Another drawback of a ceramic cooktop is that it can take longer than induction or gas to cool down. This can be a nuisance if you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this issue and have now launched various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30%.

If you're looking for something that's easy to operate, you can choose a model that has a touchscreen display showing the pan's location in each of its zones. Click on the display and you'll be able to access a comprehensive menu for operation, changing the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to suit certain food recipes or kinds. This is a great way to save time when cooking. Induction hobs are also regarded as to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktop options, because they do not generate heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, since they generate magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near them. We suggest you choose a high-end induction cooker that includes an extractor.

Electric Hobs Electric hobs are an essential element in modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are sleek and can be easily fitted into any decor.
