It is a seamless, cost-effective, and time-efficient cooktop. If a magnet strongly sticks to the bottom of a pot, it will work with an induction cooktop. If you prefer cooking with gas , we get it. The flame makes it easier to judge the heat, to get a feel for it, and to quickly move from a high setting to a low one.

Response time is particularly quick, especially when compared with a smoothtop. When you turn the knob from high to medium on a gas cooktop, the pot and the food in it experience that change almost immediately. And you can strike a match to light most gas burners when your power is out. On gas cooktops, oval burners shown above accommodate griddles and elongated pans. Some cooktops have an elongated bridge element that spans two burners to accommodate rectangular or odd-shaped cookware, such as a griddle.

In some, one knob or touch control then operates both. These are an important safety feature because the cooktop surface can remain hot long after an element has been turned off.

Many smoothtops have at least one warning light. Ideally, each element should have a separate warning light. Most WiFi-connected cooktops work with an app on your smartphone. The app will let you check the status of burners, or even turn them off from afar.

Induction cooktops are the most energy-efficient of all cooktop types, as they have the fastest cooking times and if no cookware is placed on the surface, then no heat is used. That means your energy efficiency is reduced. All cooktops must be professionally installed by a licenced electrician, and depending on your connections, some upgrades may be required. If upgrading from a standard electric or gas cooktop to an induction cooktop, power upgrades may be needed.

For the best result, we recommend you book a site assessment before installation. If you require bench or cabinet works to be completed for your cooktop to fit, this will need to be done prior.
