CR's Take
The Thermador Masterpiece Star SGSX305TS 30-inch gas cooktop has 5 burners. This model has a stainless steel surface with dishwasher-safe grates. Safety features include auto reigniting if the flame blows out. This model performs satisfactory in our high heat test. High heat is helpful for quickly boiling water or if you do a lot of searing or stir-frying. This model earns top marks in our low heat test. Low heat is helpful if you like making sauces, melting chocolate, or cooking other foods that can burn easily. This cooktop comes with 5 burners in total, including 1 high-power burner and 4 medium-power burners. This cooktop requires a cutout space of 19.125" deep x 28.9375" wide.About Consumer Reports
