1. Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a modern and efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models.

The 'Flux zone' feature allows you to move your pans around in the four zones and alter the power levels to fit your pans or pots as well as the 'PowerBoost feature boosts the output by 50% for quick boiling.

They are the best for boiling water as well as simmering soups and sauces as well as for frying eggs and meats and pan-frying. Their popularity is due the fact that they can quickly and accurately generate high heat levels, making them perfect for searing and boiling.
