Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers looking for an elegant and sleek kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans instead of the surface being heated or burning gas beneath. Under the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and induce heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to feel and easy to clean.

Like other induction hobs, it utilizes magnetic fields with frequencies in the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation at an interval of five to ten centimetres, these fields comply with the reference value for the magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are anticipated.
