Depending on the model, Westpoint ceramic cookers are available with features such as child lock, multiple temperature settings and multifunction cooking programs.

Infrared Ceramic Heating

The infrared ceramic heating system generates heat beneath the ceramic cooking surface and transfers it to the cookware. This provides a flameless cooking method and can be used for a wide variety of cooking tasks.
