Best induction hobs: which one to buy

In the search for best induction hobsit is important to consider a set of variables.

Also in Italy we are witnessing, in recent years, a slight increase in the diffusion of induction hobs for a series of advantages that this typology has, linked not only to energy saving.

The question aesthetics it is certainly an important factor during the purchase, especially in the case of a new kitchen: a hob of this type offers a greater appeal than the traditional gas one. There are black models, but also white and eye-catching models.

But not only that, even there practicality is another important plus point. In fact, cleaning is carried out in a very short time with absolutely high-performance results. A wipe with a rag is enough to clean it evenly.

On the subject of safety however, the induction hob plays a decisively important role. In such a plane there are no flames, we cannot burn ourselves since the surrounding surface remains cold and of course we will never have any gas leaks.

Certainly it must be considered that the pots that we have at home will probably not go well and will therefore have to be replaced. Those used for this hob must be strictly flatwith a ferrous background and which therefore bear the indication of suitability for use, even if to tell the truth there is a solution but not too effective: in fact, some adapter disks capable of adapting any cookware.

Also, on topic costs it is necessary to evaluate the transition from a gas oven to an electric one: to estimate the increase of the capacity of your counter. Naturally that of domestic gas will drop but needless to say that the costs are different.

So what are the best induction hobs?

Better induction hob for quick cooking

To balance the costs that must be taken into consideration in the transition to an induction hob we find one faster cooking (in this case it depends on the power you intend to deliver to your plan) but also more precise.

The quickness is the key element, less time to cook with an absolutely interesting result. And if haste is your companion, just think that in a few minutes we will be able to boil water for pasta and that we can also speed up time thanks to the booster technologya kind of heating amplifier.

CIRRA CBBIH4BFfor example, is an induction hob with Booster function, which allows you to cook ready-to-eat dishes at the same time, offering up to 50% more power for 5 minutes, both for boiling liquids and browning meat.

This is a cooking mode very efficientwhich allows you to cook only when and as required by the preparation.

Electrolux LIL61443C, for example, is an induction hob that integrates the Power function to instantly irradiate the hob with a high intensity heat wave. It’s ideal for preparing each dish more quickly: you can boil the water for the pasta faster than with traditional methods.
