You must have wondered, “Does a burner with a star shape make a difference over a round burner?” To answer your question, we have prepared this article where we will learn the differences between Thermador’s Star Burner and other manufacturers’ burners.
Thermador’s Star Burner
- The Thermador Star Burner varies depending on whether you are buying a cooktop, range or rangetop.
- Thermador’s Pro Grand series has a maximum of 22,000 BTUs for one burner, while the rest have 15,000 and 18,000 BTU outputs.
- The Thermador Harmony is their shallower series with 15,000 and 18,000 BTU burners.
- Cooktops have less output as compared to a rangetop in any brand. However, a cooktop will have two burners with over 15,000 BTU output.
How Does the Thermador Star Burner Compare to Other Brands’ Burners?
- BTU Output:
Signature Kitchen Suite (SKS) has a combination of 15,000 and 23,000 BTU burners. All four burners on this 48-inch range have the required feature to perform at lower temperatures between 650 and 310 BTUs. There is also a water bath for a two-zone induction cooking surface with SKS and a water bath for sous vide cooking.
On the other hand, Wolf’s 48-inch range has one burner with a high BTU output of 20,000, two at 18,000, and two at 15,000 BTU. Wolf has 20,000, 18,000, and 15,000 BTU outputs while JennAir has 20,000 and 15,000 BTU burners.
- Cleanability
The Star Burner is well conceived in this case. Round Burners might have removable tops, but you can only clean under the Star Burner with a Thermador professional range. To clean around burners, you have to scrub around them.
- Simmering Capability
For an extremely effective simmer, Thermador has two extra-low simmer burners at 100 BTU each. To stay at the low temperature of 100 BTU, Thermador’s extra-low burners turn on and off.
Wolf is also renowned in this department as it is known to have an excellent simmer burner at about 300 BTU.
- Price
As compared to Wolf, Thermador has always presented itself as a lower-priced option. You would also receive a free dishwasher, with the purchase of a professional range from Thermador.
Thermador is a good range to consider when you are shopping for multiple appliances and moreover, it has some great features as well. However, the burner shape does not lend any advantages other than easy cleaning for professional rangetops and ranges.
