By only generating heat at the base of the pan, induction hobs offer a faster, safer and more energy-efficient cooking solution for your kitchen.
The targeted heat generation allows for lower cooking temperatures, which significantly reduces the risks of accidental burning while also achieving much faster cooking results. Induction hobs come in all shapes and sizes, from small induction domino hobs right up to 90cm wide options.
Our 80cm wide induction hobs are particularly popular, with many of them offering handy bridging zones. By selecting the bridging function, you’ll be able to combine two induction zones to create one large cooking surface – perfect for simmering casseroles!

Induction Hobs FAQ's
What is an induction hob?
An induction hob uses electromagnetic fields to heat your cookware directly, instead of using gas or radiant heat. This results in faster and more efficient cooking. Check out our blog post for more information on Induction Hobs
Do I need special cookware for an induction hob?
Yes, you'll need cookware that is ferrous or magnetic-based. You can test this by seeing if a magnet sticks to the base of your pots and pans. Cast iron and some types of stainless steel usually work well. Check out our blog post for our guide to choosing the right pans
Is an induction hob energy-efficient?
Induction hobs are generally more energy-efficient than traditional gas
or electric hobs. They heat up faster and waste less energy because they
heat the cookware directly.
How do I clean an induction hob?
Cleaning is straightforward. Since the surface of the hob doesn't get hot, spills won't bake onto it. You can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and use a specialised hob cleaner if needed.
Can I use an induction hob if I have a pacemaker?
Consult your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific condition. Generally speaking, induction hobs have been deemed safe, but caution is advised for those with electronic implants like pacemakers.
Is it safe to touch the induction hob during cooking?
The induction hob itself stays relatively cool, heating only the cookware. However, the pan or pot will be hot, so exercise the same caution as you would with any other cooking method.
Do induction hobs make noise?
Some models may emit a faint humming or buzzing sound when in use. This is usually due to the cooling fan or the interaction between the cookware and the electromagnetic field.
Can I fry or simmer using an induction hob?
Yes, induction hobs offer precise temperature control, making them suitable for a range of cooking methods from frying to simmering.
What happens if I lift the pan while cooking?
The induction hob will recognise that no cookware is present and will
either pause the cooking process or switch off entirely, depending on
the model.
How quickly do induction hobs heat up?
Induction hobs heat up almost instantaneously, often boiling water in half the time it would take on a gas or electric hob.
