Hobs with induction

Induction hobs heat pots and pans with magnetism instead of direct heating. Underneath the cooktop surface sit coils through which an alternating electric current flows through and when a ferromagnetic pot is placed on top of the cooktop, this creates a magnetic field which produces electricity to heat the pan. This also means that the cooktop remains cool to the touch, saving energy compared with electric and gas models.

This helps minimise accidents and is especially helpful in homes with children. Some models also come with an overflow safety feature that detects when a pan is boiling and immediately shuts off the stove to prevent spillage.

Induction hobs look sleek and stylish. They work by passing a current of electric current through copper coils to create a magnetic field which warms the bottoms of the cookware that is compatible with induction. This makes them faster to boil than gas hobs and offers precise temperature control with a cool-to touch surface and energy efficiency.

However, these types of cooktops are more expensive than gas models and need to be installed by a professional. A lot of them come with a flat ceramic cooktop for a modern look and come with a variety of features such as child locks, timers, auto shut off and built-in food sensors.
