Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and include a built-in flame safety device that shuts down the burners automatically should the pilot light fail.

These elements are activated when you turn on the hob and can be adjusted to various power levels by turning a knob. They may take longer to warm up than gas cookers, but once they do they usually provide more constant temperature control. They also have built-in indicators that inform you that a zone is in use or still hot from cooking.

These rings are available in a range of four to six sizes and are notch-upable to different power levels. They are perfect for flat-based cookware however they aren't the ideal choice for cast iron pans since they can overheat. Certain models come with dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that permit boiling water on one ring while you sauté sausages on the other. Some even include a boost function that concentrates the power of high-powered heat into one ring for stir fry cooking, searing meat or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs are different from regular electric models because they employ electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware rather than the conventional method of gas flames. They can achieve precise temperatures quicker and are more efficient in energy use.

Induction

The heating elements in the induction hobs are a set of copper wire coils under the surface, which create electromagnets that heat the pans sitting on them.

The surface of the stove never gets hot and, as soon as you remove your pan the cooking zones are turned off automatically.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive than other models however they're also quicker to heat and consume 30 to 70 percent less energy than ceramic or gas hobs. They are also easier to clean, as the hob surface itself isn't hot, and only the contents of your pan do.
