Best Induction Cooktop Australia 2025
Induction cooktops have become the standard choice for new kitchen builds and renovations across Australia, offering faster boiling, more precise temperature control, safer surfaces and easier cleaning than any alternative. This guide covers the best induction cooktops available in Australia in 2025 across all size and budget categories.
What to Look For in an Induction Cooktop
- Number of zones: 2-zone (compact), 4-zone (standard 60cm), 5-zone (90cm) or flex/induction zones that merge for large pans
- Power levels: More power levels (9–17) means finer temperature control, especially for simmering
- Boost function: Provides maximum power to a zone for rapid boiling
- Timer per zone: Lets you set cooking time per zone independently
- Bridge/flex zones: Two zones that merge to accommodate large griddle pans or woks
- Touch vs slider controls: Touch is more common; sliders offer intuitive real-time control

Cookware Compatibility Reminder
Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware. Test your existing pots and pans with a fridge magnet: if it sticks to the base, the cookware is induction compatible. Cast iron, most stainless steel and induction-specific pans all work. Pure copper, aluminium and older non-magnetic stainless steel do not.
