Induction Hobs are the latest in eco-friendly cooking technology offering the control of gas combined with the convenience and style of the ceramic hob whilst at the same time being significantly more energy efficient than both. Induction hobs are also much safer to because they use magnetic fields rather than heat transfer. This means that the surface of the induction hob itself, even when delivering maxiumum power, does not get hot enough to burn. As a result induction hobs are particularly safe for the elderly or those with younger families.
