Electric induction hobs are becoming more and more popular because they are more stylish, faster and more efficient for cooking than gas stoves. Food in metal containers is heated by induced eddy currents generated by a high-frequency magnetic field.
The only drawback of induction hobs is the need to purchase special cookware.
