I am looking for advice on budgeting and deciding on the brand for a
gas cooktop.

I sear and simmer a lot.I really like the Thermador 5-Burner Gas
cooktop,but it costs about $1300. Is it worth spending that much money?

I make a lot of Indian food. I need something to simmers well and heats
my extra large griddle evenly. Of course, it needs to be easy to clean


Would the Thermador work? Are there any other cooktops that I should
look into as well?

Any advice on $ / other makes and models is much appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm very happy with my KitchenAid range. One of the burners has a
double ring for very high heat or very low simmering; the grate above
the burner reverses to hold a wok, too. The continuous grate on the top
makes it easy to move heavy pots around, and the sealed cook top is easy
to clean.

If you get a stove with a big burner, make sure you get an adequate hood.

I'll second the recommendation for this KitchenAid model - I had one
installed a couple of weeks ago, and so far we're very impressed.
