for the Process
Cooking is not simply the difference between raw and cooked. While cooked food is the destination, cooking is about the journey – how to apply heat that takes food from soft to crunchy, bland to flavourful, muddled to perfectly combined.
Choosing the right heat source for your ingredients and cooking technique is the key to developing deeper flavours, perfect textures and bringing together each component on a plate harmoniously.
From simmering to searing, surface cooking delivers heat at the perfect rate to develop and concentrate flavours, or create new flavours that make a dish more complex.
The Right Cooktop
The perfect combination of flavours, textures and aromas in a dish is seldom achieved in a single pan at a set heat.
We rely on precision at both high and low temperatures to create components that complement and contrast with one another perfectly. That control is what allows us to fry ground beef to a rich brown, while gently simmering béchamel sauce to come together at the same time for the perfect lasagne.
Whether induction or gas, the right cooktop is the one that gives you exceptional control.
Reduce
Reducing a sauce is a balance of time and temperature – evaporating water to deepen flavours without overheating and breaking down the more volatile oils that contribute subtle notes. With remarkable precision at low temperatures, induction cooktops are the choice of the aspiring saucier.
Stirfry
Wok cooking calls for heat that rises up the side of the wok while being concentrated at the bottom. Gas cooktops provide the perfect balance of concentrated and residual heat for wok cooking.
Sear
Searing requires intense heat to bring oils and fats to temperature in an instant. Flash fry with gas or induction cooktops to melt fats and seal the exterior so steak cooks from the inside.
Conduction
Whether a pork steak sizzling on a skillet or chocolate melting in a saucepan, conduction happens when food is heated through direct contact with a hot surface.
Conduction is one of the most flexible methods of cooking, both in the techniques it brings to a chef’s repertoire and in the results it delivers.
From a gentle and slow confit to more intense methods such as frying and searing, conduction is where cooking is elevated into an artform.
SmartZones
Choose from induction cooktops with dedicated elements, or include SmartZones for the ultimate in flexibility. SmartZones allow induction elements to be bridged together into zones, for meals that require larger cookware.
Combine Dominoes
Create the perfect cooktop configuration to match the way you want to cook, with combination cooktops. Bring together cooktops with different power sources, set up side-by-side or distribute around your kitchen to create specialised cooking zones.
Innovative Induction
Induction brings the perfect balance of power and control to the cooking suite, with elegant tempered glass to complement the design aesthetic of the modern kitchen.
Its speed and accuracy make induction perfect for gently cooking delicate foods such as eggs, dairy, fish, and shellfish so they retain their moisture and texture.
Powerful at its top end, it is ideal for searing meat to brown the outside while leaving the inside pink for the perfect medium rare steak.
Precision and Control
Through the use of electromagnetism, induction cooktops accelerate the molecules within the pan, generating heat. Because all the energy is being generated in the pan rather than in the cooktop, the pan will get to temperature faster, meaning shorter cooking times.
This also gives more precise temperatures, with heat that can be dialled up and down quickly with immediate response.
Cool to the Touch
Because it uses alternating magnetic currents to create heat from within the pan, the induction cooktop remains cool to the touch until cookware is placed on it.
Accurate
Induction cooking gives precision of heat across the temperature spectrum. From low temperatures for a gentle and controlled simmer, to even searing of proteins, induction is the pinnacle of accuracy in cooktops.
Easy to Clean
With a seamless glass surface, and no gaps or trivets, induction cooktops are quick and simple to clean. Because no heat is generated in the cooktop itself, food will not cook onto the surface.
Cook Instinctively
Cooking above a flame invokes something deep in our senses, something that is not just learned but felt.
We know it instinctively when we feel the heat from the burner, see the colour and size of the flame, and hear the sound of food as it cooks in the pan.
For chefs around the world, cooking with gas allows them the freedom to follow traditional cooking techniques, or to innovate and create new dishes and flavours. Guided by their senses, they can truly push culinary boundaries.
The Theatre of Gas Cooking
Gas cooktops are designed to put the power and control back in the hands of the chef, allowing them to customise heat delivery to suit their own preferences and style of cooking.
The flame itself becomes the visual indicator of its intensity, its spread across the bottom of the pan showing where the most heat is being distributed.
Target heat to create hot spots and go from searing to gentler heat in the same pan, or distribute heat to produce a steady rolling boil or to avoid scorching foods.
Creativity
Char vegetables over the open flame, flambé coq au vin in a rich cognac, or sauté mushrooms to bring out fragrant earthy flavours. The versatility of gas is what makes it the choice of professional kitchens the world over.
Power
When timing each component of a dish is critical, the power of gas cooktops comes to the fore. Whether wok cooking or deep frying, Fisher & Paykel gas cooktops provide exceptional power for perfect results.
Control
Using gas allows you to be more responsive in your cooking. Precision settings let you dial in the perfect heat to match your cooking technique and ingredients.
