An induction hob utilizes electrical induction technology to heat cookware. This appliance uses a magnetic field to move the molecules in the cookware, making it hot. Hence, only the cookware gets heated while the glass top and the air surrounding the vessel do not. This makes an induction hob a safer and more energy-efficient option than a gas hob. Induction hobs, also known as induction cooktops, are also more versatile and allow quick and controlled heating when compared with traditional gas hobs.
