Induction hobs combine the responsive heating of gas hobs with the easy cleaning of electric hobs. You will need induction compatible pans. When you power up an induction hob, metal coils under the hob’s glass surface create a magnetic field. This interacts with the iron in a pan’s base. An electric current is generated that transfers energy into the pan, creating heat. They heat up very quickly, and can even boil a pan of water in less time than a kettle! Induction hobs let you cook using larger pots or dishes, which would extend beyond a standard heating zone. These extended cooking areas are variously called flexi, link or bridge zones.
