The brand name Frigidaire may not sound like the name for appliances that heat things up. However, the company that made its name by designing and manufacturing Frigidaire refrigerators now offers a wide variety of quality ranges and ovens.

The right Frigidaire stovetop for you will depend on the layout of your kitchen, the space you have for your new cooktop and the kind of fuel you want to use. If you are replacing an existing cooktop, the easiest option will be to stick with the same size and fuel-type as your old cooktop. But if you’re doing a complete kitchen remodel, you could have a wide range of choices.

Many professional cooks and culinary enthusiasts prefer gas cooktops. Gas Frigidaire cooktops come in popular sizes with both four and five-burner options. Frigidaire gas stoves are also available in different finishes, with stainless steel being a popular choice. Meanwhile, if you are leaning towards an electric Frigidaire cooktop, you will notice that some Frigidaire electric stoves use induction heating. So, be sure to read up on induction cooktops vs. traditional electric cooktops before making your final decision.

Getting the most out of your Frigidaire stovetop involves optimizing your cooking experience for efficiency, safety and culinary success. For a Frigidaire gas cooktop, make sure you have a good range hood to vent the chemicals released by gas. For a Frigidaire glass top stove, a cooktop with a hot-surface indicator is useful because it is not always clear when the stovetop is still hot.

Frigidaire induction cooktops, on the other hand, actually stay cool to the touch. Instead of heating up themselves, induction cooktops work by transferring the heat directly to induction safe cookware. Regular pots and pans will not be able to heat up from the transfer of magnetic induction technology.

If you want an all-in-one appliance instead of a separate cooktop and oven, you could also consider a Frigidaire gas range or a Frigidaire electric range. This would limit your Frigidaire wall oven options, but a complete range is generally easier to install than separate cooktops and ovens.
