Our Favorite Induction Cooktops

With more brands offering these sleek cooktop alternatives and new induction technology, it’s no surprise induction cooktops are becoming more common in households today. They can be a much safer and more efficient option than your traditional freestanding stove or cooktop. Induction cooktops heat much faster and more precisely than a gas stove because of the electromagnetic field below the glass cooktop surface that transfers the current directly to the magnetic cookware.

The new technology in induction cooktops makes it an appliance we can get behind. The team at Appliance Educator has done the research on the best induction cooktops based on performance, safety, and price and is here to bring you our three favorite induction cooktops on the market!

GE Profile™ Built-In Touch Control Induction Cooktop

The GE Induction Cooktop is one of our favorites because of its advanced technology and safety features. It features 5 burners that all have cool-to-touch surfaces that are also easy to clean. These burners also feature rapid boil-which is the element's most powerful aspect. Additionally, the cooktop has smart burners that automatically turn off when the cookware is removed, so you never have to worry about leaving it on. Lastly, it detects the size of the pan so that it adjusts the heating area to only your pan. Although this cooktop is at a higher price point (at $1,899), it does come with many benefits that make the price worth it.

Bosch 800 Series Induction Cooktop

We love the Bosch cooktop because of its heating technology and efficiency. It features Autochef®, Bosch’s premium technology that regulates temperatures continuously during frying and adjusts as needed. The PreciseSelect® Premium controls offer desired cooking zones, power levels, and individual functions that are direct and easy to use for any chef. Lastly, the SpeedBoost® function on Bosch induction cooktops allows water to boil faster to save time on your cooking process. Although this cooktop has nice features, it is priced very high at $2,499.

ZLINE Induction Cooktop

The ZLINE Induction Cooktop is a favorite of ours because of its powerful performance, the various sizes available, and price. This cooktop offers a power boost mode that uses fast heat and a quick boil option that heats 50% faster than comparable cooktops. This powerful and convenient appliance offers a power-sharing option to transfer heat from one burner to another and a “keep warm mode” for enhanced cooking. The ZLINE cooktop comes equipped with safety features like it’s a residual heat indicator and manual and automatic locks. The cooktops come in a variety of sizes such as 24”, 30”, and 36” - perfect for tiny or compact homes and for larger homes. The ZLINE Induction Cooktop not only offers all the great qualities of the top induction cooktops but is priced very reasonably. Starting at just $674.95, you can’t beat the performance and price of this cooktop.
