Induction Hobs

An induction hob is a modern electric cooktop that uses magnetism to heat your pots and pans directly, rather than heating the surface of the stove itself.

While it looks identical to a traditional glass ceramic electric hob, the technology underneath is completely different, making it faster, safer, and far more energy-efficient.

Not necessarily! Induction works via magnetism, so your pans just need a magnetic base. Cast iron and most stainless steel pans work perfectly. You can do the "Magnet Test": if a fridge magnet sticks to the bottom of your pan, it will work. Aluminium, copper, and traditional ceramic pans won’t work unless they have a special induction-ready base.

If you love hosting or cooking with large, long, or rectangular pans (like griddle plates or fish kettles), look for models with FlexiZone or Bridging functions. This allows you to combine two individual cooking zones into one large, seamless heating area, ensuring even heat distribution for oversized cookware.
