What are the benefits of induction hob cooking?

Induction hob cooking offers rapid heating and cooling thanks to its electromagnetic energy. This method is more efficient as it utilises magnetic properties to generate heat by turning cookware into its heat source.


How do you heat a pan on an induction hob?

Choose the correct-sized hob for your cookware piece. Place on low heat and add oil. Let it heat slowly, not exceeding two-thirds of the maximum heat setting. If the oil sizzles, you are ready to cook. We recommend cooking over low to medium heat, avoiding the boost function.
