If you were in the market for a new stove, what would be the smallest diameter for the largest burner that you would find acceptable?

My fiancé and I are in the process of remodeling a house, and we’re completely revamping the kitchen. As I begin to choose appliances, I’ve been looking at electric and induction ranges. I’ve noticed that many of the nicer models only offer burner sizes up to 9 inches for the largest and 7 inches for the others. Would that be adequate for using 12-inch saucepans or large stock pots for dishes like gumbo or soup?

    When choosing a stove, the size of the burners is definitely something to consider, especially if you plan on cooking with larger pots and pans regularly. A 9″ burner is typically sufficient for a 12″ sauté pan or sauce pot, as it provides enough surface area to heat the pan evenly. However, for very large stock pots or preparing meals like gumbo, you might find that a larger burner (like a 10″ or 12″) would be more effective for even heating and quicker boiling times.

    If you often cook large meals or use bigger cookware, I would recommend looking for a stove that offers larger burners, perhaps in the range of 10″ or even a dual-zone burner that can accommodate different sizes. This way, you can make sure you have the flexibility for all your cooking needs! Additionally, consider how often you’ll be using the largest pots; if it’s a frequent occurrence, prioritizing larger burners will definitely enhance your cooking experience.
