Ceramic & Induction Hobs

Should I Choose an Induction or Ceramic Hob?

At first glance, ceramic and induction hobs look remarkably similar. They both feature smooth, flush cooking surfaces and high-tech features like touch controls. They both use electricity to generate heat instead of gas, and they both come in various shapes, styles and sizes.

So, what sets them apart? In short, ceramic hobs use electricity to heat the cooking surface which, in turn, heats the pan. By contrast, induction hobs create a magnetic field between the cooking surface and the pan, which transfers heat directly to the pan. 

Because the cooking surface itself doesn’t heat up, induction hobs are remarkably safe. They’re also more efficient than ceramic models, simply because less energy is wasted heating up the hob – almost all of the energy is transferred straight into your cookware.
