How to Choose the Perfect Cooktop for Your Kitchen
Choosing the right cooktop for your kitchen can be a daunting task, especially with so many options available. Here’s what you need to know..
Not all cooktops are created equal.
Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or just need a replacement, selecting the perfect cooktop is essential to your cooking efficiency. These days there are electric, gas, and induction options, and understanding the benefits of each can help you make the right decision for your home:
Features, Size & Layout.
When choosing a cooktop, you need to consider your kitchen’s space. A 60cm cooktop is standard, but larger or smaller sizes are available depending on your needs. And don’t forget to think about the features you need, such as a timer, child safety locks, or multiple burner sizes.
Gas Cooktops.
If you love to cook with precision and heat control, a gas cooktop might be your best option. They offer instant heat, and the flame gives you a visual cue of temperature. However, they do require a gas line connection, so if you’re planning on installing one, make sure you have access to gas. To specifically learn more about gas cooktops, read our article on how to choose a gas cooktop and the things you need to know.

Electric Cooktops.
Electric cooktops are sleek and easy to clean. They have smooth ceramic or induction surfaces, which make cooking faster and more energy efficient. If you’re looking for a cooktop that is low-maintenance and modern, electric might be the way to go. To learn more about electric cooktops, read our article on how to choose an electric cooktop and the things you need to know.
Induction Cooktops.
Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware, which means your cooktop stays cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns. They are energy efficient and perfect for those who prefer precision cooking or are concerned about safety. We talk more about induction cooktops in our article on how to choose an electric cooktop and the things you need to know.
Installation & Maintenance.
Finally, think about installation and maintenance. The last thing you want is a cooktop that hasn’t been properly installed and doesn’t function as efficiently as it should. A professional installer like Powerstate Services can ensure that your unit is set up correctly and running efficiently from day one. We can supply and install, or just install a unit you have purchased elsewhere, so why not contact us today or go straight to our booking form to arrange an installation.
