HOW INDUCTION HOBS WORK
An induction hob heats in a unique way. A very strong magnetic field is created by
electricity running through an electrical coil positioned under a ceramic plate. The
‘induction current’, created by the magnetic field, generates heat in any cookware
capable of being magnetised, while standing on the ceramic plate. Only the pan is
heated - the ceramic plate remains relatively cool. As a result, spilt food will not burn on
to the surface, and can be simply wiped off at the end of cooking.
CHOOSING COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION HOB USE
Only pans that can be magnetised can be used on induction hobs. Most recent Judge,
Stellar, and Horwood cookware is induction-ready, and is described as ‘suitable for all
hob types’. Some cookware, although made of non-magnetic material, has a special
base which allows efficient working on induction hobs. A simple way to check - if a
fridge magnet will stick to the base of the pans, then the pan will heat on an induction
hob. Pans with a base diameter of less than 120mm may not work on this hob.
Ensure all cookware used on the hob is clean before use.
HOW TO USE
Main Cooking Functions
