Some models have a Boost function that concentrates high heat into one ring. This is useful for stir-frying, searing meat, or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs are different from regular electric hobs in that they utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware instead of the traditional method of gas flames. They can achieve precise temperatures more quickly and are more efficient in energy use.

Induction

The heating elements of induction hobs consist of a series of copper wire coils that are placed beneath the surface. They generate electromagnets to heat pans that sit on them.

The cooker also comes with a built-in dishwasher and an automatic pan detection feature to make cleaning a lot simpler. The only problem is that there are only a handful of compatible pans and you can't use it to cook with utensils with magnetic bases. This can be a problem in the event that you have a large amount of cookware that isn't compatible or some of them are suitable for induction hobs.
