Elegant and streamlined, the 36-Inch Electric Cooktop KECC568R is the top-of-the-line selection from respected appliance manufacturer KitchenAid. The design is simple, but the features are the latest in sophisticated cooking technology. Five elements are visible just under the flat, smooth glass-ceramic surface. Each is controlled by the lightest of finger touches on the embedded electronic controls. These minimalist controls blend harmoniously into the surface of the top while providing some of the most precise heat control available on an electric unit.

Excellent versatility means this cooktop performs as well for a high boil as for a saut?, melt, or hold. Two specialty elements ensure outstanding results regardless of pan size. One element offers a triple ring, which can be adjusted to match pan circumference up to 10 inches. Two other elements can be combined and used as a bridge. The bridge increases the surface area to a shape of a large oval that's perfect for long, slow stovetop cooking in a roaster. Output wattage varies widely from 800 to 1800 watts, making this cooktop adaptable to your many different cooking tasks. Among the highest priced electric cooktops, this one makes one of the best attempts at mimicking the performance of the gas flames chefs love.
