cooktops
Burners for pots
Cooktops are the flat cooking surfaces with burners built into a kitchen counter, separate from an oven.
The term distinguishes these from freestanding ranges that combine stovetop and oven in one unit.
Cooktops may be gas, electric, or induction: We upgraded to an induction cooktop.
Also called stovetops or hobs (British).
