Cooktops

Induction cooktops save energy, time and money

By wasting less heat, induction cooktops use significantly less energy than gas and ceramic cooktops. The cooking area also remains cooler and more comfortable to use.

Unlike old style cooktops, the induction models supplied by Prestige Appliances enable heat levels to be adjusted both immediately and precisely.

There is none of the delay experienced with electric cooktops or the disadvantages of gas (possible leakages, production of carbon monoxide which occurs with all combustion).

Safety is a crucial safety factor as induction cooktops remain cool to the touch outside the cooking vessel contact area. That's because heat is supplied direct to the vessel via a magnetic field. This also means there's no wasted energy when you use vessels smaller than the cooking zone.

Other safety features include childproof controls, auto-shutdown if unattended too long, and overheating detection. Fine temperature adjustment simplifies low-heat cooking tasks such as melting chocolate and making sauces are much simpler.
