Ceramic Cooktops

What is a ceramic cooktop?

A ceramic cooktop is a type of cooktop composed of heat-hardened clay material to form a ceramic glass surface. Ceramic cooktops usually refer to the material itself and can be broken down into two main types according to their heating method, with ceramic electric cooktops and induction cooktops being common variants.

However, there are gas cooktops which feature a ceramic surface, such as the Bosch Serie 6 Natural Gas Cooktop.

Explore the selection of electric ceramic cooktops from big brands such as Smeg, Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, Omega, and many more.

Easily control the power levels of the cooking zones/hotplates with the knob controls or touch controls, adjusting the temperature to suit your cookware and food type.

Designed for safety and efficiency, many ceramic glass hobs utilise safety features to protect you and your family, such as residual heat indicators, and child locks.

Some freestanding cookers even combine a ceramic glass cooktop with an oven, for a versatile multifunction kitchen appliance.

Cleaning a ceramic cooktop

Ceramic glass makes clean-up swift and simple. Electric cooktops and induction cooktops with a ceramic glass finish are easy to keep clean due to being constructed from one piece. This prevents crumbs and liquids from falling into hard-to-reach areas. Even if you have a gas cooktop with a ceramic finish, you can remove the trivets and burner caps from the cooktop and clean them separately, to make it shine just like a new cooktop.
