Other models use halogen elements which are far more powerful and heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, which makes them ideal for cooking in short time.

Magnetism is used to heat the pans, rather than a heated surface or burning gas underneath. Under the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to touch and easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be more easy to clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction stove as fresh as new, all you require is a damp cloth.

Induction hobs that have an integrated fan cut down on smoke, steam and cooking odors. This model is perfect for homes with small space since it eliminates the need for an additional extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it utilizes magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that indirectly affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation at a distance of 5-10 centimetres, these fields are in line with the reference value for magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health-related effects are anticipated.

Electric Hobs
