75cm Gas Cooktops
A 75cm gas cooktop offers more cooking space than the standard 60cm without jumping all the way up to a 90cm footprint, making it a practical middle ground for households that want an extra burner but have limited bench space.

FAQs
1. What are the advantages of a 75cm gas cooktop over a 60cm?
A 75cm cooktop typically gives you five burners instead of four, so you have an extra cooking zone to work with. The additional width also means the burners are spaced a little further apart, which makes it easier to work with larger pots and pans side by side without them getting in the way of each other. It is a popular upgrade for households that cook for larger families or just like having more flexibility during busy meal prep.
2. How many burners does a 75cm gas cooktop usually have?
Most 75cm gas cooktops come with five burners. The typical configuration includes a high-powered wok burner, two medium-sized cooking burners, a small simmer burner and an additional medium or auxiliary burner. The exact layout varies between brands and models. Some 75cm models arrange burners in an offset pattern, which can help fit different-sized pots more comfortably without them overlapping.
3. How do I choose the best 75cm gas cooktop for my kitchen?
Check that your bench cut-out or bench space can accommodate 75cm. You will need a bench run of at least 750mm in width. Measure the required cut-out dimensions from the product specifications, as these are slightly smaller than the overall cooktop width. Think about what burner configuration suits your cooking style, whether a powerful wok burner is important or whether more medium-sized burners would be more useful for everyday cooking.
4. Do I need a 75cm rangehood with a 75cm gas cooktop?
As a general rule, your rangehood should be at least as wide as your cooktop. A 75cm cooktop works well with a 75cm or 90cm rangehood. A 60cm rangehood will not provide full coverage across the wider cooking surface, which can result in steam and cooking smells not being captured from the outer burners. Check out our rangehood range to find a matching model.
5. What is a wok burner and do I need one?
A wok burner is a high-output gas burner that produces significantly more heat than a standard cooking burner, typically two to three times higher output measured in MJ/h. This extra power gets a large wok up to the very high temperatures needed for proper stir-frying. If you cook Asian-style food regularly, a wok burner is well worth having. If you rarely use a wok, the high-output burner still works well for boiling large pots of pasta or stock quickly.
