Because induction hobs directly heat the pan itself, rather than heating up the entire heating zone, they’re incredibly efficient. In fact, induction hobs heat up incredibly quickly and can boil water quicker than ceramic hobs or gas hobs. One important thing to note with induction hobs is that they require induction-compatible pans. It’s better to check your pans are induction-compatible before you try to cook in them to save any disappointment. Many modern pans are compatible but older pans aren’t always. Of course, you can always use a new induction hob as an opportunity to treat yourself to a new set of induction-friendly pans!
