Kitchenaid Rangetops

KitchenAid Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

KitchenAid rangetops, available at Plesser's Appliances, are the professional cooking surface of a commercial-style KitchenAid range without the oven beneath it — installed above a cabinet run with the oven placed at working height elsewhere. Offered in multiple widths with deep surface configuration options.

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.

High Output With Real 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. Dual-tier burner designs with dedicated melt and simmer settings cover both ends. Confirm burner count and both high and low output figures.

Griddle and Grill Surface Options
Rangetops offer the deepest surface configuration choice in the lineup, with griddle and grill options available in combination with burners on select widths. A griddle changes weekend breakfast; a grill surface changes what you can do indoors. Because configuration is fixed at the factory, this is an order-time decision.

Professional Appearance
The raised surface, heavy cast-iron grates, and full-depth control panel give a rangetop the look of commercial equipment. In an open kitchen this is a deliberate design statement rather than a concealed appliance — coordinate the hood and adjacent units accordingly.

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. A grill surface raises ventilation requirements further. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about width, surface configuration, gas supply, and hood capacity together.
