Kitchenaid Electric Cooktops

KitchenAid Electric Cooktops at Plesser's Appliances

KitchenAid electric cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout as a smooth ceramic-glass surface with radiant elements. Offered in multiple widths, they free the oven to sit at working height while keeping the cooking surface simple to clean.

Flat Surface, Simple Cleanup
A smooth ceramic-glass surface with no grates, burner caps, or crevices wipes clean in one pass, and when cold the flat surface doubles as usable counter space — a real gain in a small kitchen. Radiant elements retain heat after switch-off, so hot surface indicators matter. Confirm your model has them.

Element Sizing and Expandable Zones
Higher-output elements deliver fast boiling, and expandable or multi-ring elements adapt to different pan diameters and oval cookware, which is what makes a radiant cooktop workable with a mixed set of pans. Layout matters more than element count with large cookware. Confirm the configuration for your width.

Works With Any Cookware
Unlike induction, a radiant electric cooktop works with any flat-bottomed cookware — no magnetic requirement, no replacing aluminum or copper pans. It also typically requires less electrical service than induction, which can be the deciding factor where panel capacity is committed. The trade-off is slower response and heat-up.

Controls and Cabinetry Freedom
Touch controls with control lock on most models keep the surface clean and uninterrupted. Because a cooktop is shallow relative to a rangetop, usable drawers or cabinet space stay available directly beneath it — a meaningful gain in a smaller kitchen.

Cutout, Electrical, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop material compatibility, and clearance below vary by model and are not interchangeable between widths. Installation requires appropriate 240V service. Ventilation is still needed. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, electrical requirements, and hood sizing before the countertop is templated.
