Some of your FAQs...

how does induction work and why is it better than gas or standard electric?
Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware, making them faster, more energy-efficient, and safer than traditional gas or electric stoves. Heat is generated only where the pan makes contact, reducing wasted energy and providing precise temperature control making them ideal for delicate cooking tasks such as melting chocolate, or simmering sauces. 

​They are also infinitely easier to clean, which we love!

do you need special cookware for an induction cooktop?
Yes, induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base (such as stainless steel or cast iron). You can check compatibility by holding a magnet to the bottom of your pots and pans—if it sticks, they will work on an induction cooktop.

are induction cooktops really more energy efficient?
Yes. Since heat is generated directly in the pan, less energy is wasted compared to other cooktops. This also becomes noticeable in the summer months as induction cooktops do not generate heat in the kitchen, maintaining a cool working environment - ideal for restaurants and cafe's.


are induction cooktop's safe?
Yes. Because the surface of an induction cooktop doesn't get hot, you or your curious child can touch it without getting burned.
Additionally, studies show that induction cooking results in better air quality compared to gas, as it doesn't produce combustion by-products like nitrogen oxides or carbon monoxide.

are there any rebates for induction cooktops?
Yes. Induction cooktops are eligible for 2 VEEC's through the State Government's Victorian Energy Upgrade program when a household is disconnecting from a gas or LPG cooktop. Goulburn Murray Solar Savers providers are accredited providers through the VEU program, and supply approved products.
