Key Features to Look For
Power Levels
Induction hobs offer precise control with multiple power levels, typically ranging from 9 to 17 settings. Higher-end models offer finer increments for more precise temperature control, essential for delicate cooking tasks like melting chocolate or simmering sauces.
Boost Function
Many induction hobs feature a power boost function that temporarily increases the power to a cooking zone beyond its normal maximum. This is ideal for quickly bringing water to a boil or fast stir-frying, reducing preparation time significantly compared to conventional hobs.
Energy Efficiency
Induction hobs are inherently energy-efficient, transferring around 90% of their energy directly to the pan, compared to about 70% for ceramic hobs and 40% for gas. Look for models with A or A+ energy ratings for maximum efficiency and lower running costs.
Safety Features
Premium induction hobs include multiple safety features such as automatic shut-off, pan detection that only activates the hob when cookware is present, residual heat indicators, and child safety locks to prevent accidental activation.
Control Type
Induction hobs offer various control interfaces from traditional knobs to touch-sensitive sliders and digital displays. Touch controls provide a sleek, easy-to-clean surface, while slider controls offer intuitive power adjustment.
Timer Functions
Most induction hobs include programmable timers for each cooking zone, allowing you to set specific cooking durations. When the time elapses, the zone automatically switches off, preventing overcooking and adding convenience.
Smart Features
Higher-end models offer smart connectivity for remote monitoring and control via smartphone apps, preset cooking programs for specific dishes, and even integration with compatible kitchen hoods that automatically adjust extraction based on cooking intensity.
Special Functions
Look for models with specialized cooking functions like keep-warm, melting, or simmer settings that maintain precise low temperatures, as well as pan recognition that remembers settings when you move cookware between zones.
Cost and Energy Efficiency
Running Costs
Induction hobs are among the most energy-efficient cooking appliances, costing significantly less to run than ceramic or gas alternatives. The precise heating and minimal heat loss can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional electric hobs.
Eco Buy Recommendations
Our Eco Buy induction hobs balance cooking performance with exceptional energy efficiency. These models offer intelligent power management, optimized heating elements, and eco-cooking modes that reduce environmental impact while maintaining excellent results.
Hob Sizes and Zones
Induction hobs typically come in 60cm or 80cm widths, with 4 or 5 cooking zones. Consider how many pots and pans you typically use simultaneously and choose accordingly. Larger households may benefit from wider models with additional cooking zones.
Installation Requirements
Most induction hobs require at least 30mm clearance below for ventilation and a dedicated high-amperage electrical circuit. Ensure your kitchen can accommodate these requirements before purchase, and consider professional installation for safety.
