Choosing the Right Cooktop for Your Scottsdale Home: Gas, Induction, or Both?

The cooktop is perhaps the most personal appliance choice in a luxury kitchen. Scottsdale homeowners selecting between Thermador's gas and induction options should consider factors unique to desert living.

Thermador's gas cooktops featuring Star Burners deliver exceptional heat control and the visual feedback of an open flame.

Thermador's induction cooktops, including the innovative Freedom Induction with Flex zones, generate less ambient heat than gas, a meaningful consideration in Scottsdale summers.

The Liberty Induction features independent elements that can be bridged for large cookware, while Freedom Induction offers nearly unlimited placement flexibility.

For Scottsdale outdoor kitchens, gas remains the practical choice. Induction requires high-amperage electrical circuits that may not route easily to exterior installations.

One hybrid approach gaining popularity is combining a Thermador gas rangetop with a separate induction cooktop for maximum flexibility.

Regardless of your choice, Thermador offers professional-grade performance in both categories. Our technicians service both technologies.
