Induction Hobs

An introduction to induction

There’re tons of great reasons to switch to induction. These clever models use electromagnets to directly heat the base of your pans, meaning they don’t work unless you use a compatible pan. This makes them incredibly safe and efficient as no heat is lost. They also get to temperature really quickly, so they don’t waste any time either.

Most models have 4 induction zones, but you can also get models with 5 or 6, so you’ve got more space to flex your culinary creativity. Keep an eye out for clever tech like bridging zones or combination zones that link two areas together, letting you fit really big pots and pans on for even heating.

Looking at all the options

When it comes to picking a hob, it’s all personal preference. Gas models offer instant heat and precise control, while ceramic hobs are easy to clean and have extra safety features. And if you want to get the best of both, dual fuel lets you have a mix of gas rings and induction zones. Then there’re extractor hobs, which combine induction tech with a built-in extractor fan, so you can have one less appliance in your kitchen. You can even get a portable induction hob that’s a great choice for giving you a bit of extra space on your main hob.

Brands for days

We’ve got all the top names for induction hobs, from AEG to Zanussi. NEFF induction hobs have tech that’ll make cooking a breeze. Some models have powerBoost that heats up in a jiffy and intuitive controls like Twist Touch® and Twist Pad®. AEG models have clever Hob2Hood tech that syncs with compatible cooker hoods for automatic extraction. But if a Bosch induction hob is more your speed, look out for CombiZone, which lets you merge two areas together for more space to cook./p>
