{"title":"Westinghouse Induction Cooktops","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWestinghouse Induction Cooktops for Australian Kitchens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWestinghouse induction cooktops use electromagnetic induction to heat compatible cookware directly, producing faster heat response than gas and a completely flat ceramic glass surface that wipes clean easily. The Westinghouse induction range covers 60cm and 90cm widths with four and five zone configurations, suited to both standard and larger Australian kitchen benchtops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Induction Cooking Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInduction cooktops generate heat within the base of compatible cookware rather than heating the cooktop surface itself, which means the surface around the pot stays cooler to the touch and spills do not bake on. The response to temperature changes is faster and more precise than gas or ceramic radiant, making it well suited to tasks that require accurate heat control like simmering sauces or melting chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Cookware\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInduction cooking requires ferromagnetic cookware, meaning the base must contain iron or steel. Cast iron, stainless steel with a magnetic base, and enamelled iron all work. Aluminium, copper, and ceramic cookware will not work unless they have a purpose-made induction-compatible base layer. To test whether existing cookware is compatible, hold a magnet to the base — if it sticks, it will work on induction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to replace my cookware for an induction cooktop?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly if your existing cookware is not induction-compatible. Cast iron and most modern stainless steel pots and pans work on induction. Older aluminium and copper cookware does not unless it has a bonded steel base. A quick test with a fridge magnet on the base of each pot tells you whether it is induction-compatible before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs induction or gas better for Australian kitchens?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eInduction offers faster heat response, more precise temperature control, easier cleaning, and no combustion products in the kitchen air. Gas offers the visual feedback of a flame and works with any cookware. Induction requires a dedicated circuit at the correct amperage, which may involve an electrician if the kitchen wiring is older. The right choice depends on cooking style, kitchen wiring, and whether you already have compatible cookware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes an induction cooktop need a dedicated electrical circuit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Most 60cm induction cooktops require a dedicated 20 amp circuit, and 90cm models may require 32 amps or more. This must be installed by a licensed electrician. If you are replacing a gas cooktop with induction, factor in the cost of electrical work when comparing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"westinghouse-30cm-2-burner-induction-cooktop-whi323be","title":"Westinghouse 30cm 2 Burner Induction Cooktop
