Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who are looking for an elegant, modern kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans rather than a heated plate or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are positioned beneath the glass ceramic surface. A current of alternating electricity is run through them. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils detect its magnetic base and cook the pan or pot directly. This is much faster than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in energy usage. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to feel and easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be more easy to keep clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob fresh as new, all you need is a dampened cloth.
