Turn the heat up with the perfect hotplate
When it comes to kitchen hobs, there are a few types to choose from. Three important types are the induction hobs, gas hobs and glass-ceramic hobs. To help in your decision-making, here are some pros and general tips.
Induction hobs
With an induction hob, heat is transferred through magnets directly to the pan or pot itself. Ergo: the cooktop remains cool to the touch. Thanks to this, spilled food or greasy messes won’t cook themselves into the hob – making them both safe and easy to clean. And since there’s no residual heat, they’re energy-efficient too. You can cook your heart out every day knowing your electrical bill won’t shoot through the roof.
Just remember induction hobs require the right kind of pots and pans. Specifically, they need to be made of a ferrous metal, like stainless steel. So, cookware made of copper or aluminium goes out the window. If you’re uncertain about your cookware, place a magnet on the base of your pan or pot. If it sticks, you’re good to go!
Glass ceramic hobs
Unlike induction hobs, ceramic hotplates use electricity to heat up the surface of the cooktop. This is a tried and tested hob-type that is consistent, reliable and will be familiar for most home cooks. They can handle any pot, pan or cooking utensil with ease.
However, because of this, ceramic hobs are less energy efficient than, for instance, an induction hob. It also means that spilled food can bake or burn into the top, creating stains and discolorations that can be a chore to get out.However, the flat surface is made for easy cleaning. Just make sure to tend to it within a reasonable amount of time. Thankfully, the cooktop will glow red when it’s too hot to touch, so you’ll know when it’s safe to scrub out that casserole or soup you accidentally boiled over.
