Messy mornings before leaving for work. Children waiting to be picked up after school. When you're finally back home at the end of the day, you want dinner preparation to be fuss-free. The hustle of everyday life may be stressful, but cooking should be a breeze.

With an induction hob you can cook your meal quickly and safely, without the hassle of regular hobs. A two-litre pan of pasta water can boil within minutes. The induction technology also means there’s no risk of little ones burning their hands on a hotplate.

The induction hob works by heating your cookware directly, instead of just transferring the heat from hob to pan and pot. In other words, the hob itself stays almost completely cold, as induction places the heat directly into the base of the pot or pan.

Induction hobs for every home and cooking need

In our selection of induction hobs and cooktops you'll find a variety of models with different functionalities.

The induction hob with the bridging function allows you to connect two cooking zones into one large one. This is perfect when using big or odd-size pots or pans. The induction hob with flexible zones offer the same kind of possibilities. You can vary the cooking surface by using the flexible heating zones together or separately. This means you can adapt them to pots and pans in different shapes and sizes.

If you have a smaller cooking area, but still want an innovative solution with the latest technology, we recommend the portable induction hob. It’s easy to move around and it can be stowed away when you're not using it to free up space.

Which pans and pots can I use for induction hobs?

For an induction hob you need to be aware of which kinds of pots and pans you're using. These pots and pans need to have a flat base made of ferrous or “magnetic” metal. This is common among good quality cookware. To be sure you pick the right ones, look for the coil symbol on the base. See all our pots and pans here.

Cooking tips with an induction hob

Induction hobs are known for heating up the cookware quickly, which is both efficient and timesaving. Because of this speed, we recommend you prepare all the ingredients and chop all the veggies before you heat up the pan. Remember to not heat cookware when it's empty. It can overheat and become discoloured.
