Hobs with induction

Induction hobs, as the name suggests, make use of electromagnetic induction technology to heat cookware directly and cook food. This reduces energy use and the amount of heat that is transferred to the cooking surface. They also are sleek and modern in design that is well suited to modern kitchens.

However this technology isn't without its disadvantages. Induction hobs require compatible cookware and are more difficult to clean than gas models. The magnetic field emits low-frequency electromagnetic radiation in the kilohertz spectrum which can be harmful to health. This radiation level can be decreased by an absolute distance of 5-10 centimeters and by ensuring the appropriate pan is placed on a cooking area that is active.

Different manufacturers offer different types of induction hobs, each with different capacities. The basic model comes with four rings that can each be operated independently. The power levels can also be adjusted using an easy control. Simply touch the mark representing the ring you'd like to operate, then tap the + or - buttons or slide your finger across the power bar to select the desired setting.

Many induction hobs feature an 'bridging' zone that allows you to join two or more rings together to create a larger cooking area - ideal when you have larger pans that can't be accommodated on individual rings. Some have a 'wok' setting that gives an additional source of heat for woks, while others come with a 'freestanding' option that can be placed on a flat, smooth worktop to make space.

Certain models have digital displays that show the current power levels of each ring. Some models include rotary controls or dials that require you to turn and then press your fingers to adjust settings. You can also select from a variety of power outputs for each ring and some hobs have an auto-restart function which will return the appliance to its previously selected cooking mode after a short period of time.
