Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An electric current that is alternating is run through them. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much faster than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to feel and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas hobs to clean. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as great as new.

There are no health hazards to be expected.
