When searching for the right kitchen hob, chances are you\u2019ll get confused between the various types of <\/span>hobs<\/span>,<\/span> which include<\/span> gas, ceramic, and <\/span>induction<\/span>. While <\/span>gas hobs<\/span><\/a> can be traditional, a gas cylinder is rather bulky and can take up a lot of space <\/span>in homes that are already tight on space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Induction hobs<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, are sleeker and easier to clean and maintain with their flat surface glass <\/span>cook<\/span>top. This makes them a must-have for minimalistic kitchens and homeowners who <\/span>want an easy-to-clean cooker hob.<\/span><\/p>\n

How <\/b>D<\/b>oes an <\/b>I<\/b>nduction <\/b>H<\/b>ob <\/b>W<\/b>ork?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Essentially, <\/span>induction cooking<\/span> involves using\u00a0<\/span>magnetic induction<\/span>\u00a0to directly heat compatible pots and pans such as stainless steel and <\/span>induction cook<\/span>ware. This magnetic field is generated by electricity, which powers your <\/span>induction hob<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequently, the <\/span>induction hob<\/span> generates an electromagnetic field beneath the glass surface and heats the compatible cookware. If you place a\u00a0<\/span>non-induction pan on the induction hob<\/span>, it will not prompt any reaction, resulting in zero heat. This makes it highly <\/span>safe, even for homeowners with kids,<\/span> and efficient at heating and maintaining the precise cooking temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n

What <\/b>F<\/b>eatures <\/b>A<\/b>re <\/b>I<\/b>mportant<\/b> in Induction Hobs<\/b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no denying that <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> can deliver incredible versatility and superb cooking results. However,<\/span> its ability to do so optimally depends<\/span> on the features that each <\/span>induction hob<\/span> can offer. <\/span>Some of the <\/span>features that you should look for are:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Safety <\/b>S<\/b>ensor<\/b><\/h3>\n

An <\/span>induction hob<\/span> with a safety sensor can reduce cooking hazards in the kitchen, especially while the cooktop is switched on. It helps to monitor the temperature of the bottom of the cookware, should you leave an empty pan on it. When the sensor detects that, it can help to adjust the power output or even switch it off to avoid damage to the cookware or hob.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Power <\/b>M<\/b>anagement<\/b><\/h3>\n

As <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> typically use high wattage of power, some have power management systems in them to divide the power between the cooking zones equally. This will enable optimum use of power between the cooking zones.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Pan <\/b>D<\/b>etection<\/b><\/h3>\n

This feature is by far one of the most important ones that you should look for because it helps reduce cooking hazards and energy wastage. The <\/span>induction hob<\/span> will not work if there\u2019s no pot or pan on the heating zone or the<\/span> pan isn\u2019t made of a suitable material<\/span>. When the cookware is removed from the heating zone, it stops the <\/span>hob<\/span> from operating. <\/span>At FUJIOH, all of our <\/span>induction cooker hobs<\/span> like the <\/span>FH-ID5120<\/span><\/a> have a built-in pan sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Touch <\/b>C<\/b>ontrol<\/b><\/h3>\n

With the increased use of digital and touch controls in cars and home appliances, it\u2019s no surprise <\/span>that <\/span>induction <\/span>hobs have similar<\/span> controls embedded into their surface. Besides, it makes for easy cleaning and maintenance since you don\u2019t have to constantly turn the knob to<\/span> ignite or ensure that the hob is completely turned off,<\/span> like how you do your gas hobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Child <\/b>S<\/b>afety <\/b>L<\/b>ock<\/b><\/h3>\n

Since the <\/span>induction hob<\/span> will be installed at a level that\u2019s easy and convenient for you to cook, you will need to make the extra effort in getting an <\/span>induction cook<\/span>top that offers a child lock. This will prevent unwanted accidents from <\/span>happening even though the <\/span>danger of an <\/span>induction hob<\/span> isn\u2019t as high as with a gas cooktop. <\/span>Induction cooker hobs like the <\/span>FUJIOH FH-ID5125<\/span><\/a> perfect the balance between aesthetics and safety as it not only comes with a child safety lock but also a residual heat indicator allowing you to know when the surface is hot.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Cooktop <\/b>S<\/b>urface <\/b>M<\/b>aterial<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your <\/span>induction hob\u2019s<\/span> surface material should be of high quality<\/span>,<\/span> such as SCHOTT CERAN<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> Ceramic Glass with <\/span>a <\/span>bevelled edge. This will not only make your cooktop look sleek and beautiful, but it\u2019s also durable and easy to care<\/span> for, requiring only a simple <\/span>wipe after every use. Plus, the ceramic glass can withstand high temperatures so it\u2019s more durable than the normal glass cooktop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Induction Hob<\/b> vs Ceramic Hob<\/b><\/h2>\n

Induction<\/span> and ceramic <\/span>hobs<\/span> tend to look the same \u2013 offering the same streamlined, glass look and smooth surface. In addition, the controls are placed <\/span>in<\/span> the same position and usually offer similar functions such as power on\/off, temperature\/heat control<\/span>, and more.<\/span> The similarities aside, <\/span>induction<\/span> and ceramic <\/span>hobs<\/span> differ from each other<\/span> in several aspects too. Some of them include:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Heating<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ceramic hobs work by having a heating element underneath each <\/span>cooking<\/span> zone. When these are powered on, heat is lost and wasted, making them less energy efficient than <\/span>induction hobs<\/span>. Consequently, this causes ceramic hobs to take much longer to heat up and cool down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Induction hobs<\/span>, on the other hand, only heat the part of the surface that comes into <\/span>direct<\/span> contact with your pots and pans. <\/span>As a result of this, the<\/span> heating speed is much faster than ceramic and gas hobs. Subsequently, <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> can cool down a lot faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Features<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ceramic hobs are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Meanwhile, <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> continue to have new developments with new features to make cooking easier and safer in the kitchen. Some of the features that you can get with <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> are flexi-zone and power slide<\/span>,<\/span> which allows you to create a larger cooking zone and change the power settings<\/span> efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Type of <\/b>C<\/b>ookware<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ceramic hobs may work with all types of pots and pans, but that does not mean that it completely triumphs over induction hobs in terms of versatility and flexibility. Although<\/span> induction hobs<\/span> only work with compatible pots and pans such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel, this cookware typically lasts much longer than your regular non-stick pan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At\u00a0<\/span>FUJIOH<\/span>, we offer several models of <\/span>induction hobs<\/span> with different cooking zone sizes, and a hybrid hob<\/span> like the <\/span>FH-IC6020<\/span><\/a> if you\u2019re looking for a 2-in-1 <\/span>induction<\/span> + ceramic <\/span>hob<\/span>.
