Cooktops have been a topic of hot debate since the dawn of the modern kitchen. Many amateur chefs are loyal to gas, while others have embraced induction as their chosen tool for cooking delicious meals for the whole family. But which one is better?

If you’re building a new kitchen (or considering renovating your current one), chances are you may have stumbled into this debate. Before you decide what to buy, it’s important to understand how these cooktops work, plus the pros and cons of each. Who knows – you might even try something new based on what you learn!

Whether you’re jumping into a full kitchen renovation or upgrading your appliances for a mini kitchen makeover, there’s no doubt you’ve pondered the big questions: What are the best kitchen appliances? And, if I pay more for high-end kitchen appliances, do I really get more in terms of features and functionality? 

As a kitchen appliances expert, I’m constantly asked these questions because people want to buy once, and buy well – particularly when it comes to big-ticket items that will keep their household running smoothly.

So, here’s my top tip. When planning your kitchen reno budget, prioritise your dream kitchen appliances. Put them at the top of your list. And keep in mind that your family’s dream appliance doesn’t necessarily have to be a high-end purchase. You might be pleasantly surprised at the price tag.

If there are features you want (cue the jet-drying dishwasher, double wall oven and custom fridge), work them into the budget at the planning stage. Life is too short for regrets. Plus, if you love these appliances, so will future buyers when and if the time comes to put your home on the market.
