What to Consider Before Buying a Five Burner Induction Cooktop?

A 5 burner induction cooktop is a decent investment for your kitchen, so it’s important to know a few things before you go on and buy one.

Distance Between the Cooking Zones

Try and buy the induction that has but a decent distance between the cooking zones. If the cooking zones are too close to each other, it may prevent you from using cookware such as a bigger pan or a wok.

Timer and Safety Features

These days, most of the induction cooktops come with a timer and safety features but still make sure you double-check that the one you are planning to buy has it.

Lately, I have been using the timer feature a lot and it allows me to put something on the cooktop without worrying about my food getting burned or electricity getting wasted

Warranty and After Sales Service

While I wouldn’t worry about the aftersales service if I’m using a single zone or even double zone induction cooktop, but a 5 burner induction cooktop is quite an investment.

So make sure you research a little bit about the warranty and the after-sales service of the stove that you are planning to buy. See if there is a possibility of the company getting the cooktop repaired on site. Also, spend some time looking at the feedback people have on the aftersales service of that company.
