Gas VS induction cooktop – which is better?

For those renovating a kitchen or looking to replace their cooking area – should they go for gas or an induction top?

The answer really depends on your cooking needs. Here’s the case for both options:

• These for people who are into their heavy duty cooking
• You can use any kind of pan on a gas top
• You have a visual representation of the heat, and its strength
• You can baste on gas tops, not on inductions

• These are great for big families who need efficiency when it comes to cooking (hungry kids after sports practise etc!)
• Super easy to clean, you just spray and wipe
• The slimline design gives you more space as you can use the area as cooktop and benchtop
• However you will need specific types of pans to avoid scratching the glass

Everyone has their own opinions but for us, we love induction cooktops. They are sleek and aesthetically pleasing and complement any kind of benchtop.

However, you can get gas cooktops that look great too! If you want to learn more about how to design your perfect kitchen, cooktop and all, check out our Kitchen Design Masterclass.
