5 benefits of an induction hob

Finding the perfect hob type to suit your home can be a difficult task. Whether you’re trying to find one that fits your aesthetic, has the right safety features or simply the most functional, at CDA, we’re here to help you understand the differences and find the perfect appliance for your kitchen. To give you a better overview of why many people are choosing to switch to induction, we’ve put together our 5 top benefits and functions of an induction hob.
1. Rapid, precise cooking
Confidence in the kitchen comes from ease and control. That’s why having a hob that allows you to perfectly choose your temperature is a must-have for daily cooking. Whether it’s boiling, frying or melting, knowing you have the perfect temperature for your dish is essential. Our induction hobs all feature easy-to-use touch controls with up to 14 power levels, offering you total control without the guesswork. Many of our models offer additional functions including Boost, plus preset programmes such as Melt, Simmer and Boil, so you can find the perfect hob to suit your cooking needs. And if you’re looking for a hob that saves time, induction hobs’ heating functionality is the ideal solution. As induction hobs heat the pan directly through electromagnetic induction as opposed to heating the hob surface, foods and liquids are able to heat up in almost half the time of a gas hob. Making it the ideal appliance for fast, even cooking,2. Safety features
Safety in the kitchen it always high on any homeowner’s priority list, which is why induction hobs have become a popular choice in contemporary kitchen design. Not only does flameless cooking significantly reduce the risk of kitchen fires, it also allows for additional safety features to be added for peace of mind. Features such as child locks, residual heat indicators and overflow detection mean that you can cook with confidence.3. Cleaner and healthier cooking
Unlike traditional gas hobs, inductions don’t emit any kind of combustible gas, allowing for cleaner indoor air quality and reducing the chances of developing related respiratory health issues. Additionally, the smooth glass surface makes induction hobs easy to wipe clean after every use, ensuring your cooking surface looks great and stays clean every day.4. Energy efficiency
A major benefit of induction hobs is their energy efficiency, as induction hobs directly heat the pan rather than the surrounding air. Up to 90% of the energy is transferred to the food, as opposed to around 40% for gas and 75% for standard electric hobs. This level of efficiency greatly reduces cooking time, lowering energy bills and minimising heat loss in the kitchen. If energy efficiency is high on your priority list, why not consider a multi-purpose appliance? Our HNE81FR 80cm 4 zone venting induction hob not only minimises the space taken up by appliances by removing the need for a wall, ceiling, or island mounted extractor, but also helps keep costs down without sacrificing performance or style.5. Features that suit your lifestyle
Induction hobs are not just practical, but also come in a range of designs and sizes with a whole host of different functions to choose from. At CDA we offer a variety of induction hobs ranging from two to five zone cooking, ensuring the most optimal choice for your cooking space. For those who value efficiency and ease, many of our models come with one-click cooking functions such as instant Simmer, Boil, and Melting – allowing you to get back to more important matters, like entertaining your guests or simply taking a moment to relax!For more information, or to discover the whole range, you can view all CDA induction hobs here.
