Electric and ceramic hobs take a bit longer to heat up, but they’re also slow to cool down again. Turn off the heat as soon as your dish is nearly done to save energy! All our collections are suited for electric and ceramic hobs. Just pick your favorite!
Regardless of the type of hob you have, always make sure the base of your pot or pan (aka the induction zone) has the same diameter as the hotplate you’ll be using it on.
For example: if a hotplate on your hob measures 18cm across, get a pot or pan with a base that has a diameter of 18cm (= an induction zone of 18cm).
TIP: (Induction) hotplate not heating up straight away? Shift your pot or pan a bit to make sure it connects with the magnetic field of your hotplate.
Double-check the size of each pot or pan’s induction zone to choose the right one.
