Induction Hob vs Gas Hob

Induction hobs are considered more energy efficient than gas hobs, using up to 90 percent of the actual energy produced in comparison to 55 percent for gas. It is true to say this is a double edged economy as the actual equipment costs more, but prices are falling and there are now hobs available under £400. Glen Martin, of Martins of Harborough in Market Harborough, believes it’s only a matter of time before induction hobs will begin to challenge gas hobs for market share, and over the next five years it is expected that induction hobs will double or even treble their 5-7% of the market.
