Cooktops

Robam cooktops are built for cooking that needs real heat. With up to 23MJ on the main burner, a Robam gas cooktop delivers the intense, concentrated flame that wok cooking, searing and stir-frying depend on. The pan holds its temperature when ingredients go in, instead of stalling and stewing.

Don't assume a compact cooktop means less heat. Robam offers 23MJ burner power on both 60cm and 90cm gas cooktops, so a 60cm gas cooktop can match the peak burner output of a full-width model. The range covers 3, 4 and 5-burner gas cooktops in 60cm, 86cm and 90cm widths, plus induction cooktops for kitchens that want precise, flameless control.

Planning a full cooking zone? Compare gas cooktops and induction cooktops, pair your cooktop with a rangehood built for the same heat, or find genuine cooktop spare parts.

Buying Guide

Gas vs Induction — Which Suits How You Cook?

Gas cooktops give instant, visible flame control and the direct, high heat that wok cooking relies on, including heat up the curved sides of the wok. Induction cooktops heat the pan through electromagnetic energy. They offer fast boil times, precise temperature control and a flat surface that's easy to wipe clean. If high-heat Asian-style cooking is part of most meals, gas is the stronger fit. If you want a sleek, low-maintenance surface and cook mostly with flat-based pans, consider induction.

Burner Power — What Does 23MJ Actually Mean?

The megajoule (MJ) rating measures how much heat a burner can put out. Robam's gas cooktops range from 17MJ to 23MJ on the main burner. The 17MJ and 18MJ models suit everyday cooking. The 22MJ and 23MJ models are built for high-heat techniques where the pan needs to recover temperature instantly. If wok cooking is a regular part of your kitchen, filter by max burner power above and shortlist the 22–23MJ models first.

Burner Count — 3, 4 or 5 Burners?

More burners isn't automatically better. A 3-burner cooktop leaves more space around each burner, which helps with large woks and wide pans. A 5-burner gas cooktop suits households cooking several dishes at once, a common setup for family-style meals with multiple dishes on the table. 4-burner models sit in between for compact 60cm spaces.

Sizing — 90cm, 86cm or 60cm Gas Cooktop?

Robam cooktops come in 60cm, 86cm and 90cm widths. The size must match your benchtop cut-out, not just the space available. Measure your existing cut-out before ordering, especially when replacing an old cooktop, and check the cut-out dimensions on each product page. A 90cm gas cooktop suits larger kitchens and serious home cooks. A 60cm gas cooktop fits compact benchtops without giving up peak burner power.

Material and Finish — Glass, Glass-Ceramic or Stainless Steel?

Tempered glass is the most common surface across the range: easy to wipe down, with a sleek, modern look. Stainless steel suits a more commercial or industrial kitchen style. Glass-ceramic offers a smooth, flat surface. Finishes include Glossy Black, Glossy White, Matte Grey and Matte Black, so you can match your cooktop to a Robam rangehood in the same finish.

Pairing — Match Your Cooktop to Your Rangehood

A 23MJ burner produces more smoke and airborne oil than a standard burner, so your rangehood needs the airflow to keep up. Choose a rangehood at least as wide as your cooktop. For frequent high-heat cooking, look at Robam's rangehoods rated above 2400 m³/hr.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is gas or induction better for wok cooking?

Gas is generally the better choice for wok cooking. An open flame heats the base and the curved sides of the wok, and it responds instantly when you adjust the heat. Induction cooktops heat flat-based pans quickly and precisely, but they only heat where the pan touches the surface, which limits traditional round-bottom wok cooking.

What MJ rating do I need for wok cooking?

Look for a burner rated 22MJ or higher if you stir-fry or sear at high heat regularly, since the pan needs to recover temperature the moment ingredients go in. Robam's gas cooktops reach up to 23MJ on the main burner.

Can a 60cm gas cooktop handle high-heat cooking?

Yes. Robam offers 60cm gas cooktops with a 23MJ main burner, the same peak burner power as its 90cm models. A 60cm gas cooktop gives you less bench space for multiple pans, but not less heat on the main burner.

What size cooktop fits my benchtop cut-out?

Robam cooktops come in 60cm, 86cm and 90cm widths. The cooktop must match your benchtop cut-out, so measure your existing cut-out before ordering and check the cut-out dimensions listed on each product page, especially when replacing an old cooktop.

How many burners do I need on a gas cooktop?

A 3-burner cooktop leaves more room around each burner, which suits large woks and wide pans. A 5-burner gas cooktop suits households cooking several dishes at once, while 4-burner models fit compact 60cm spaces.

What size rangehood should I pair with my cooktop?

Choose a rangehood at least as wide as your cooktop, so a 90cm cooktop needs a 90cm rangehood at minimum. For high-MJ gas cooktops used for frequent high-heat cooking, look at rangehoods rated above 2400 m³/hr, and check the installation clearance in your model's manual.
