90cm Gas Cooktops

A 90cm gas cooktop is the go-to choice for households that cook in volume. Whether you are feeding a large family, entertaining regularly or simply want more room on the hob at once. With five or six burners and generous cooking space, these wide-format cooktops give you the flexibility to run multiple pots and pans simultaneously. At Bing Lee we stock 90cm gas cooktops from brands including Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, Smeg and Westinghouse.

FAQs

1. What are the benefits of a 90cm gas cooktop over a 60cm model?

The main advantage is the additional cooking space and extra burners. A 90cm cooktop typically offers five to six burners, compared to four on a 60cm model, which means you can have more pots on the go at the same time. The extra width also gives you more room to work comfortably, particularly when using a large wok or stockpot alongside smaller pans. If you cook for five or more people regularly, the step up to 90cm makes a noticeable difference to your kitchen workflow.

2. What burner configurations are available on 90cm gas cooktops?

Most 90cm models include a combination of small, medium and large burners, typically with one high-powered wok burner that can reach higher BTU output for fast, high-heat cooking. Some models arrange burners in a linear row, while others place them in an offset pattern that lets you fit more pots of varying sizes without them clashing. A few models also include a dual-ring burner that can be adjusted between a larger and smaller ring to suit different cookware sizes.

3. How do I choose the best 90cm gas cooktop for my kitchen?

The most important thing to check is whether your bench cut-out is wide enough. A 90cm cooktop needs a bench space of around 860-880mm across. Think about whether you want cast iron trivets for durability, whether a wok burner is important to you, and whether you prefer stainless steel or a black finish.

4. Do 90cm gas cooktops need a wider rangehood?

Yes. The general rule is that your rangehood should be at least as wide as your cooktop, so a 90cm cooktop ideally pairs with a 90cm or wider rangehood. A narrower rangehood will not effectively capture all the steam and cooking vapour from a larger cooktop surface, which can result in grease build-up on your cabinetry over time. Check out our canopy and wall-mounted rangehoods for options that suit a 90cm cooktop.

5. What is the typical number of burners on a 90cm gas cooktop?

Most 90cm models come with five burners, with some featuring six. The configuration usually includes one or two high-output burners (including a wok burner), two medium burners and one small simmer burner. Having a dedicated simmer burner is particularly useful for holding sauces, stocks or slow-cooked dishes at a gentle, steady heat without the flame going out.
