Viking Gas Cooktops

Viking Gas Cooktops at Plesser's Appliances

Viking gas cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout with cabinetry or drawers below, bringing sealed burner performance and VariSimmer control to a surface-only installation.

VariSimmer and Sealed Burners
VariSimmer holds a genuinely low, even flame on every surface burner rather than cycling on and off, which makes the cooktop usable for chocolate, sauces, and long reductions as well as searing. Sealed construction keeps spills on the surface rather than dropping into a burner box below. Confirm burner count and both high and low output for your width.

Heavy Grates and Surface Design
Cast iron grates take daily use without warping and lift out for cleaning, with continuous designs on most models letting cookware slide across the full surface rather than lifting between burners. Grate design affects how the cooktop works with large pans more than burner count does, so confirm the configuration.

Cabinetry Freedom Below
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. It also separates the cooking surface from the oven, so the oven can go into a wall stack at a comfortable height rather than at floor level.

Controls and Finish
Front-mounted knobs give control feedback you can feel and operate with wet hands, with electronic ignition eliminating pilot lights. Because controls sit at the front of the surface, knob styling is a visible part of the countertop, so coordinate with adjacent Viking equipment at order.

Cutout, Clearance, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop overhang, clearance to combustibles, and cabinet depth below vary by model and are not interchangeable between widths. Natural gas and LP configurations differ. Ventilation should be sized to total burner output. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about cutout specs, gas supply, and hood sizing before the countertop is templated.
