What are the benefits of induction cooking? Will your existing stainless steel cookware work on an induction hob? If you need a little more assistance with choosing the best induction cooktop for your home, read through our Induction Cooktop Buying Guide.
What is an Induction Cooktop?
Induction cooktops use a process known as electromagnetic induction to directly heat your pots and pans, allowing induction hobs/cooktops to provide rapid heat and precise temperature control as you cook. Using specific cookware with a magnetic base, induction cooktops generate a magnetic field under the cooking surface which directly heats your pots and pans.
This is not only a more efficient way to cook, it can be safer as the cooking zones cool down a lot faster once the pot has been removed. This heating method is what sets induction cooking apart from gas hobs and electric hobs.
Browse the selection of induction cooktops from top brands such as Westinghouse, Bosch, Fisher & Paykel, Smeg, ASKO, Ilve, and more, and find the right kitchen appliance for your home, cooking style, and price range.
Many induction cooktops use simple touch controls to adjust the temperature of the separate cooking zones, set underneath the black ceramic glass.
When it comes to looking for the right induction cooktop, it's important to note how big a cooktop you may want in your kitchen. Similar to gas cooktops, induction models commonly come in 60cm and and 90cm hobs size variants but there are a variety of different sizes for you to tailor your kitchen to your personal tastes.
There are even dedicated wok-zone induction cooktops to help you effortlessly whip up delicious meals.
