    Electric Smoothtop Cooktops (31)

    Electric smoothtops are the popular pick over induction cooktops, largely because they cost less. Smoothtops make it easy to clean up spills, but they require a special cleaner.

    Electric Induction Cooktops (18)

    Gas Cooktops (50)

    Unlike electric cooktops, gas cooktops vary widely in performance. The best in our tests have a large burner that can both heat up a pot of pasta water on high and simmer tomato sauce on low, and a smaller burner with gentle low heat for melting and delicate sauces.
