Glen infrared cooktop — Overview


In 2026, the Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 6,000 price range has made Glen infrared cooktops one of the most practical kitchen appliance upgrades for Indian households. Unlike traditional Glen gas stoves, Glen infrared cooktops heat cookware directly, cutting cooking time and electricity waste without an open flame. Features like auto-shutoff, child safety lock, and preset Indian cooking modes, which once came only on premium cooktops, are now standard across Glen's infrared range. This guide helps you find the right Glen infrared cooktop for your specific cooking needs, not just the most popular one.


What makes Glen infrared cooktops an even smarter buy in 2026 is how affordable they are to own. With Bajaj Finserv's financing options available across 1.5 lakh partner stores like Croma, Vijay Sales, and Reliance Digital in 4,000 cities, you can convert the cost into Easy EMIs with flexible tenures up to 60 months — making a kitchen upgrade easier on your budget than ever before.

What are the key features of Glen infrared cooktops?

Glen infrared cooktops are designed to handle the demands of everyday Indian cooking — from pressure cooking and deep frying to simmering and boiling. Here is what makes them a strong choice for Indian households:



  • Infrared heating technology: Glen infrared cooktops use infrared radiation to heat cookware directly and evenly — delivering faster and more consistent heating than traditional coil-based electric cooktops. Unlike portable induction cooktops, Glen infrared models work with all types of cookware including aluminium, clay, copper, and regular steel.
  • Stainless steel body: Most Glen infrared cooktop models feature a sturdy stainless steel outer body — more durable and heat-resistant than the plastic frames found on many competing budget cooktops. 
  • Touch controls and preset cooking modes: Glen infrared cooktops come with easy-to-use touch panels and preset modes for common Indian cooking tasks — including curry, roti, fry, boil, and milk settings. 
  • Auto-shutoff and child safety lock: Glen infrared cooktops include auto-shutoff when overheating is detected or when cookware is removed from the surface. The child safety lock prevents accidental changes to temperature or mode settings.
  • Energy-efficient design: Glen infrared cooktops typically consume between 1,600W and 2,000W — significantly more energy-efficient than conventional electric coil stoves and comparable to induction cooktops in everyday use.
  • Toughened glass cooking surface: The toughened crystal glass surface on Glen infrared cooktops is scratch-resistant, spill-proof, and easy to wipe clean after cooking. The smooth flat surface makes it far simpler to maintain than traditional gas stove grates.

How to choose the best Glen infrared cooktop?

The best Glen infrared cooktop depends on your family size and daily cooking needs. For families of two to four, the Glen CT 1014 IN 1800W at Rs. 2,999 is the most practical everyday choice. Large families cooking bigger meals daily should consider the Glen CT 1015 IN 2000W at Rs. 3,499 for faster heating. If portability matters, the Glen CT 1011 IN 1600W is the most compact and lightweight option in the range.

Can I use any utensils on a Glen infrared cooktop?

Yes — one of the biggest advantages of a Glen infrared cooktop over induction is that it works with all types of cookware. Unlike induction cooktops, which require magnetic-base vessels, Glen infrared cooktops are compatible with aluminium, steel, clay, copper, and regular non-stick pans. This means Indian households do not need to buy new cookware when switching from a gas stove to a Glen infrared cooktop — making the transition simpler and more affordable.

Is a Glen infrared cooktop better than an induction cooktop?

It depends on your cookware and cooking style. A Glen infrared cooktop works with all vessel types including aluminium and clay — making it more flexible for traditional Indian cooking. Induction cooktops are slightly more energy-efficient but require magnetic-base cookware. If you already own a mixed set of Indian kitchen vessels and do not want to replace them, a Glen infrared cooktop is the more practical and cost-effective choice for everyday Indian cooking.

Does a Glen infrared cooktop consume more electricity?

No — Glen infrared cooktops are designed to be energy-efficient. Most models consume between 1,600W and 2,000W, which is comparable to induction cooktops and significantly lower than conventional electric coil stoves. For Indian households cooking multiple times daily, a Glen infrared cooktop typically uses less electricity than keeping a gas stove running at full flame for the same duration — translating into meaningful savings on monthly electricity bills over time.

How to clean a Glen infrared cooktop?

Cleaning a Glen infrared cooktop is straightforward. Switch it off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the toughened crystal glass surface with a soft damp cloth to remove food spills and grease. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent on a non-abrasive sponge and wipe gently. Always avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbers as they can scratch the glass surface. Never immerse the cooktop in water or attempt to clean it while it is still warm.
