Induction hobs are popular with our customers who are looking for a sleek, clean-looking kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, instead of the surface being heated or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are located beneath the glass ceramic's surface. A current of alternating electricity is run through them. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to wipe down.
