How to choose the right cooktop

Induction and gas suit different cooking habits rather than one being universally better. Induction heats faster, responds instantly to adjustment, and keeps the surrounding glass surface cooler, but it needs magnetic cookware and relies on power. Gas gives visual flame feedback many cooks prefer and, with a gas ignition backup, can still operate during a power outage, but the cooktop and surrounding benchtop run hotter and can be slower to clean. If you already own a full set of stainless steel or cast iron pots, induction is usually a straightforward switch; if your cookware is mostly aluminium or copper-bottomed, check compatibility first.

Match burner or zone count to how you cook rather than defaulting to the largest model. A household that regularly uses a wok benefits from a dedicated wok burner or a flexizone sized for a wok's rounded base. Confirm the exact cut-out dimensions for your chosen model before the benchtop is cut, since 600mm and 900mm are nominal widths and templates differ between brands. Pair your cooktop with a rangehood rated for the burner output or induction wattage to keep the kitchen properly ventilated.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between induction and gas cooktops?
Induction cooktops heat the pan directly through an electromagnetic field, making them faster to heat up and cool down and easier to keep clean. Gas cooktops give a visible flame and instant, familiar heat control, and can still work during a power outage with gas ignition backup. Induction requires induction-compatible (magnetic) cookware.
What does flexizone mean on an induction cooktop?
A flexizone is a larger cooking area made up of two or more induction zones that can operate as one, so you can use oversized pans, griddles or two smaller pots side by side rather than being limited to a single fixed zone size.
What size cut-out do I need for a 600mm or 900mm cooktop?
Cooktops are sold in standard 600mm and 900mm widths, but the benchtop cut-out size varies slightly between models. Always check the specific product's installation template and cut-out dimensions before your benchtop is cut.
What is a flame failure device (FFD) on a gas cooktop?
A flame failure device automatically shuts off the gas supply to a burner if the flame goes out unexpectedly, for example if it's blown out by a draft or extinguished by a boil-over. It's a standard safety feature on modern gas cooktops sold in Australia.
Do I need induction-compatible cookware for an induction cooktop?
Yes. Induction cooktops only heat pans made from magnetic materials such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. A simple test is to hold a fridge magnet to the base of your pan; if it sticks firmly, the pan will generally work on an induction cooktop.
