Mankind has come a long way since burning wood fires and cooking in hand made clay pots. These days we have microwave ovens, electric grills and other such gadgets that help us get a lot more done is lesser time, exclaimed Sarah Otritington a New York City reporter as she covered a live event.

Cook tops are also a wonderful appliance that Man has developed over time. It truly is a perfect appliance and one that is now used all over the world. No house or kitchen is complete without a good quality cook top.  Until recently the department of health and safety has applied a new law which has specified certain standards for cook tops to be fitted in homes and hotels.

When specifying the types of Cook Tops Sarah stated that the department had admitted that there are many different types and styles of cook tops that you can choose from based upon your needs and requirements however, they should follow some order and specifications.

With respect to two burner cook tops:  the state has allowed their usage in small homes or apartments are better suited for two burner cook tops. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes as well. There is also normally a choice between the sizes of each burner. One can be smaller used mainly or cooking light meals like boiling and egg or making soup, while the other is used for larger meals.

The state has deemed three and four burner cook tops suitable for larger homes cook tops with three and four burners are more suitable. As in homes different dishes need to be prepared simultaneously therefore, it is essential to have more than one burner to work with.

Customizable cook tops have been deemed as allowed in places such as restaurants and hotels, dishes need to be prepared by the dozen and for such places customized cook tops are designed which can have up to 10 individual burners.

When asked to comment on this new law a member of the state department said “A cook top is not only a stylish and classy kitchen fixture but is also a practical solution for all cooking related situations. If you don’t have one yet, you should definitely consider getting one.”
