A 90cm gas cooktop. A 75cm gas cooktop. A 60cm gas cooktop. Our gas cooktops come in three different widths to ensure you'll find one that suits your needs and preferences. One benefit of an extra-wide, 5 burner 90cm gas cooktop: ample space to cook fish, boil pasta and steam broccoli in parallel.

Ultimately, the best gas cooktop for you depends on factors like your cooking habits and the width of your kitchen worktop.

Pro tip: You can upgrade from a 60cm gas cooktop to a 75cm gas cooktop without changing the cutout.

A 5-burner, 90cm gas cooktop with a two-flame wok burner is both beautiful and functional. But a gas cooktop with 4 burners might perfectly suit your needs. To determine the right number and types of burners, consider these key factors:

• Space in your kitchen
• Your cooking habits
• Your household size

If it's been awhile since you last bought a gas cooktop, you'll be pleased to discover FlameSelect, which gives you precise control of the flame.

The advantages? A consistently high temperature to sear a steak. Or a consistently low one to cook creamy scrambled eggs. Making ratatouille? Medium heat always yields perfect results.

Available on most of our models, FlameSelect lets you choose from nine pre-defined power levels. So you always know exactly how strong the flame is – even though you can't see it.

Let's be honest: even the world's biggest gas cooktop fans wish there were an easier way to remove the traces of last night's lip-smacking osso buco. While we can't (yet) offer you a self-cleaning cooktop, we do have some tips:

• Look for a cooktop with dishwasher-suitable pan supports. When dirty, simply run them through the dishwasher. Voilà – good as new!
• After cooking, soak high-quality enamel pan supports in the sink. Then effortlessly wipe off the grime.

Bear these tips in mind when selecting a new appliance for your kitchen.
