Hobs induction

As the name suggests, these hobs utilize induction technology to heat pans. The coils are positioned under each cooking area and, when activated by a magnetic field they emit magnetic fields that are able to heat the bottom of any pan made from iron. This helps save energy since the hob stays cool until you put a pan on top. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children.

To get the best of both worlds the hybrid hob gives the option of using both cooking zones at the same time.

Hybrid hobs are also designed to impress, often with modern, sleek designs and easy-to-clean surfaces.

Induction hobs use electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware, which reduces energy use by heating the food, not the kitchen's surface.
