Fisher & Paykel CI365PTX1N Induction Cooktop

Yes, induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this surface.

The cooktop uses sensors to detect when a compatible pan is placed on a zone. It will only begin heating once it confirms the presence of cookware, which saves energy and prevents the surface from heating up accidentally.

Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface itself, spills are less likely to burn or bake onto the glass. You can generally wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or a standard ceramic glass cleaner once it has cooled.

Yes, it includes an integrated child lock feature that prevents the controls from being accidentally activated. Additionally, because the surface remains relatively cool to the touch, it is safer than traditional gas or electric radiant cooktops.

No, this specific model does not feature bridge elements. Each of the five zones operates independently, so you will need to use cookware that fits within the diameter of the individual heating zones.

The Touch&Slide controls allow for very granular adjustments, letting you move quickly from a low-temperature GentleHeat setting for delicate tasks like melting chocolate to the PowerBoost setting for rapid boiling.
