5.1 Cooking with induction

In comparison to conventional hobs, induction techno-

logy brings with it a series of changes and has a num-

ber of benefits such as time savings when cooking and

frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of clean-

ing and care. It also offers improved heat control as the

heat is generated directly in the cookware.
