What is the difference between electric and induction hobs?
The hob is a necessity in any kitchen, however with so many different options available to purchase, there is a lot to consider. For example; style, efficiency and fuel type. Take a look at the table below to compare the different Bosch hob types, to see which is best for you.Induction hobs
- Work by passing a current through copper coils. The magnetic field causes cookware to heat up.
- Only induction-compatible pans are suitable.
- Stylish, minimalistic design.
- When a pan is removed from the heat it diffuses heat instantly.
- Minimal residual heat as only the cooking zone heats up, making them energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Electric hobs
- Electric hobs use electricity to generate heat.
- Easy to clean and maintain due to their smooth surface.
- Two types of electric hobs: induction and ceramic.
- Electric hobs are safe due to certain features, such as indicating which zones are hot.
- Unlike induction hobs, ceramic hobs don't require certain cookware.
