These models embody the ethos of Thermador, which is to provide culinary enthusiasts with the tools they need to create exceptional dishes at home.

One of the main features of these cooktops is their powerful Star® Burners. The PCG36 and PCG48 come equipped with up to five burners, including a highly efficient center burner that delivers up to 22,000 BTUs of heat.

This technology is ideal for chefs who require precise control over their cooking temperatures.

The Thermador PCG series also prioritizes safety with features like automatic re-ignition, which ensures that if a burner’s flame is extinguished, it will automatically relight. Safety is paramount, particularly in fast-paced kitchen environments, and this feature provides peace of mind while cooking.

Moreover, one of the standout characteristics of these cooktops is their compatibility with Thermador’s exclusive Freedom® cooktops, which allows for more flexible cooking configurations. This innovative design enables chefs to arrange their cooking stations according to their unique preferences.
