Ceramic hob
Ceramic glass is insensitive to tem- perature shock and very robust: however it is not unbreakable. Especially sharp and hard objects that fall on the cooking sur- face can damage it.
Induction
When you switch on a zone, a high- frequency magnetic field is formed between the induction coil and the magnetic base of the pan. This mag- netic field contains induction cur- rents. The base of the pan slows down the induction currents, thus forming heat which first heats the pan base and then the food in the pan.
Quicker cooking
With induction, your pans become hot immediately. This means you save time and energy when cooking by induction. As the necessary heat for cooking the food is formed in the base of the pan, the hob hardly gets hot. However, it does absorb the sur- plus heat from the pan base.
