ceramic cooktop

Smooth cooking surface

A ceramic cooktop is a flat cooking surface made of tempered ceramic glass, with heating elements concealed beneath.

The smooth surface is easier to clean than traditional coil burners and gives kitchens a sleek, modern appearance.

Heat may come from electric coils, halogen lamps, or induction technology: The ceramic cooktop cracked when she dropped a cast-iron pan on it.
