During our testing, we discovered that the "extra low" simmer burners actually cause the gas flame to cycle on and off to maintains those "extra low" temperatures. Use those burners if you need to keep a sauce simmering without scorching. However, the other burners have a tough time getting lower than 150☏, so it's helpful that this cooktop has the two "extra low" simmer settings on the center and front-left burners. The burner that gets the lowest in temperature is the rear-left burner, which comes in at a relatively chill 136☏. This is pretty good for a gas cooktop on average, the maximum temperature range tends to fall somewhere in the 400☏-450☏ range. The front-left, center, and rear-right burners all reach maximum burner temperatures that surpass 500☏. While that's not as fast as the boil time on induction cooktops, which can boil 6 cups of water in as little as two-and-a-half-minutes, it's comparable to the boil times of other gas cooktops. On the center 16,000 BTU power burner, it took about five-and-a-half minutes to boil 6 cups of water. The center burner on the Thermador SGSX365TS gas cooktop has 16,000 BTUs, as well as an "extra low" simmer setting. The signature star-shaped burner covers, while adding a bit of visual interest, are notoriously harder to clean compared to their circular counterparts on other gas cooktops.
Even still, the temperature differentiation is less pronounced than hot spots we've tested on other gas cooktops. While most burners have natural hot spots in the center where the gas is most concentrated, this model's star-shaped burner covers tend to block more of the flame from being delivered directly under the pot, resulting in a rarely seen cold spot in the center.The burners and grills are spaced far enough apart that it won't be difficult for you to fit a sauce pan and a spaghetti pot next to one another.Other than the center and front-left burners, which have the "extra low" simmer setting, the best burner to maintain a low temperature is the rear-left burner, which hits 136☏ at its lowest setting.The hottest recorded temperature was on the center burner, which maxed out at 517☏. All five burners can reach temperatures above 450☏.For the other cooktops we've tested, it takes an average of about six minutes to boil 6 cups of water. The center burner can boil 6 cups of water in about five-and-a-half minutes, which is none too shabby.The Thermador SGSX365TS gas cooktop is spacious and can easily accommodate multiple pots and pans at the same time.
