Induction hobs are a type of cooking surface that uses electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly. Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves, they require cookware made of ferrous metal, such as cast iron or stainless steel, to work effectively. This technology allows for precise temperature control and faster cooking times. One of the main advantages of induction hobs is their energy efficiency. Since they heat the cookware directly, less energy is wasted compared to other cooking methods. Additionally, induction hobs are easier to clean, as the surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns and spills.
