About this Item

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

36" 5-Burner Gas Cooktop
If you love to experiment and push culinary limits, you'll appreciate the power and versatility of this 36-inch cooktop. Five individual burners includes a powerful 20,000 BTU Dual Ring Burner that is among the most powerful in the industry. The eye-catching design includes 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.

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.

Electronic Ignition
Automatically lights burners so no standing pilot light is needed

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

Additional Features:

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.

Multi-Finish Knobs
Enhance the look of the cooktop surface with sturdy construction that adds to their premium feel.

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

Customers Say

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

This 36-inch gas cooktop delivers a professional-grade cooking experience with its five-burner layout, anchored by a powerful 20,000 BTU center burner. While the continuous cast-iron grates create a seamless cooking surface and add to its commercial appeal, their height and weight make cleaning more challenging. The burners offer responsive heat control, though achieving true low-temperature simmering can be tricky. The sleek stainless steel surface looks impressive but requires careful maintenance to preserve its appearance. Users appreciate the cooking versatility but note some practical limitations - from hard-to-read control knob markings to tight spacing between burners when using multiple large pots. The electronic ignition system works, though sometimes needs multiple attempts to light.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased to replace my 20 plus year old Kitchen Aid cooktop wow wish my old cooktop would have died sooner lol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy we upgraded our appliance package to KitchenAid when we built the house. This cooktop is versatile. Nice to have 5 burners with the fifth burner having 2 cooking options. The cooktop is easy to clean, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great gas cooktop! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had gas cooktops before, but our KitchenAid gas cooktop is the best we have ever owned. The layout of the burners is great, and the controls are extremely precise. We have fallen back in love with cooking with gas!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to clean! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a new home and this was already installed, I like this cooktop but the only negative aspect is that it’s not deep enough to fit two medium size pans on the front and back burners at the same time. I love the stainless steel they use, it’s so easy to clean and doesn’t leave streaks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I Like the newer burners [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Liking it so far. I have had it a month. It replaced a 2006 kitchen aide. I like the center dual burner and the melt burner. Seems to cook evenly.
Date published: 2024-09-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop came with my new house and it is exactly what I could have picked if I was choosing it for myself. It is nice and wide and there is plenty of room for a few pots on the stovetop. It looks very sleek and minimalistic, which I like. If I had one complaint, it's that I can't read the part that shows which knob is for which burner as it is very faint. This cooktop works like a dream.

Date published: 2024-09-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We upgraded to this built-in in our new-build house that we closed on in July. We love the center power burner! It has definitely become a centerpiece and essential tool for our cooking, even in this short time. We also like the different size burners on the sides. We like how solid the grates are. Areas for Improvements: 1.) Ignition switch need some improvement - they can be hard to light. Particularly with the smaller burners. It doesn't fail, just takes a few tries. 2.) a center grate replacement for a wok please! 😁
Date published: 2024-08-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatile cooktop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very pleased with this appliance. In particular we like the five burners varying in size from very small to very large, easy to control flame and simmering capability.
Date published: 2024-07-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cooks great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop came as part of the appliance package with our new house. We opted for the KitchenAid appliances and are so glad we did. The cooktop cooks wonderfully well and maintains a great temperature for simmering, warming, even melting butter. It stays where you put it. The large center burner is great for the large stockpots for pasta and getting to temperature quickly.
