Induction

Induction cooktops don't heat the ring like traditional electric or gas hobs. Instead, they employ electromagnetic technology to generate heat directly within your pan. This is done by copper coils that are placed under the glass surface that emit an electromagnetic field upon switching on. This generates a magnetic charge that heats the metal inside your pan.

The benefit is that only the surface of the pot and not the entire surface of the cooktop made of glass - is heated, which makes it safer to handle and cleaner too. It also cooks food faster and boils water more quickly than traditional cooktops.

However, induction technology has its drawbacks. First of all, you cannot use non-ferrous metal or aluminium pans without copper or iron in the bottom, as these are poor conductors for electricity. It's not difficult to find induction-ready pans today that include enamelled cast iron and stainless steel. Glass can also be used with an induction-ready bottom.
