Cooktop Installation

Are you sick of cooking with a gas cooktop and looking for a change? Or are you renovating your kitchen? Whatever the reason, Russo Electrical can help you replace your gas cooktop with an induction one. Induction cooktops have steadily been becoming more popular in modern kitchens across Australia, and for good reason. They are safer, warm up faster and offer a more precise way of cooking.

If you’re looking for a new cooktop installation or to replace your gas cooktop with an induction cooktop, look no further than Russo Electrical. Our experienced and professional team has years of experience installing all kinds of stovetops, including gas, induction, and electrical.

What Is An Induction Cooktop?

Although it resembles an electric stovetop, an induction cooktop works differently. It uses electromagnetic energy (electrical and magnetic forces) to turn compatible pots and pans into their own heat sources to cook food.

The cooktop has a copper coil under its glass, which heats up and is surrounded by a magnetic field. When compatible induction cookware is placed on the stovetop, this magnetic force creates electrical fields inside the cookware, causing it to heat up and use its own heat source to cook food.

The Benefits of An Induction Cooktop

The benefits of an induction cooktop include:

No Heat Wasted

As induction stovetops use a magnetic field to heat compatible cookware, it means that there is no excess heat that is wasted, saving you money on your bills.

Safer

If an induction cooktop is switched on without cookware being on it, it won’t heat up, as there is nothing present to create the heat. The heat will turn off as soon as the cookware is removed from the stovetop. This feature makes it safer than other stovetops and prevents accidental burns.

Easy to Clean

Thanks to its clear glass surface, an induction cooktop is easy to clean; you only need mild detergent or stove cleaner and a paper towel or cloth to wipe it down quickly.

Faster to Heat Up and Quicker Cooking Times

Induction stovetops heat up quicker than electric or gas cooktops, as you don’t have to wait for the heating energy to transfer to the pan.

Faster heating times also mean a quicker cooking time. Studies show that induction cooktops can boil water at half the time a gas stovetop can.

Energy Efficient

Induction stovetops are up to 10% more energy-efficient than electric stovetops and three times more energy-efficient than gas stovetops, as they only heat up the cookware, not the surrounding area.

More Precise Cooking and Temperature Control

Food is cooked more evenly and precisely on induction stovetops. There is less risk of burning your food or undercooking something. Induction cooktops allow for accurate temperature control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Induction cooktops use a magnetic field to transfer the heat directly to compatible cookware. When the cookware is placed on the induction cooktop, the magnetic field creates an electric current inside the cookware, which then warms up and uses the heat to cook the food.
The best cookware you can use on induction cooktops includes cookware with magnetic materials, including cast iron, steel and some stainless steel pots and pans.
The best way to test if your pots and pans are compatible with an induction cooktop is to test them with a magnet. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, then it should be fine to use on an induction cooktop.
The cooktop has hot surface indicators that warn you if the cooktop is still too hot to touch. The indicator will only turn off when the cooktop is cool enough to touch.
No, Induction cooktops use much less electricity than other stovetops. Around 90% of the electricity generated is used during the cooking process, making it the most energy-efficient stovetop option.
