Key features of Prestige infrared cooktops

Prestige 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: Prestige infrared cooktops heat pots and pans 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 you can keep using your existing cookware.
  2. Wide cookware compatibility: They support pressure cookers, clay pots, aluminium kadais, and more, making the move from gas stoves smooth for all cooking styles.
  3. Touch controls and preset modes: Easy touch panels with preset options like curry, roti, fry, boil, and milk make everyday cooking quicker and more consistent, especially for first-time users switching from gas.
  4. Auto-shutoff and child lock: The cooktops turn off automatically if overheating or when cookware is removed. A child lock keeps settings safe from accidental changes.
  5. Energy-efficient design: With power use between 1,200W and 2,000W, they save electricity compared to coil stoves while still delivering strong cooking performance.
  6. Toughened glass surface: The crystal glass top is scratch-resistant, spill-proof, and easy to clean, making daily maintenance simple for busy kitchens.

Which is the best Prestige infrared induction cooktop?

The best Prestige infrared cooktop depends on your family size and cooking needs. For small families of two to four, the Prestige PIC 20 1600W at Rs. 1,999 is the most practical everyday choice. Large families cooking bigger meals daily should consider the Prestige PIC 23 2000W at Rs. 2,799 for faster heating. For a premium touch experience, the Prestige PIC 62 2000W at Rs. 3,499 is the top pick.

Can I use all utensils on Prestige infrared induction?

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

Is Prestige infrared induction energy efficient?

Yes — Prestige infrared cooktops are designed to be energy efficient. Most models consume between 1,200W and 2,000W — comparable to induction cooktops and significantly lower than conventional electric coil stoves. For Indian households cooking multiple times daily, a Prestige 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 prestige infrared cooktop consume more electricity?

No — Prestige infrared cooktops are among the more energy-efficient cooking options available for Indian households. Models like the Prestige PIC 20 consume 1,600W, which is comparable to induction cooktops and significantly lower than conventional electric coil stoves. For everyday Indian cooking tasks like boiling water, making dal, or frying snacks, a Prestige infrared cooktop uses less electricity than running a gas stove at full flame for the same duration.

How to clean a prestige infrared cooktop?

Cleaning a Prestige 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.
