Things to consider
Compared with premium induction cooktops, this ceramic model offers slower heat response and fewer advanced cooking functions.
Family cooking suitability
High - 4 zones, a wide 90cm layout and a flexible dual zone make it well suited to family meal preparation.
Easy cleaning score
8/10 - smooth ceramic glass is simple to wipe down, though spills can still bake onto the surface if left too long.
Kitchen integration fit
Best for medium to large kitchens needing a 90cm built-in cooktop with a black minimalist finish.
Safety rating
8/10 - residual heat warning lamps and hot surface indicators add practical everyday safety support.
Key benefits
- 4 cooking zones: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once, which suits busy family mealtimes.
- Dual ceramic zone: Adapts to different pan sizes for better day-to-day flexibility with small pots or larger frypans.
- 90cm cooking surface: Provides more workspace than compact cooktops, making it easier to spread out larger cookware.
- Front-mounted knob controls: Gives direct heat adjustment that is simple to use, including when hands are wet.
- 9 power levels: Offers a useful range of heat settings for simmering, boiling and everyday cooking control.
- Residual heat warning lamps: Helps reduce accidental contact by showing when the surface is still hot after cooking.
- Hot surface indicators: Makes post-cooking safety checks clearer before cleaning or touching the glass.
- Ceramic glass surface: Wipes clean easily and supports a sleek built-in look in modern kitchens.
Q: Will this cooktop fit my existing 90cm benchtop cut-out
A: Maybe. This cooktop is designed for a benchtop cut-out of 880mm by 490mm, so a matching cavity is the key check rather than the advertised width. If your current cut-out differs, the bench may need altering before installation.
Q: Do I need special cookware for this ceramic cooktop
A: No. This ceramic cooktop works with most flat-based pots and pans, so you are not limited to induction-compatible cookware. Very warped, rough or undersized bases can heat less evenly and may leave the glass harder to keep clean.
Q: How does the dual zone work with larger frypans
A: The dual zone lets one cooking area suit different pan sizes, which is useful when switching between a smaller saucepan and a larger frypan. It adds flexibility, but it is still a ceramic element, so heat response is not instant.
Q: Are the front knobs easier to use than touch controls
A: Yes. The front-mounted knobs give direct access to 9 power levels without tapping through touch settings, which suits quick heat changes during cooking. They also keep operation simple when hands are wet or messy from food prep.
Q: Does the glass stay hot after the heat is turned off
A: Yes. Westinghouse WHC942BE has residual heat warning lamps and hot surface indicators to show when the ceramic glass is still hot after cooking. The surface can hold heat after switch-off, so it is not ready for cleaning straight away.
Q: Is this a good choice if I am replacing induction
A: Only if you are happy with standard ceramic cooking. Westinghouse WHC942BE gives simple knob control and flexible pan sizing, but ceramic heat response is slower than induction and it does not offer the same advanced cooking functions.
