When to Choose a Cooktop & Oven Setup
Trying to choose between a range vs cooktop and wall oven? A cooktop and wall oven combination offers several advantages over a traditional range and worth considering. Here are a few scenarios where this setup might be the better choice:
✅ Custom Kitchen Workflow: Separating an induction cooktop and wall oven allows for a flexible kitchen design, enabling you to position each appliance where it best suits your cooking habits. For example, placing the oven at eye level eliminates the need for bending, while the cooktop can be placed closer to prep areas.
✅ Independent Cooking Zones: Opting for an induction cooktop and oven combo creates distinct cooking zones, ideal for households with multiple cooks. While one person handles baking, another can focus on stovetop tasks without getting in the way.
✅ Optimized Cabinet Space: Unlike ranges, cooktops don’t require storage space below the countertop. This leaves room for drawers and cabinets to store pots, pans, and utensils.
✅ Kitchens with Islands: Cooktops are a popular choice for kitchen islands, where they can double as a cooking surface and a social hub for entertaining guests.

About Induction Cooktops
If you’re not sold on induction over electric or gas, here’s why we think they’re great. Induction cooktops are revolutionizing the way we cook. They offer unmatched speed, safety, precision, and energy efficiency, making them an increasingly popular choice for modern kitchens.
✔Fastest Cooking Times: Induction technology uses magnetic fields to directly heat cookware, skipping the need to warm up a burner. This results in faster boiling times and overall efficiency.
✔Safest Way to Cook: Because induction cooktops only heat the cookware and not the surface itself, they’re inherently safer, and there’s less risk of accidental burns. Additionally, they automatically shut off when no compatible pan is detected.
✔Nimble Heat Control: Induction cooktops respond almost instantly to temperature adjustments, giving you precise control whether you’re searing a steak or simmering a delicate sauce.
✔Energy Efficiency: Induction cooktops are three times more energy-efficient than gas cooktops and up to 10% more efficient than electric cooktops.

How to Choose the Right Oven
When pairing your oven with induction cooktop, it’s essential to find the right fit for your kitchen and cooking needs. You can buy your induction cooktop and oven separately, or you could opt for a 2-piece kitchen appliance package or even browse larger appliance packages with cooktop and wall oven and other kitchen essentials, like a dishwasher and refrigerator. Consider the following factors (click the ➕ to learn more):
➕Shop by Oven Size
Wall ovens come in three standard widths: 24", 27", and 30".
- 24-inch Ovens: Ideal for compact kitchens, these ovens suit single homeowners, couples, or anyone who doesn’t bake frequently.
- 27-inch Ovens: A middle-ground option that offers more capacity while still being space-efficient—great for medium-sized kitchens!
- 30-inch Ovens: The largest option, perfect for families or avid bakers who need maximum capacity for large roasts, multiple trays of cookies, or big family dinners.
➕Shop by Oven Fuel Type
Wall ovens are available in both electric and gas models, each with unique benefits.
- Electric Ovens: Known for consistent and even heat distribution, electric ovens excel at baking and roasting. Many models also include convection for faster, more uniform results. Avid home chefs tend to prefer an induction cooktop and convection oven.
- Gas Ovens: Gas models heat quickly and are preferred for broiling and roasting. While gas convection ovens exist, they are less common.
➕Shop by Oven Configuration
Choose between single or double wall ovens based on your cooking style and kitchen needs.
- Single Ovens: Perfect for kitchens with limited space or households that don’t need multiple cooking compartments.
- Double Ovens: Offer versatility for those who cook large meals or frequently entertain, as they allow simultaneous baking and roasting at different temperatures. For the utmost in luxury and function, we recommend opting for an induction cooktop double oven.

FAQ
What is an induction cooktop?
An induction cooktop is a cooking surface that uses electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, rather than heating the burner itself. This technology provides faster, more precise cooking while keeping the cooktop surface cool to the touch.
How do induction cooktops work?
Induction cooktops generate heat by creating a magnetic field between the cooktop surface and compatible cookware. When you place a ferromagnetic pan on the cooktop, the magnetic field excites the metal molecules, creating heat that cooks your food.
What cookware works with induction cooktops?
Induction cooktops require cookware made of ferromagnetic materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel. You can test your existing pots and pans by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom—if it does, it’s induction-compatible!
