Siemens Induction Hobs

Induction hobs create a magnetic field between the induction element in the hob and the pan. This means only the pan or pot heats up, not the cooking surface. As a result, induction is often considered a safer option, as the glass surface stays relatively cool (since heat is generated in the pan) and there is no open flame or gas.

Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or many stainless steels. To check a pan, perform a simple magnet test: if a magnet sticks firmly to the centre of the pan base, it is induction‑compatible.

Induction hobs are the most energy efficient cooktop type. cooking works by creating a magnetic field between the pan and the copper coil beneath the glass surface. Because heat is only produced where you need it, induction hobs reduce energy loss to the surrounding air and countertop, shorten heat‑up and cool‑down times, and give precise temperature control.

Clean your induction hob after it cools using a soft cloth and mild detergent. You can remove stubborn or burnt-on food with a dedicated glass‑hob scraper and finish with a ceramic‑hob cleaner or polish. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and dragging pans across the surface to preserve the finish.
