Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and have a built-in flame failure device that shuts off the burners automatically should the pilot light fail.

Some even come with a 'boost' feature that concentrates the power of high-powered heat into one ring to stir fry cooking sauteing meats, searing or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs are distinct from regular electric models due to the fact that they use electromagnetic fields instead of conventional gas flames to cook your food. This enables them to achieve precise temperatures in a shorter time frame, which makes them highly energy efficient. They have a cool to the touch surface as well as flashing indicators that inform you that a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Induction

Induction hobs have heating elements that are composed of copper wire coils. The coils create electromagnets, which heat the pans placed on the top.
