Induction hobs

A modern alternative to traditional gas and electric hobs, induction cookers make use of an electric field to heat the pan rather than the cooktop. This lets them heat up faster than other types of hobs and can reduce energy consumption in the long run. The cooktop surface is cool to the touch, and a lot of models come with safety features such as automatic shutoff to prevent accidents.

Most induction hobs feature a glass or ceramic top and are powered by an alternating current that creates a magnetic field that is used to heat. Induction-compatible cookware must have a flat base and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated only when the pan is placed over the cooking area. The majority of hobs come with an bridging zone that can connect two zones to accommodate larger pans.

Induction hobs are renowned for their efficiency. Many have reported reductions in their overall energy bills when they change to one. They are also thought to be safer as the cooktop's surface remains cool to the edge, reducing the risk of burns, and only heating the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs that can become very hot.
