Different types of combination cooktops 

Gas and induction combination cooktops

A combination gas and induction cooktop combines the rapid heating and precise temperature control of induction with the traditional, direct heat of gas burners. This allows you to quickly adjust temperatures with gas and enjoy the energy efficiency of induction. Induction zones provide fast, energy-efficient cooking, while gas burners offer instant heat and precise control. 

Gas and electric combination cooktops

This type of cooktop integrates gas burners with electric elements, offering the versatility of both quick heat adjustments and even cooking temperatures. Gas burners allow for quick temperature changes and high-heat cooking, while electric elements provide consistent, even heat distribution. 

Induction and electric combination cooktops

These cooktops combine the precision and speed of induction cooking with the consistent heating of electric elements. Induction zones offer rapid heating and energy efficiency, while electric zones provide steady, even heating. 

Modular combination cooktops

Modular cooktops offer the ultimate in customisation, allowing you to combine different types of cooking elements such as gas, electric, induction, and even speciality elements like grills or griddles. This flexibility lets you tailor the cooktop to your personal cooking preferences, mixing and matching different cooking technologies. 

The advantages of a high-quality combination cooktop

A high-quality combination cooktop in New Zealand offers numerous benefits, combining different elements to provide versatile cooking options and precise control. These cooktops allow for quick heat adjustments with gas, even heat distribution with electric elements and rapid heating with energy-efficient induction. By integrating multiple cooking technologies into one appliance, they save space, making them perfect for compact kitchens. Additionally, they often feature advanced safety mechanisms like auto shut-off and cool-to-touch surfaces, enhancing kitchen safety. This blend of features makes cooking more efficient, flexible, and enjoyable, meeting a wide variety of culinary needs.

How to choose the right combination cooktop

When selecting a combination cooktop in New Zealand, first determine the best mix of gas, electric, and induction elements to suit your needs. If you choose gas, ensure your home can be plumbed for it. Consider the cooktop's energy efficiency, as this will affect your future utility bills. For households with young children, prioritise safety features like auto shut-off and child locks. Ensure the cooktop size fits your kitchen space and that it is user-friendly. Finally, assess the ease of use and maintenance, and verify the availability of compatible cookware, especially if you choose an induction combination model.

Other cooktops that might be of interest to you

When choosing a high-quality cooktop in New Zealand, it’s important to consider all your options before making a final decision. For example, for those who already have a gas line plumbed into the home, a gas cooktop probably makes the most sense. On the other hand, if energy efficiency is your top priority, then a brand-new induction cooktop might be the best-suited choice. Last but not least, if you want something smooth, sleek and easy to clean, a stylish ceramic cooktop will be hard to beat.
