Induction Hobs
They heat pans with induction technology, as their name suggests. The coils are placed beneath each cooking area and, when they are activated by a magnetic field, they emit magnetic fields that are able to heat the bottom of any pans made from iron. This can help save energy as the hob itself remains cool until the pan is put on top. It it makes these kinds of hobs more easy to keep clean and safer for children.
Some induction hobs will have the 'flexizone' feature on the left side that allows you to connect two zones together to create a large one - perfect for those who cook with larger pans and pots.

They also shut off more quickly when there is no pan present or if the pan is removed. This helps to reduce residual heat.

Gas and induction cooktops both have their own benefits. Gas hobs provide instant heat and can be used with all types of cookware, while induction hobs provide energy efficiency and precise control. To get the best of both worlds a hybrid hob provides the flexibility of using both induction and gas cooking zones simultaneously.
Hybrid hobs are also designed to impress, often with modern, sleek designs and easy-to-clean surfaces. FUJIOH hybrid hobs are manufactured of Scott Ceran(r) which is a ceramic glass material that is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and deliver superior performance.

Induction hobs are able to heat directly the cookware by using electromagnetic fields, which saves energy by heating food instead of the kitchen surface. In addition, the majority of induction hobs have a cool-to-touch surface and are safer than gas stoves since there isn't an open flame or the possibility of a flammable element.
On the contrary, gas hobs aren't as efficient as induction models and can cause the accumulation of certain gases in the air, which can be harmful if inhaled.
