Choosing the Right Cooktop

From quick-heating glass ceramic cooktops, to energy efficient and precise induction cooktops or easy-to-control gas ones, there is a wide range of options.

Ceramic is often available
in black or white.

Ceramic Cooktops

These cooktops give an even heat and have a smooth easy-to clean surface of tempered glass. Some have variable cooking zones that provide effective heat and that can be adapted to the size of the cookware.

Induction cooktops

Induction cooktops get the job done faster than any other cooktops. Not to mention they are also easier on both your energy bill and the environment. Induction cooktops operate at a much higher level of efficiency compared to other cooktops because they transfer their energy directly to your pots and pans so very little heat is lost to the surface or the surrounding atmosphere. Usually found at a price only affordable to the few, our induction cooktops are available at a price that make them accessible to more people than ever before.

Gas cooktops

Many avid cooks swear by gas cooktops. They respond almost immediately when you increase or lower the heat, giving you lots of control and accuracy. And because the flame responds so quickly the burner doesn’t need extra time to heat up or cool down.

Energy-saving tip! You’re using the cooktop a lot. By choosing an induction cooktop that heats up quickly you’re saving a lot of time and energy. The induction cooktop is also more efficient in transferring heat to the pot compared to other types of cooktops. Use the right sized burner for the size of pot or pan you are using. If the burner is bigger than the pot it wastes energy. Also always use a lid when bringing e.g. water to the boil.
