Under the ceramic plate of the portable cooking hob there is an electrical coil that creates a magnetic field and the induction current generated causes heat to build in any cookware that has a magnetic base. Cookware can easily be tested with a fridge magnet to verify that its base can be magnetised: cookware without compatible bases such as aluminium and ceramic cannot be used. Virtually all cookware in the Stellar and Judge range ranges is induction ready.

Only the pan becomes hot to cooking temperature - the ceramic plate remains relatively cool. Pan heating is extremely fast and can be instantly stopped. Less electrical power is needed to cook.

A counter top induction hob is a valuable additional cooking facility when the kitchen is at its busiest, useful for keeping food warm.

The hob will be easy to clean with a soapy damp cloth - no food spillage will bake onto the ceramic top as it remains relatively cool.
