These elements produce heat when they are activated by control knobs. Some models have radiant elements that emits heat through the glass surface. Some models use the halogen element, which is more powerful. They heat the entire surface in successive pulses.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features such as residual heat indicators that warn you when the surface remains hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some ceramic ovens hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.
