Cooktops Buying Guide

There was a time when all homeowners seeking modern kitchen appliances invested in stainless steel cook tops for their kitchens. For Indian kitchens, this still remains true for a large section of the population with the stainless steel models being preferred for their durability and practicality. However, with reputed household appliance brands offering new technologies and stylish designs for cook tops, buyers are faced with the tough task of choosing the best one for their needs. Regardless of individual preferences, certain points serve as a basic guide for buying a cook top, be it your first one, or an upgrade on your existing one. Here’s a practical guide on how to bring home the best cook top:

1.      First consider how much space is available in your kitchen to place the cook top. You might be wanting a Cooktops with 4 burners but it will be impractical if the kitchen counter only has space to accommodate 2 burners. One great space saving option would also be to invest in a built-in cook top.

2.      The style of cooking and the amount of cooking you do must also factor in during the selection of a cook top. Say for instance if you prefer Asian style cooking, select a cook top with a strong wok burner. For those who cook using simmer techniques, burners with low heat settings are preferable.

3.      Consider energy efficiency when buying a cook top. Induction cookers are considered to be the best versions so far as energy efficiency is concerned but even within individual types of gas cook tops, energy efficiency ratings may vary.

4.      Choose a cook top which is designed for efficiency and practicality. Suitable space between the burners will ensure that you can use all the burners at once without juggling. Proper layout of burners will also ensure safety during usage and ease of cleaning.

5.      Where the aesthetics are concerned, you can buy any style you want depending on your budget. Stainless steel gas cook tops are the cheapest, while toughened glass cooktops and ceramic top stoves may be priced higher, as will be induction cook tops.
