Countertop Cook Tops are, in reality, simply Ranges that are placed on countertops. Like full sized ranges, Countertop Cook Tops come in a variety of configurations including burners, char-grill, griddle, plancha or induction. Because of their smaller footprint, Countertop units can be complementary pieces that fit a niche need in a a broader kitchen layout. Also a good option where space is a critical, such as a concession stand or food truck, or vent coverage is a concern. Step Up configurations add additional cooking space, helping reduce clutter, without increasing the space taken up on a counter. Induction tops are an excellent solution where open flame equipment is not permitted.
