Shop Affordable Cooktops

Our Cooktops collection helps you compare cheap cooktops suited to Australian kitchens, offering electric, gas, and induction options for everyday cooking. Many shoppers complete their setup with ovens, range hoods, and kitchen appliances to build a functional and efficient cooking zone. With reviewers often praising great value for money and fast delivery, finding cheap cooktops that match your cooking style and kitchen layout is simple.

How to choose the right cooktop

Selecting the best cooktop depends on your preferred cooking method, available kitchen space, and power type. Induction cooktops provide fast, energy efficient heating, while gas cooktops offer precise temperature control for home cooks who prefer flame cooking. Electric cooktops remain a reliable and affordable option for many Australian households. Even cheap cooktops can deliver excellent performance when built with quality burners, sturdy trivets, and responsive controls. Shoppers upgrading their kitchen often browse the kitchen to align sinks, cabinets, and appliances with their new cooking surface.

Cooktop materials and features to compare

Different cooktops offer unique benefits depending on their materials and design. Ceramic surfaces are easy to clean, while stainless steel provides a durable, professional look. Induction models offer safety advantages because the surface stays cool around the cooking zone. Features like residual heat indicators, child locks, and multiple burner sizes help tailor the cooktop to your cooking habits. For quick food preparation or reheating, many kitchens also rely on microwaves as part of a complete cooking system.

Building a practical cooking station

A well designed kitchen layout ensures your cooktop is paired with suitable ventilation and workspace. Rangehood installation helps manage steam, oils, and odours during cooking, while wide bench space makes chopping and prepping ingredients more efficient. Sturdy kitchen benches provide additional room for pots, pans, and small appliances, supporting a streamlined workflow. Consider placing your cooktop near your oven or food prep area for a more intuitive cooking environment.

Helpful accessories for better cooking

The right accessories can elevate your cooking experience:

  • Heat resistant utensils

  • Heavy based pots and pans

  • Spill mats for easier cleaning

  • Splatter guards

  • Magnetic induction friendly cookware

These items support efficient meal preparation and help maintain your cooktop’s condition.

Which cooktop type suits your cooking style and kitchen setup?

Choose based on how you cook and what your kitchen can support. If you want fast heat control, compare options that prioritise responsiveness, while other styles may suit steady simmering and simple cleaning. Use the product listing to confirm the cooktop type, control layout, and any cookware requirements, then match it to your day to day cooking.

What cut-out and bench measurements should you confirm before buying?

Confirm both the cooktop’s overall size and the required cut out measurements listed for installation. Measure your existing bench opening if you are replacing a unit, and check the depth of the benchtop and cabinet space below for clearance. Also note the location of nearby drawers, splashbacks, and power or gas connections so the cut out suits your kitchen layout.

Which burner or zone sizes and power ratings matter most?

Look at how many pots you use at once and what sizes you cook with most. Larger burners or zones can suit bigger pans, while smaller zones help with simmering and smaller cookware. Power ratings can affect heat up speed, so compare them where listed, but also check the layout so pans do not crowd each other. Confirm minimum pan sizes or zone pairing rules if stated.

What installation is required for a cooktop, and who can do it?

Cooktop installation is usually a fixed-fit job, not a plug-in setup. The listing should indicate whether it needs electrical hardwiring, a standard plug, or a gas connection, and whether any fittings are supplied. Many shoppers use Airtasker to organise installation, but the work itself should be completed by a qualified tradesperson, especially for gas or hardwired electrical.
