Converting to gas cooktop=small fortune!
Comments (21)We just finished doing exactly what you wanted to do. We live in a high cost area (SF Bay Area), and our gas line was run through the ceiling. The cost for the run was about $1100, but it was part of a larger remodel that included increasing electrical outlets and new sheetrock. We just started using our new six burner Dacor rangetop this week and completely love it. We love the adjustability, control and instant response of the gas. We've tried/used induction cooktops during a few dozen cooking demos and classes; and even bought a single burner induction cooktop to use in our temporary garage kitchen during the remodel. Many people like induction cooktops; our KD tried to talk us into one. We just don't. We like gas so much better and are very happy with our choice. That said, we plan to keep our plug-in single burner induction cooktop to use for those applications where electric works better (rice). If you're thinking of an induction cooktop, I strongly recommend you try one for a few weeks and see what you think. They're easily and affordably obtainable through Amazon, and I attached a link to the one we bought.

Comments (4)+1 for what greendesigns said about getting a cooktop in a lower countertop. lajme -- The problems with taking the adjusting feet off a range will be: (a) you lose the ability to level your range; (b) you lose the anti-tip protection (which hooks over one of the adjusting feet at the rear of the range); (c) pro-style ranges need legs and the sides not designed to sit directly on the floor; and (d) on major brand ranges, removing the adjusting feet won't actually lower the range much because the adjusting feet usually are not very thick. Might have better luck with a thick kitchen gel/antifatigue mat in front of the stove. IIRC, the WellnessMat brand are 3/4" thick which is about the same as what you'd gain by taking the feet off a standard range....See MoreBest Base Cabinets for Pots & Pans?
Comments (7)I've had both rollout shelf and drawers, and drawers win. My old c.1961 kitchen had lower cabinets with a rollout shelf on the bottom and a fixed half-shelf on top(kitchen came to us that way). I thought this was great until I switched to drawers in the remodel. What an improvement! I measured the largest stockpot and made the bottom drawer deep enough. All saucepans, stockpots, and skillets live in drawers under my cooktop, each with its own lid on top. My largest roasting pan is in the big, deep cab over the fridge, and my cookie sheets and commonly used baking/roasting pans are in a thin lower cab....See More36" Induction Cooktop that will accommodate small pots?
Comments (5)I went with the 36" frigidiare just for the smaller size pan option. Terrible mistake. It cracked a few months after use, cosmetic so its not covered under warranty. We have tried to replace the glass and the part is not available and may never be available according to Frigidaire.. so.. I will back to looking and will this time I will pay more and settle for less features ( such as pan size / bridge burner). I am more concerned this time around with a quality brand name vs the features and hope for a long lasting product this time around....See More- 6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago
