The Mini Cooktop
While four- or five-burner cooktops might be the norm in family kitchens, petite
versions could be a better solution for smaller households, or when space is tight.
Just think of all the bench space you will free up for meal prep. “When choosing a
cooktop, think about how many people you cook for, the type of meals you cook and
how often. This will help you decide how many burners you really need. Why try to
squeeze in four burners if two will do the job?” says Geraldine Gillespie, The Good
Guys Buyer – Cooking & Kitchenware.
