Pigeon infrared cooktops - Overview

In 2026, the Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 4,500 price range has made Pigeon infrared cooktops one of the most accessible kitchen appliance upgrades for Indian households. Unlike traditional gas stoves, Pigeon induction and infrared cooktops heat cookware directly — cutting cooking time and electricity waste. Features like auto-shutoff, child safety lock, and preset Indian cooking modes, which once came only on premium cooktops, are now standard across Pigeon's entire infrared range. This guide helps you find the right Pigeon infrared cooktop for your specific cooking needs, not just the most popular one.

What makes this an even smarter buy is that you can make your purchase much more affordable with Bajaj Finserv's financing options. Shop across 1.5 lakh+ partner stores like Croma, Vijay Sales, and Reliance Digital in 4,000+ cities, and convert the cost into Easy EMIs with flexible tenures up to 60 months.

You can also check your loan eligibility online in advance for a faster in-store experience.

Pigeon infrared cooktops are designed for everyday Indian cooking — from dal and sabzi to rotis and fried snacks. Here is what makes them stand out:

• Infrared heating technology: Pigeon infrared cooktops use infrared radiation to heat cookware directly — delivering faster heating than traditional coil-based cooktops. Unlike portable induction cooktops, infrared models work with all types of cookware including aluminium, clay, and regular steel — giving Indian households more flexibility.
• Touch controls and preset cooking modes: Most Pigeon infrared cooktop models feature easy-to-use touch panels with preset cooking modes for common Indian recipes — including curry, roti, fry, and milk boil settings. This removes the guesswork from cooking and ensures consistent results every time.
• Auto-shutoff and child safety lock: Pigeon infrared cooktops come with built-in auto-shutoff when overheating is detected or when cookware is removed. The child safety lock prevents accidental setting changes — making these cooktops a safer choice for households with young children.
• Energy-efficient design: Pigeon infrared cooktops consume significantly less electricity than traditional gas stoves or conventional electric cooktops. With power consumption typically between 1,000W and 2,000W, they help Indian households reduce their electricity bills without compromising on cooking performance.
• Compact and portable: Pigeon infrared cooktops are slim, lightweight, and easy to store or carry — ideal for studio apartments, hostel rooms, office pantries, and travel use. Their compact footprint means they fit easily on any kitchen counter.
• Durable crystal glass surface: The toughened crystal glass cooking surface on Pigeon infrared cooktops is scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and long-lasting — making everyday maintenance simple even after heavy daily use.
