Key features of Philips infrared cooktops

Philips infrared cooktops are built to handle the full range of everyday Indian cooking — from pressure cooking and dal to rotis and deep frying. Here is what makes them a strong and trusted choice for Indian households:



  1. Infrared heating technology: Philips infrared cooktops heat cookware directly and evenly, giving faster and more reliable results than coil stoves. Unlike portable induction cooktops, they work with aluminium, clay, copper, and steel, so no new vessels are needed.
  2. Wide cookware compatibility: They support pressure cookers, clay pots, and aluminium kadais, making the move from gas stoves easy for all cooking styles.
  3. Precise temperature control: They allow cooks to adjust heat levels easily, from slow simmering for dal to high heat for frying, giving consistent results every time.
  4. Auto-shutoff and child lock: The cooktops turn off if overheating or when cookware is removed. A child lock keeps settings safe from accidental changes.
  5. Energy-efficient design: Using 1,500W to 2,100W, they save more electricity than coil stoves while still delivering strong cooking performance.
  6. Premium toughened glass surface: The glass top is scratch-resistant, spill-proof, and easy to clean, built to a higher standard than many competing brands.

Can I use any utensils on Philips infrared cooktop?

Yes — one of the biggest advantages of a Philips infrared cooktop over induction is that it works with all types of cookware. Unlike induction cooktops, which require magnetic-base vessels, Philips 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 Philips infrared cooktop — making the transition simpler and more affordable.

Is Philips infrared cooktop safe to use?

Yes — Philips infrared cooktops are safe for everyday Indian kitchen use. Key safety features include auto-shutoff when overheating is detected or cookware is removed, a child safety lock to prevent accidental setting changes, and a premium toughened crystal glass surface built to Philips' global safety standards. With no open flame and no gas leak risk, Philips infrared cooktops are a safer cooking alternative for Indian households — especially those with young children.

Does Philips infrared cooktop consume more electricity?

No — Philips infrared cooktops are designed to be energy-efficient. Most models consume between 1,500W and 2,100W, which is comparable to induction cooktops and significantly lower than conventional electric coil stoves. For Indian households cooking multiple times daily, a Philips 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.

Does Phillips infrared cooktop work during power fluctuations?

Philips infrared cooktops are designed to handle minor voltage fluctuations within the standard operating range — a practical consideration for Indian households where power supply can be inconsistent. However, significant voltage drops or surges can affect performance and may trigger the auto-shutoff safety feature. For areas with frequent severe power fluctuations, using a voltage stabiliser with your Philips infrared cooktop is recommended to protect the appliance and ensure consistent cooking performance.

Is Phillips infrared cooktop better than gas stove?

A Philips infrared cooktop offers several advantages over a traditional gas stove for Indian households. There is no open flame, no gas leak risk, and the toughened glass surface is easier to clean than gas stove grates. It also consumes less energy than running a gas burner at full flame. However, gas stoves work during power cuts — an important consideration for Indian households in areas with frequent outages. For everyday use with a stable power supply, a Philips infrared cooktop is a safer, cleaner, and more energy-efficient alternative to a gas stove.
