HOODS & HOB’S
Efficiency and practicality – the shift towards induction hobs
E
ating habits have changed in the last two years and the reality is that 25%
more people are cooking or baking at home compared to before the first lockdown, and 43% are making healthier eating choices now. As a result, homeowners are looking for appliances that offer more than one type of cooking method. Range cookers lead the way as ‘one-stop-shop’
appliances that can bake, griddle, roast and much more – including steam from certain models. Over the next year or so, the shift towards induction hobs will be much greater as consumers become more aware of the practical and

efficiency benefits. We have already seen sales of electric range cookers with induction hobs increase significantly year-on-year. Induction ranges are favoured for being
incredibly responsive, easy to clean and efficient. They are also a safer option for all members of a household, as there aren’t any heating elements or flames. In addition to being energy efficient, induction can also deliver a very high heat to rapidly boil water, yet it can be gentle enough to melt chocolate directly in the pan without a bain-marie. Plus, the flat glass surface makes it much easier and safer to wipe clean spills – during and after cooking – compared to gas or ceramic hobs.
Next-generation induction from Rangemaster R
angemaster’s next-generation induction system for its range
cookers has a variety of features, including a bridging zone, whereby the two separately operating cooking zones on the left-hand side of the hob can be linked to create one large cooking zone. This forms a bigger, more adaptable space, where users can easily cook with larger dishes, such as fish kettles and roasting tins. The bridging zone can also be used with the company’s induction-compatible griddle, which is supplied as standard on
selected range cooker models, and is made from cast aluminium, making it lightweight and hardwearing. Protective rubber feet on the underside of the griddle help to protect the glass hob from damage. In addition, the new induction system also
features three temperature settings. Level 1 (44°C) is perfect for melting butter or chocolate, Level 2 (70°C) can be used as a ‘keep warm’ function, while Level 3 (94°C) achieves the perfect simmer. For added safety, the settings will automatically switch off if left untouched after two hours.
Range cookers with next-generation induction
hobs are equipped with a series of safety features. Pan detection automatically switches off the hob when no pan is detected, and boil dry detection recognises when the temperature of a pan rises and responds by reducing the temperature to a safe range. Additionally, a child lock feature can be activated when the hob is not in use.
