Ranging from sleek and unobtrusive to decidedly scene-stealing, these four cooktops suit any space.
1 Heritage Collection by Dacor
Large 36-cm grates arranged as a continuous platform let heavy, full pots slide (rather than needing to be lifted) along the entire surface. Cooking accessories, which can be seamlessly swapped in, include a wok ring, a searing grill and a griddle. dacor.com
2 Liberty Induction by Thermador
The five cooking elements of this induction surface can be combined to form larger zones to accommodate round pots, rectangular roasting pans or square griddles – and the heat source will follow a utensil shifted across the surface. thermador.ca
3 Professional Series by Bertazzoni
The 90-cm-wide gas hob in this collection offers flexibility through variously sized brass burners and cast-iron pot supports. It also features an ignition system that operates with one hand and reduces gas consumption – plus the gas flow instantly shuts off if the flame goes out. bertazzoni.com
4 TwoInOne by Miele
An integrated downdraft extractor combines with an induction cooktop for a clean, interruption-free surface. Reflecting the minimal look, touch controls eliminate the need for dials and knobs. miele.ca
