• an oven on which a door that opens and closes a cavity defining a cooking space is provided on a front surface thereof;
• and
• a cooktop provided above the oven to define a top surface of the cooking apparatus, wherein the cooktop comprises:
• a module mounting space provided in the cooktop and having an open top surface;
• a plurality of cooking modules mounted through the open top surface of the module mounting space;
• a base plate defining a bottom surface of the module mounting space;
• a front support provided along a front end of the module mounting space and disposed at a position that is spaced upward apart from a front end of the base plate to support all front ends of the plurality of cooking modules;
• a rear support provided along a rear end of the module mounting space to support all rear ends of the plurality of cooking modules;
• a manipulation panel defining an outer appearance of the cooktop and that covers a front opening between the front support and base plate;
• and
• a manipulation member mounted on the manipulation panel and connected to a knob unit or a valve unit through the front opening, wherein the plurality of cooking modules has a same unit length or lengths that corresponds to a multiple of the unit length in a horizontal direction to respectively cover unit areas of the module mounting space, wherein the plurality of cooking modules and the manipulation member are selectively arranged at one of the unit areas of the module mounting space, wherein the manipulation member is disposed at a front side of a unit area of each of the plurality of cooking modules to manipulate an operation of a corresponding cooking module of the plurality of cooking modules, wherein the knob unit or the valve unit is disposed on the base plate, wherein a knob unit coupling hole or a valve unit coupling hole in which the knob unit or the valve unit is mounted is defined in the base plate, and wherein the knob unit coupling hole or the valve unit coupling hole is defined in each of all of the unit areas.
