How induction hobs function
Induction hobs work very differently from conventional hobs or hot plates. The induction
coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing magnetic field which dir-
ectly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.
The glass ceramic plate is only warmed by the hot cookware. Removing the cookware
from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the supply of energy.
Induction hobs are:
▪
quick reacting
▪
energy-efficient
▪
finely adjustable
▪
safe
▪
powerful
Cookware with a full-surface or full magnetic base is required for cooking with an
induction hob.
