Aga Rangetops

AGA Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

AGA rangetops, available at Plesser's Appliances, are the professional cooking surface of an AGA range without the oven beneath it — installed above a cabinet run with the oven placed at working height elsewhere. Built with the brand's cast iron construction and British styling in multiple widths.

Rangetop vs. Cooktop
A cooktop drops into a countertop cutout and sits shallow, preserving drawer space below. A rangetop is deeper and taller, with a raised surface, full professional control depth, and typically higher output — installed above a cabinet rather than into a countertop. This determines the cabinetry design, so settle it before millwork.

Cast Iron Grates and Heavy Construction
Heavy cast iron grates hold heat and resist warping under the high output a rangetop delivers, and they feel substantially different in use than pressed steel. That construction is what separates a rangetop from a cooktop in daily use as much as the output does. Confirm grate design and burner layout for your width.

Output and Simmer Control
Rangetops sit at the top of the output range, which makes low-end control matter more rather than less — it is what keeps a high-output surface usable for delicate work instead of only for high heat. Confirm burner count and both high and low output figures for the model you are considering.

Surface Configuration
Rangetops offer the deepest surface configuration choice in the lineup, with griddle and specialty surface options available in combination with burners on select widths. Because configuration is fixed at the factory, this is an order-time decision rather than something changed later. Confirm which combinations exist in your chosen width.

Ventilation, Clearance, and Installation Planning
Rangetops produce high output and require ventilation sized to that output, adequate clearance to combustibles and to any wall behind, and a cabinet run built to the unit's specific dimensions. Weight may require support consideration. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about width, surface configuration, gas or electrical supply, and hood capacity together — the rangetop and hood should be specified as one decision.
