To minimize the chance of these contaminants it is essential to avoid burning any flammable substances near a gas burner.

Hobs with induction

In contrast to electric and gas hobs, induction hobs make use of magnetism, not direct heat to warm pots and pans. Induction hobs have coils under the glass surface that carry through a variable electric current. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top, the magnetic field creates electricity in the iron core of the pan, which heats it and indirectly cooks whatever is in the. Induction hobs generally cook faster and are favoured for their energy efficiency, with a lot of homeowners reporting dips in their overall cooking expenses.

There are some sources that suggest that induction hobs emit high levels of electromagnetic fields - at frequencies in the kilohertz range when used. These fields shouldn't affect your health at a distance of normal, and they diminish when you increase the distance. However, these magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, so it's best to maintain a minimum distance of five to ten centimeters of space between the cooker and any pacemaker.

Induction hobs require special cookware. They require flat bases and are made of iron or steel with an additional magnetic layer. Cast iron is a popular choice but you can find stainless steel compatible with induction or aluminum, as well as copper (check the label to confirm compatibility).

However, it is important to note that you should only use flat-bottomed cookware and pans on a glass cooktop. A rounded bottom will cause too much surface coming into contact with burners. This can cause damage and overheating.

Glass cooktops with glass are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves need to be maintained regularly to avoid burns and other damages.
