KitchenAid 36-in 5 burners Stainless steel Gas Cooktop

The KitchenAid 36-inch 5-Burner Gas Cooktop is engineered for high-performance cooking and long-term durability. It features a professional 20K BTU Dual Ring Burner and a specialized CookShield Finish that protects the stainless steel surface from the yellowing and staining often caused by high-temperature cooking.

• 20K BTU Professional Dual Ring Burner: Ranges from a single flame for precise simmering to a dual flame for powerful, rapid boiling.
• Even-Heat™ 6K BTU Simmer Burner: Includes a diffuser plate for exceptional flame control at the lowest settings, perfect for delicate sauces.
• CookShield Finish: A permanent, scratch-resistant coating that keeps the stainless steel surface looking new without harsh chemicals.
• Full-Width Cast-Iron Grates: Allows for seamless movement of heavy cookware across the entire surface with a durable, easy-to-clean finish.
• Electronic Ignition: Automatically ignites the burners for reliable starts, eliminating the need for a standing pilot light.
• Metal Control Knobs: Heavy-duty multi-finish knobs provide a premium feel and superior heat resistance.
• LP Conversion Kit Included: Provides everything needed to convert the unit from natural gas to liquid propane.

When planning your cooking area, compare this KitchenAid cooktop’s five-burner gas format with your layout and the dishes you typically prepare together. Use its stainless steel finish as a reference when coordinating nearby appliance and hardware finishes.

If your recipes alternate between simmering and boiling, consider the 20K BTU dual-ring burner’s single-flame simmering and dual-flame boiling options when planning burner use. The 6K BTU Even-Heat simmer burner provides a separate option for delicate sauces, with a diffuser plate for flame control at low settings.

Full-width cast-iron grates allow cookware to move across the cooking surface—a detail to weigh if your cooking routine involves shifting pots between burners.
