ZLINE Expands Induction Portfolio with New Drop-In Cooktops

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath is once again expanding its professional-grade appliance catalog with a new line of drop-in induction cooktops.

Today’s launch—a 24-inch model, 30-inch model, and 36-inch model—completes a comprehensive suite of induction offerings, following the late 2025 unveiling of freestanding ranges with electric convection ovens and this June’s introduction of ZLINE’s first-ever slide-in induction rangetops.

Designed with a clean, minimalist profile, ZLINE Induction Cooktops are purposefully engineered to fit custom cabinetry or countertop cutouts. This simplifies electrical installation for professional contractors and DIY installers while providing fast, precise, and energy-efficient heat for countless culinary efforts.

Built with the same durable high-caliber materials found across ZLINE’s established induction lineup, the cooktops feature an advanced nanotechnology-reinforced anti-scratch glass surface. Boasting a 7.5 rating on the Mohs hardness scale—stronger than quartz and comparable to high-carbon steel—the resilient glass supports heavy cookware. An anti-glare matte coating reduces reflections from overhead light while repelling fingerprints and oil buildup, and ECHA certification confirms that the surface meets strict non-toxic safety standards.

The new drop-in units include three, four, or five heating elements depending on size and offer additional user-focused features designed for daily kitchen safety and convenience, including:

Precision Touch Controls - Easily change heat settings, activate a child lock, enable a timer, and adjust other features with intuitive digital touch controls designed for simple operation
Keep Warm Function - Maintain dishes at the perfect serving temperature with versatile warming settings that preserve flavor and texture without overcooking

Beyond a digital interface, these slim units deliver extraordinary precision for home chefs of all skill levels. Each model offers nine multi-purpose cooking levels ranging from gentle simmering to intense searing, a Power Boost mode for rapid heating, and built-in Smart Heat alerts and Cookware Detection safety features.

Additionally, flexible bridge cooking elements easily join adjacent zones to accommodate griddles and oversized roasting pans—with the 36-inch model featuring two independent bridge zones.

By introducing these latest drop-in innovations, ZLINE continues to make professional-grade induction technology accessible for homeowners, interior designers, and builders working with any modern kitchen layout.
