Hobs Induction

As the name suggests, these hobs utilize induction technology to heat pans. The process involves placing coils under each cooking zone that, when activated emit magnetic fields that directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pan that is placed on it. This can help save energy since the stove remains cool until the pan is placed on top, and can make these kinds of hobs easier to clean and safer for young children.
