Hobs induction
As the name suggests, these hobs use induction technology to heat pans. This works by placing coils underneath each cooking zone that, when activated emit magnetic fields that directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pan placed on it. This helps to save energy since the hob remains cool until the pan is put on top, and it makes these kinds of hobs more easy to clean and safer for children.

There isn't a definitive answer to the question of whether gas or induction hobs are better, as each type of cooktop has its own advantages. Gas hobs offer instant heat and can be used with any type of cookware, while induction hobs and ovens offer energy efficiency and precise control. A hybrid hob allows you to utilize both gas and induction zones simultaneously.
Hybrid hobs also stand out with their modern, sleek design and clean, easy-to-clean surfaces. Hybrid hobs from FUJIOH for instance, are constructed using the top Scott Ceran(r) ceramic glass - a product designed to withstand extremely high temperatures and provide superior performance.

Additionally, many induction hobs have a cool-to-touch surface, and are more secure than gas stoves because there is no open flame or flammable element.
Gas hobs, on contrary, are less efficient than models that use induction, and can cause an accumulation of certain gases, which could be harmful if inhaled.
