What is an Induction Hob?

An Induction Hob is a vital kitchen appliance used to heat food using electromagnetic currents. It indirectly heats pots and pans through the hob’s electromagnetic fields rather than conventional heating. Different from gas and electric stoves, induction hobs achieve quicker and more meticulous heat output, changing home cooking with the enhancement of innovative technology. 

How Does an Induction Hob Work? 

Examining its principles and processes is necessary to answer the question of how an induction hob works. 

Understanding an induction hob is best done by tackling the issue with the principles through which it operates, namely electromagnetic. When you switch on a hob, a momentary current is produced, through which the cookware placed on it develops another magnetic field. This current produces heat to cook the food, which is effective and fast. This is how induction hobs work, and this direct heating method is what makes them energy efficient and fast. 

Why Use a Built-in Induction Hob? 

Selecting KAFF’s built-in induction hob will push your culinary experience to the next level in numerous ways.

Advantages of having a Built-in Induction Hob
