Best cooktop
I have this cooktop recently bought and been using it for the past few weeks. The Lt burner is very big and can cook the bigger pots easily , also the other burners are good. It has a stainless finish and easy to use, no issues so far.

Westinghouse 60cm S/S Gas Cooktop
Product is great. Looks good though. Need to keep on top of the polish on the stainless steel as it shows a few wipe marks - doesnt affect performance.

At a glance
The Westinghouse WHG648SC is a 60cm four-burner gas cooktop designed for everyday family cooking with the added benefit of a 17MJ/h dual valve wok burner for high-heat dishes. It suits buyers who want sturdy cast iron trivets, easy ignition and flame failure protection. A fair limitation is that it offers four burners, so larger households may prefer a wider cooktop for more cooking space.

- Stir-frying
- Searing
- Simmering Sauces
- Standard Kitchen Upgrades
Where it works best
- Family Kitchens
- Apartment Kitchens

- Standard 60cm Benchtop Spaces
Who it’s for
- Home Cooks
- Small Families
- Couples
- Renovators
- Buyers Replacing an Existing 60cm Gas Cooktop
Things to consider
It delivers strong everyday performance, but shoppers wanting extra room for larger cookware or frequent multi-dish cooking may prefer a 75cm or 90cm cooktop with more burners.
Home chef suitability score
8/10 - strong wok heat, solid pan support and precise flame control suit confident everyday cooking.
Kitchen space fit
Best suited to standard 60cm kitchen layouts and replacement installations needing a compact four-burner cooktop.
Easy cleaning rating
7/10 - the flat stainless steel surface is easy to wipe, though cast iron trivets still need removal for deeper cleaning.
Simmer control performance
8/10 - dual valve control helps deliver more precise low-flame adjustment for sauces and gentle cooking.
Installation flexibility
Good flexibility with natural gas setup and an included LP gas conversion kit for licensed installation.
Key benefits
- 17MJ/h wok burner: Delivers strong heat for stir-frying, fast boiling and searing.
- Dual valve flame control: Gives finer adjustment from gentle simmering to high heat.
- Cast iron trivets: Provides stable support for pots and pans during daily cooking.
- Stainless steel surface: Offers a durable cooking surface that suits modern kitchens and is simple to wipe down.
- Electronic under-knob ignition: Starts burners quickly without needing a separate lighter.
- Flame failure protection: Automatically cuts the gas supply if a flame goes out unexpectedly.
- Front knob controls: Keeps burner adjustment straightforward and easy to reach.
- LP conversion kit included: Supports installation flexibility when set up by a licensed tradesperson.
Q: Will WHG648SC fit a standard 60cm benchtop replacement space?
A: Yes, in many standard 60cm replacements. The cooktop itself is 595 W x 530 D x 55 H mm, so the benchtop opening, clearance underneath and gas connection position still need to suit before installation by a licensed gas fitter.
Q: Can the wok burner also handle low simmer cooking?
A: Yes. WHG648SC uses dual valve flame control on the 17 MJ/h wok burner, so it is designed to move from strong heat to finer low-heat adjustment. That makes it more flexible for sauces and gentle cooking than a high-heat-only burner.
Q: Does this cooktop support LPG gas or natural gas?
A: Yes, LPG use is supported because an LP gas conversion kit is included. That gives flexibility where bottled gas is used, but the cooktop must be converted and installed by a licensed tradesperson so the gas type matches your home setup.
Q: Do the cast iron trivets make cleaning more difficult?
A: Not necessarily. The trivets are removable, so the stainless steel surface is easier to wipe once they are lifted off, but the cast iron pieces still need separate cleaning after greasy or boiled-over cooking, which adds a little more work than a smooth glass top.
Q: What happens if the flame goes out during cooking?
A: WHG648SC has flame failure protection, which shuts off the gas if a burner flame goes out unexpectedly. It is a safety cut-off, not an automatic relight function, so the burner needs to be turned off and ignited again before you keep cooking.
Q: Are all four burners usable with larger pots and pans?
A: Yes, for normal family cooking. The flat cast iron trivets give cookware stable support, but this is still a 60cm four-burner layout, so using several wide pans at once can feel tight compared with a broader cooktop with more spacing.
