Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our clients seeking modern and stylish kitchens. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans, not a heated plate or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is passed through them. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pot or pan itself. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to touch and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas hobs to clean. To keep your induction stove as clean as new, all you need is a damp cloth.
