What Is an IH Hob?
IH stands for Induction Heating. It is a heating method that uses electromagnetic induction. A strong magnetic field induces eddy currents in ferromagnetic cookware, generating heat through electrical resistance inside the metal itself, rather than transferring heat from an external source. This is why IH hobs are also known as induction hobs or IH induction cookers.
IH Hobs and Induction Cookers
Induction Cookers
The principle involves using electric currents to generate electromagnetic waves, which form eddy currents at the bottom of the cookware, causing the cookware itself to heat up. General induction cookers on the market typically have a power output of around 1500W.
IH Hobs
An IH hob is a type of induction cooker. It utilizes electromagnetic coils beneath the panel to generate electromagnetic induction, directly heating the cookware. As a result, less heat dissipates, leading to higher thermal efficiency. General IH hobs on the market have a power output of around 2500W – 2800W, which is higher than standard induction cookers, making them much more suitable for regular cooking. Meanwhile, EASY's IH induction hobs feature a power output of around 2800W – 3500W, the highest in the industry, resulting in shorter cooking times and greater energy efficiency.
