At a glance
The Chef 60cm Solid Cooktop White is a simple four-zone electric cooktop designed for everyday cooking and easy replacement of older solid plate models. It suits households that want familiar knob controls, a durable enamel finish and clear hotplate indicators. Its main strength is straightforward, reliable operation, but it lacks the faster heating and easier wipe-clean surface of ceramic or induction alternatives.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Cooking
- Replacing Older Solid Plate Cooktops
- Simple Family Meals
- Basic Boiling and Frying
Where it works best
- Family Kitchens
- Rental Properties
- Renovation Replacements
- Standard Benchtop Installations
Who it’s for
- Budget-Conscious Households
- Home Cooks Wanting Simple Controls
- Renovators Replacing Existing Electric Cooktops
- Users Familiar With Solid Hotplates
Things to consider
This solid hotplate design is practical and familiar, but it is slower to heat and cool than induction or ceramic cooktops and the raised plates are less streamlined to clean.
Family cooking suitability
8/10 - four cooking zones and simple controls suit regular household meal prep well
Energy efficiency score
5/10 - solid hotplates are functional but generally less energy-conscious in day-to-day use than induction models
Ease of cleaning rating
6/10 - the enamel surface is easy to wipe, but raised solid plates are less convenient to clean around than flat cooktops
Installation flexibility
Best suited to replacement installations with a standard 57.0 cm x 49.0 cm cutout; requires hardwiring by a licensed electrician
Home chef fit
Best for cooks who prefer familiar knob controls and straightforward electric cooking rather than advanced features or precision heat control
Key benefits
- Four Solid Hotplates: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once for everyday meal preparation.
- White Enamel Surface: Durable finish resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down after cooking.
- Right-Hand Side Controls: Separates knobs from the cooking zones to help reduce accidental bumps near hotplates.
- Hotplate Indicator Lamp: Gives a clear visual cue when a cooking zone is active.
- Heating Lamp: Helps you see when the cooktop is operating so you can avoid touching hot surfaces.
- Six Heat Levels: Offers simple control over cooking intensity for simmering, heating and boiling.
- Standard 57.0 cm x 49.0 cm Cutout Fit: Suitable for many common benchtop openings when replacing an older cooktop.
- Hardwired 6.5 kW Connection: Built for permanent installation in kitchens needing a full-size electric cooktop.
Q: Is the Chef CHS642WB a solid hotplate cooktop rather than a ceramic glass model?
A: Yes. The CHS642WB uses 4 solid electric hotplates in a white enamel hob, not a smooth ceramic glass surface. That suits buyers replacing an older solid plate cooktop, but it usually heats and cools more slowly than ceramic or induction.
Q: What cut-out size does the Chef CHS642WB need?
A: This model is 600mm wide overall and needs a 570mm wide by 490mm deep bench cut-out. The cooktop itself is 535mm deep and 58mm high, so these measurements are the key ones to compare with an existing benchtop opening.
Q: Does the Chef CHS642WB plug in or need hardwiring?
A: It needs hardwiring. The connected load is 6.5kW, which is typical for a full-size electric cooktop and means it is set up for fixed electrical connection rather than a standard plug-in arrangement. Discuss with your electrician.
Q: Are the controls on the Chef CHS642WB safer for families than front-mounted knobs?
A: The controls sit on the right-hand side rather than across the front edge, which can reduce accidental bumps when moving past the cooktop. It also gives clearer separation between the hotplates and knobs, though the surface still gets hot in use.
Q: What does the heating lamp on the Chef CHS642WB tell you?
A: The heating lamp shows when a cooking zone is operating, so it gives a quick visual check before touching or cleaning around the cooktop. It is useful on a solid plate design, where the hotplates can stay hot for a while after switching off.
