How do combination cooktops work?
Also known as fusion cooktops and combi cooktops, combination cooktops represent the pinnacle of cooking technology.
By integrating the versatility of induction cooktops with the power and control of gas cooktops into a single appliance, you get the best of both worlds.
At the heart of combination cooktops are advanced engineering and intelligent design. The induction portion utilises electromagnetic fields to directly heat the cookware, providing swift and consistent heat distribution. On the other hand, gas burners offer an instant response and can handle high-heat cooking.
Together, these elements create a seamless cooking experience that will elevate your culinary skills to new heights.

What are the benefits of combination cooktops?
Ready to experience culinary innovation for yourself? Here are the top five benefits of having combination cooktops and the features to look out for when getting one.
1. Experience unparalleled precision
Say goodbye to guesswork in the kitchen! Combination cooktops enable precise temperature control, allowing you to sear meat at the perfect temperature, simmer sauces to perfection, and melt chocolate without the risk of scorching.
Look for models with responsive touch controls that give you effortless precision over your cooking. You’ll also want models with a wide range of temperature settings to fine-tune the heat to match your culinary needs.
2. Ensure lightning-fast heating
Time is of the essence when you're in the kitchen. Combination cooktops offer rapid heating capabilities with induction elements, reducing preheating time significantly. Additionally, the gas burners provide immediate flame ignition, giving you the power to cook without delay.
Seek models with booster functions for ultra-quick heating when you need it most. Make sure they come with gas burners with high heat output and instant ignition to up your cooking game.
3. Enjoy versatility
Combination cooktops offer you a diverse range of cooking options for culinary explorers. From delicate simmering on induction to intense heat for wok cooking on gas, these cooktops have got you covered.
Look for models with multiple heating zones and various burner sizes to accommodate all your cookware. You can also opt for bridge elements that combine two separate heating zones to create a larger cooking area. This is perfect when you’re working with griddles and elongated cookware — providing even more versatility.
4. Easy cleanup and safety
Hassle-free post-cooking cleanup is a game-changer for every cook. With induction cooking, only the cookware heats up, leaving the surface cool to the touch, preventing accidental burns. Gas burners with sealed surfaces make cleaning a breeze.
Look for combination cooktops with smooth, easy-to-clean glass surfaces for effortless housekeeping. You’ll also want sealed gas burners to prevent spills and drips from seeping into your cooktop’s interior. Make sure to go for models with child lock safety features to prevent accidents whenever you’re in the kitchen.
5. Timeless aesthetics
Sleek and modern, combination cooktops effortlessly blend into any kitchen design. The combination of induction glass and elegant gas burners creates a sophisticated and polished look — elevating your kitchen.
Choose models with seamless designs that integrate with your countertops. To take things to the next level — opt for flush-mounted controls and illuminated knobs for a touch of luxury.
What should I know before getting a combination cooktop?
Before you take the plunge into the world of fusion cooking, consider your kitchen setup, power requirements, and ventilation needs. Ensure you have the appropriate cookware that works with induction technology, and check the available space for gas and induction installation. Consulting with a kitchen appliance expert will help you make an informed decision and choose the best combination cooktop for your culinary needs.
