Considering our current energy woes, gas hobs have become the most popular type of cookers. But, if you still prefer good old fashion electricity to power up your stove, why not look into an induction hob as an alternative?
Induction technology works well with ferromagnetic pots and pans and when these are placed within the magnetic field created by the hob, it induces energy into the metal, which then causes the base of the pot or pan to heat up. There are a number of benefits when it comes to using an induction hob; here are a few to consider:
Immediate power
You acquire the same instant heat as with cooking with gas, as no time is wasted heating up the base of the pan or the glass screen, as with normal electric stoves.
Energy efficient
Induction cooking uses less energy, and also cooks food much quicker. An induction hob uses an average of 30% less energy than a normal electric stove.
Easy to clean
Oil and fat wont get baked onto the surface of the hob, because the surface remains relatively cool. This also means you won’t burn yourself if you happen to touch the surface.
Easy heat regulation
You can regulate the energy you use, which means you are able to control the temperature while you’re cooking. This ensures your food is not being overcooked, because once the induction stove is switched off, your food won’t continue cooking.
