Induction Hobs: the quicker and safer option.
What is an Induction Hob?
Discover the new way of cooking that is so much faster and safer than traditional gas or electric hobs. Induction hobs heat the base of the pan directly allowing less risk of burning yourself on the hob, and the built-in child safety lock gives you extra peace of mind and the highest level of safety.
How does it work?
Beneath the hob, induction coils made from copper wire create a magnetic field as electricity is passed through them. If a pan with a magnetised base is placed on the hob, the magnetic field causes it to heat up directly. The hob will remain cool with only some residual heat from the pans, meaning induction hobs are a lot safer.
What is the difference between gas and electric?
All Bosch hobs offer a glass ceramic cooking surface that is stylish and easy to clean. Induction hobs deliver instant heat and respond quickly to temperature adjustments. Electric ceramic hobs are easy to use and compatible with a wide range of pots and pans. Gas hobs are favoured by many cooks for their responsive heat control.

What types of inductions hobs are available?
Standard Zones: Best suited for your circular pots and pans. Convenient and simple to operate, our essential range maintains classic design with contemporary style.
Combi Zone: Two cooking zones can be linked, making the switch from small to large pans effortless.
Flex Induction Zone: Combine the cooking zones into one big zone for placing small pots and large cookware. The amount of usable surface on the hob is maximised to accommodate even the largest of cookware, including griddle plates and Teppan Yaki.
Induction cooking and safety
The electric and magnetic fields from Bosch induction hobs are subject to regular checks and fall well below maximum EU limits, as well as the legal requirements of groups such as the World Health Organisation, and are safe when used as described in the instructions.
This means it is safe to use Bosch induction hobs if you are pregnant or when children are present. The hobs also feature safety and security features, such as an integrated lock function that stops the hob being activated, that can prevent accidental or unwanted use.

This is all thanks to an algorithm that adjusts the power of your hood, based on your hob settings. Your kitchen stays free of odours and vapour, and the hood stays free from finger prints.
