This can lead to uneven cooking results and make the hob less energy efficient.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils conduct an electric current that is alternating beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob the coils generate magnetic fields that generate heat directly inside the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or a heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are very energy efficient, as they don't squander heat.
