About this Item

Overview

KitchenAid 36 in. 5-Burner Natural Gas Cooktop with Griddle, Simmer Burner & Power Burner

36" 5-Burner Gas Cooktop with Griddle
Five burners and a removable griddle give this 36-inch gas cooktop the power and versatility challenging recipes demand. The 20,000 BTU Professional Dual Ring Burner is among the most powerful in the industry, and our innovative Even-Heat Torch Burner provides even coverage to ensure proper heating without scorching. Multi-Finish Knobs and the scratch-resistant CookShield Finish help protect the surface against stains that may occur with high-temperature cooking.

Features:

20,000 BTU Professional Dual Ring Burner
Allows you to go from one small flame for precise simmering to a dual flame for powerful boiling, all on the same burner.

Removable Griddle Included
Provides a one-piece flat surface that can be used on the right, left, or center of the cooktop surface, and is ideal for making a range of dishes from crepes to quesadillas.

Multi-Finish Back-Lit Knobs
Deliver a beautiful accent with pleasant LED lights that let you know when the burner is in use.

6,000 BTU Even-Heat Simmer Burner
A diffuser plate allows more control of the flame at the lowest setting, for more precise simmering and melting.

Additional Features:

10,000 BTU Even-Heat Torch Burner
Features an exclusive design that provides a small flame for delicate simmering and a larger one that distributes high heat across the whole pan for more even cooking.

CookShield Finish
protects the cooktop from stains that may occur with high temperature cooking. The permanent finish makes it easy to wipe clean without harsh chemicals so it looks clean, bright and beautiful even longer.

Electronic Ignition and Automatic Re-Ignition
Lights burners with an electric spark instead of a pilot light. For more reliable performance, burners are relit if the flame is blown out.

Full-Width Cast-Iron Grates
Enhance the beautiful look of the cooktop and allow easy movement of cookware around the entire cooking surface.

LP Conversion Kit
Allows you to convert the cooktop so it can be used with LP gas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but small issues [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We like our new cooktop a lot, but it has two small issues. The grate on top does not stay in alignment easily and the igniter ring around the burners discolored immediately. Everything else looks great and works well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extraordinary Power and Control [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful versatility with the variety of burners. Soften meltable items or quickly sear a piece of beef. You can do it all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks great and love the pancake griddle! Also like the light-up dials when in use / nice safety feature. No complaints whatsoever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to install and easy to use [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took about 45 minutes from bringing the box in to lighting the first burner. The gas had been previously piped. My husband installed it. Make sure the stove top has a good fit into the countertop hole. I cook most things on low I believe the food tastes better. Easy to clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice even temperature controls [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop replaces the 13 year old cooktop in our kitchen. I'm really impressed with the consistent flame control across all the burner, even at lowest simmer settings, which was a problem for the old cooktop. I do with the control etchings were more pronounced. we can't see what the control knob settings say unless we lean around and get it exactly the right light.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features, efficient settings and griddle. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it last month replacing a 16- year KitchenAid gas cooktop as part of replacing all kitchen appliances. Even though every old appliance was fully functional, the newer appliances are upgraded and much appealing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product and Great Service We recently purchased the KitchenAid 36" gas cooktop. It normally comes with a griddle. Unfortunately our new cooktop did not. It took awhile to finally speak to their Service/Support staff, but the wait was worth it. I spoke with Shelly and in five minutes a new griddle was on its way. Good service is a rare commodity these days, but not at KitchenAid/Whirlpool. Shelly was very knowledgeable and professional. Great cooktop and great service! John S.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Stove Top [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cooktop. Looks great and works great. I am a former chef and love having natural gas. I did not want to go with something cheap because I know how much I cook. This a a great cooktop that will get plenty of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cooktop. The addition of the griddle is very nice. I had a glass cooktop, but it was so very hard to regulate the heat when I was doing my pressure canning. This is so much easier… you set it to the desired setting and it stays there. I used to have to sit right by my stove to constantly turn the heat up or down because on the electric stove,the ‘heat’ kept going down and up and I’d have to adjust it constantly. This cooktop is so much easier for canning

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a new home a few years ago. The cooktop was old and did not fully fill the countertop cut out. We had previously owned Dacor appliances. We are planning a kitchen remodel in the next 1-2 years. We were thinking of adding a Wolf cooktop but thought this eould be a good choice for now. This is a 900 series cooktop so it has all the different options for burners. We’ve had it for close to a month now and we are quite enamored with this cooktop. The central high power burner (2 stage is powerful and boils water quickly. The even heat burner (right front) spreads the flame over a large area and provides even heat over a good temperature range that allows for better cooks for delicate dishes like omelettes to high heat applications such as searing steaks after sous vide cooking (reverse sear technique). The extra included top for the smallest burners (we use the back left) converts it to an excellent simmer burner. That accessory has found a permanent home! At this point we do not anticipate replacing this in our remodrl as it perfectly meets our needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SOLID...well made [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this for only 2 months but we can tell it's a well-made unit. SOLID, heavy grates, unique burner options and EASY to clean. Light-up dials are a nice feature...only suggestion is for the dials to be marked with a black ink, vs. white and to have that stamped...I can see that, over time, this may wear down. Other than that, quite impressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best feature lighted knobs [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lighted knobs are fantastic so you never fail to forget to turn burners off. So far has been easy to clean. The grates are really nice and heavy and stay in place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Work horse [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cooktop; the room, functionality is what I expect from kitchenaid. I can cook very hot to a real low simmer.
Date published: 2022-02-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Efficient and Attractive [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical but the wife really wanted to switch from an electric cooktop to this Kitchenaid gas cooktop. What an incredible difference immediately. No more inconsistent heat with sauces boiling over. It has a very large cooling area and the control knobs are well placed and have a solid professional feel. They light up too. I'm a believer now It also immediately changed the look of the kitchen into something to be proud of.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why Didn’t We Do This Sooner? [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my husband and I decided to upgrade our kitchen, it also meant switching from electric to gas cooking…finding a gas plumber, trekking to City Hall for a permit, and waiting for inspections, but SO WORTH THE WAIT!! We now have the KitchenAid KCGS956ESS, a 36”, 5 burner cooktop which gives us a variety of burners, it’s easy to keep clean, and did I mention it came with a griddle! Cooking now is fun and no longer a juggling act of shuffling pans on and off of electric burners. We are thrilled to have made this investment in our home. Thank you KitchenAid!
