LG STUDIO Induction Cooktop

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, you must use cookware made of magnetic materials like cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this surface.

The flexible zone allows you to combine two cooking areas into one larger surface. This is ideal for accommodating oversized cookware like griddles, fish poachers, or large roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a standard circular burner.

Yes, through the LG ThinQ app, you can monitor your cooktop's status remotely. While you can check if burners are on or off, for safety reasons, you cannot turn the heat on remotely.

The black glass surface is generally easy to maintain because the cooktop itself doesn't get hot—only the cookware does. This prevents food spills from baking onto the surface, allowing you to wipe it clean with a damp cloth once the pan is removed.

Yes, it includes a built-in child lock feature. This prevents the touch controls from being accidentally activated, ensuring the cooktop cannot be turned on by curious hands.

If you have a compatible LG ventilation hood, the cooktop can communicate with it via Wi-Fi. This allows the hood to automatically turn on or adjust its fan speed based on the heat settings you are using on the cooktop.
