Best portable induction cooktops

Portable induction cooktops are great for people who want an extra hot plate using quick, effective technology. We lab test and compare models from Breville, Ikea, Tefal, Westinghouse and more to help you find the best hot plates for your kitchen.

Our test results will tell you which cooktops:

• are best at low-heat, turn-down and high-heat cooking
• are fastest at boiling water
• have automatic heat-up functionality
• are easiest to use.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
