:

• Maintain control with dual-stacked burners that go from 18,000 Btu down to a mere breath of flame
• Simmer and melt sauces, soups, and marinades easily with the lower tier of the dual-stacked burner
• Matches the professional look of other Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove products
• Reignites flame automatically with spark ignition system

To me, BlueStar is a brand that I can’t stay away from! I run, I hide, and there they are! BlueStar is in my face and I’m loving every feature of them. The truth is they are a raw cooking machine, BlueStar is not meant to be perfect, nor meant to be the easiest to clean, BlueStar’s biggest pull is they are meant to bring your inner chef out! This 36” open burner premium cooktop features their unique UltraNova burners for nice, even cooking with massive 22k BTU power. Here’s a great question to ponder. Why is it that every time I have a Chef or a person who worked in a restaurant, they respect this unit? Because it deserves it!
