The flame heats the cookware and the air around it which allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives additional safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. However, this elevated construction requires a special care when cleaning and using the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

Therefore, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who are looking for an elegant, modern kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans instead of a heated plate or burning gas underneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils locate its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much faster than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

It utilizes magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency band to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents.
