Ceramic hob
Ceramic glass is insensitive to tem-
perature shock and very robust:
however it is not unbreakable.
Especially sharp and hard
objects that fall on the cooking sur-
face can damage it.
Induction
When you switch on a zone, a high-
frequency magnetic field is formed
between the induction coil and the
Saucepan base
magnetic base of the pan. This mag-
Ceran surface
netic field contains induction cur-

rents. The base of the pan slows
down the induction currents, thus
forming heat which first heats the

pan base and then the food in the
pan.
Quicker cooking
With induction, your pans become
hot immediately. This means you
save time and energy when cooking
by induction. As the necessary heat
for cooking the food is formed in the
base of the pan, the hob hardly gets
hot. However, it does absorb the sur-
plus heat from the pan base.
