Cooktops

Turn up the heat with the perfect stovetop

Selecting the ideal kitchen cooktop is all about finding the right balance of functionality, efficiency, and style. Whether you're drawn to the precision of induction, the control of gas, or the reliability of glass ceramic, each option brings its own advantages to the table. Here’s a closer look to help guide your decision.

Induction Cooktop

Harnessing the power of electromagnetic energy, an induction cooktop heats your pots and pans directly—while the surface itself stays cool to the touch. This means fewer stubborn, baked-on spills and a safer cooking experience. Plus, since heat is only generated when compatible cookware is detected, induction cooktops are remarkably energy-efficient, keeping electricity bills in check.

Gas Cooktop

A favourite among professional chefs, gas cooktops offer instant heat and precise flame control, ensuring even cooking every time. Whether you’re simmering a delicate sauce or searing a steak, gas delivers the responsiveness you need. IKEA gas cooktops come equipped with electric ignition, eliminating the hassle of matches or lighters. Sturdy cast iron supports keep cookware stable, even during high-energy culinary creations. 

Glass-Ceramic Cooktop

For those who prefer a classic approach, glass-ceramic cooktops provide steady, reliable performance. Unlike induction, these hotplates use electricity to heat the entire cooking surface, meaning they’re compatible with any type of cookware.

Got enough space to hobnob in the kitchen?

Before choosing a cooktop, consider the size of your kitchen and available counter space. Where will the cooktop go, and how much room do you need for prep work? The right choice depends on your cooking habits, household needs, and the space you have to work with.

If your kitchen is on the smaller side, a two-burner cooktop might be your best bet. With just enough room for two pots or pans, it’s compact yet capable—perfect for whipping up hearty meals without overwhelming your workspace. Even in a cozy kitchen, you can still cook enough to keep the whole family satisfied.

For those with a spacious kitchen or a kitchen island, a four-burner cooktop is a game-changer. With multiple burners at your disposal, you can have several dishes cooking simultaneously—ideal for hosting, meal prepping, or simply accommodating multiple cooks in the kitchen. Whether you're tackling an elaborate multi-course feast or just making a quick bite before soccer practice, a four-burner setup ensures you’re always covered.
