Induction Hob – State-of-the-Art Cooking Technology
A modern kitchen needs state-of-the-art cooking technology. This is where the Induction hob comes in. This invisible cooktop heats the cookware by means of an electromagnetic field. This is done by passing a low radio frequency alternating current through a coil of copper wire.
The hob will only become hot when a pan rests on it, and will switch off automatically once the pan is removed. It is safe for those with pacemakers.
Touch control hob
Induction hobs use electric currents guided by magnetic induction to directly heat independent cooking zones. This means only the area of the cook-top in contact with your pans becomes heated, leaving the remainder cool and safe to touch. This makes it quicker to start and stop cooking, easier to clean and more energy efficient.
In addition, all AGA induction cooktops offer a power boost function that can provide an extra level of heating for up to ten minutes. They also feature boil dry detection that recognises when a pan’s temperature rises rapidly, often associated with a pan being lifted off the hob, and reduces the power output to maintain a safer lower temperature until the pan is replaced.
All AGA induction hobs comply with European standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This means that if you have an implanted pacemaker or insulin pump, you should consult your doctor before using the hob.
The CIARRA portable induction hob is a great choice for smaller kitchens or as an additional cooking zone in the garden or on your balcony. Its sleek surface is made of glass-ceramic, which is partially crystalline and offers better stability than normal glass. It’s also stains resistant and easy to clean. Unlike traditional ceramic hobs, the CIARRA does not require a burner or a hotplate and is therefore much more energy-efficient.
Built in induction hob
A built-in induction hob is a sleek alternative to traditional electric or gas cookers. It’s not as bulky as a freestanding hob and integrates into the kitchen worktop, so it’s easy to keep clean and adds to the aesthetic of the space. It’s also more efficient and safer, as the surface only heats up when a pan is placed on it and there’s less chance of leaving a hot pan on the hob for long periods of time.
An induction hob works by passing an alternating electric current through copper coils beneath the glass-ceramic cooktop. When a magnetic pan is placed on it, the coils induce a swirling electromagnetic field which generates small electric currents in the metal base of the pot. These currents create an eddy current that heats the pan, while the hob itself stays cool to the touch.
This technology is popular among chefs and cooks for its speed, safety and energy efficiency. It’s also safer for children as it doesn’t have a naked flame, so there’s no risk of burns. However, it’s important to note that induction hobs require a specific type of pan to work. They won’t work with curved pans, or those made from copper, aluminium or glass. They also won’t work if you’re trying to use it for roasting or charring food (such as corn cobs or bhutta). Invest in good quality, flat-based pans that are compatible with your new hob and you’ll find yourself cooking more quickly with an induction cooktop.
Portable induction hob
A portable induction hob is a convenient and versatile way to cook. It works by using flat glass surfaces that are powered by heaters to heat your food, and is more energy efficient than electric or gas hobs. It also takes up less space, and is safer than traditional open gas hobs. You can use it in your kitchen as an extra cooking option, or take it with you if you are travelling or moving house.
Users love this model because of its precise temperature control, quick response time, and great features (including 20 power settings, a child lock, and a timer that can be programmed for up to 10 hours). Its design is sleek, modern, and compact, making bep dien tu munchen it ideal for small kitchens and tight spaces.
The only drawback is that the touch controls can be a bit sticky and require a few seconds to activate, but that is a minor complaint overall. This product comes with a two year warranty, so you can buy it with confidence. Also, note that you will need to purchase induction-compatible cookware. If you don’t, your hob may not work properly or might shut off. This is because induction cookers heat your cookware by heating the metal underneath it. The cookware should have a base that is the same diameter as the burner.
