They are also safe and come with built-in flame fail safety systems that cut off gas flow if there's an issue with the gas. They may be less efficient than electric or induction hobs. They are also harder to clean because of the pan supports and stove burners. + +Plate hobs are the traditional design of the hob that has been in use for decades. They have a flat surface with electric or gas rings that are heated when you turn the dial.

First, they tend to heat up and cool down quicker than gas hobs, which means less heat remains in the cookware when it is taken off.

They utilize an electric field instead of the cooktop to heat the pan. They heat up quicker than other types of stoves and can save you energy over time. The cooktop surface is cool to the touch and many models are equipped with safety features, such as an automatic shutoff to prevent accidents. + +Induction hobs are typically ceramic or glass that have an alternating current that creates magnetic fields to heat. A pan that is induction-compatible must be flat on the bottom and a steel or iron core. The magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed in the cooking zone. Most hobs feature a "bridging zone" that can connect two zones to allow for larger pans. + +Induction hobs are renowned for their efficiency and many people report dips in their coverall energy costs after switching to one. They are also thought to be more secure since the cooktop's surface remains cool to the edge, reducing the risk of burns, and it only heats the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs that can become extremely hot. + +The majority of induction hobs have various control options with the most basic being an easy-to-use power bar/touch mark on the top of the hob, or an entirely functional TFT display that displays all options and lets you easily adjust the power levels as well as set timers, and more.
