 When buying a new cooktop or range, be sure to select a model with burners sized to fit your pots and pans and are suitable for the type of cooking you do.
A typical configuration includes one large burner, two medium burners, and one small burner. Of course, if you frequently cook for a large family or groups, you will probably need at least two large burners. Just keep in mind that the cooktop must be wider than the standard 30 inches if you want more than four burners.
Some cooktops offer two pairs of burners with a central grate on which you can rest hot pots, a grill for indoor barbecuing, or a griddle (as shown above).
