What is an induction hob?

An induction hob heats cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, resulting in faster and more precise cooking. This technology ensures even heat distribution and allows for quick adjustments, making it ideal for a variety of cooking tasks.

Induction hobs also transfer heat directly to the pot or pan, reducing heat loss and making the hob surface safer and more energy-efficient.

Which type of pots and pans are suitable for induction hobs?

Electric induction hob cookware needs to be made from magnetic materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Non-magnetic cookware, like aluminum or glass, will not work unless it has a magnetic base. For optimal performance, look for cookware labeled "induction-compatible".

The best options of pots and pans to use on electric induction hobs include:

• Cast iron: Highly magnetic and retains heat well, making it perfect for induction cooking.
• Stainless steel: Most types are induction-compatible, but ensure they have a magnetic base.
• Magnetic stainless steel: Specially designed for induction hobs, offering efficient heat transfer.
