LG 36” Smart Induction Cooktop in Black Ceramic with UltraHeat™ 5.0kW Element

Our take on the 36” Smart Induction Cooktop in Black Ceramic with UltraHeat™ 5.0kW Element

This 36-inch LG induction cooktop in black ceramic uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware directly, so the heat goes to the pan rather than the surface. Its UltraHeat element delivers 5,000 watts, enough for rapid boiling yet able to drop to a gentle simmer for sauces and soups. Two left elements can be joined into one long zone for oblong pans and griddles, and a boost mode gives extra power for up to six minutes. Touch controls and a smooth, easy-to-wipe surface give it a clean, built-in look.

This cooktop suits cooks who want quick, precise heat and a sleek countertop design. Before buying, confirm that the 36-inch width fits your countertop opening and that your kitchen can support an induction setup, and make sure the cookware you own is induction-compatible.

Our uniquely engineered induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking.
