This Series 9 cooktop is a joy to use, with the instant response and energy efficiency of induction technology. The surface around your cookware stays cool when you cook – preventing baked-on spills and making cleaning up a breeze. Less heat is wasted during induction cooking because only the cookware is heated, not the cooktop surface. This makes induction cooking more energy-efficient than electric or gas cooktops.

  • Immediate Response: Immediate heat response and extremely accurate temperature control
  • Safe Cooktop: Child and pet safe - cooktop remains cool to touch until a pot or pan is placed on the surface
  • Enhanced Features: PowerBoost and GentleHeat deliver either very high or very low heat, fast, perfect for specialized cooking tasks such as searing meat and melting chocolate
  • Instant Response: Go from a boil to a simmer in seconds, touch&Slide controls react immediately when you adjust the temperature so you don’t waste time in the kitchen
  • Safer Choice: Induction cooktops only start heating your pot or pan once you’ve placed it on the ceramic surface and stop as soon as you remove it

Q: What type of cookware is compatible with this induction cooktop, and are there any specific requirements or limitations?

A: Only induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base or core can be used with this induction cooktop. Suitable materials include stainless steel, aluminum and copper with a magnetic base or core, cast iron, steel, and enameled steel. Unsuitable materials include aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic or earthenware.

Q: How does induction cooking technology save energy compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops?

A: Induction cooking technology saves energy compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops by directly heating the cookware, minimizing heat loss. Since only the cookware is heated, the cooktop surface remains relatively cool, reducing wasted energy. This efficient heating method results in lower energy consumption during cooking.

Q: How responsive are the touch&Slide controls, and how does this impact the overall cooking process?

A: The touch&Slide controls on the Fisher & Paykel 30 Inch 4 Zone Induction Cooktop are highly responsive, allowing for immediate heat response and precise temperature control. This enhances the overall cooking process by enabling users to make quick and accurate adjustments to the heat settings, ensuring efficient and effective cooking.

This Fisher & Paykel cooktop addresses these challenges with its "Instant Response" feature, which provides immediate heat response and accurate temperature control, and its compatibility with induction-compatible cookware.

Q: Does the cooktop surface stay cool to the touch when not in use, and how does this affect the cleaning process?

A: Yes, the cooktop surface stays cool to the touch when not in use, preventing baked-on spills and making cleaning easier. This is because induction cooking only heats the cookware, not the cooktop surface, resulting in less heat waste and a more energy-efficient cooking method compared to electric or gas cooktops.
