FAST, SAFE AND AS POWERFUL AS A FITTED HOB - induction cooking heats the pan, not the air, so high temperatures are reached almost instantly, and the surface remains relatively cool so it's a safe choice for cooking with kids. Perfect as an extra countertop cooker or electric hotplate to keep dishes warm at the table and also ideal for students, anyone living alone as well as camper vans and caravanning holidays. Simply wipe down to clean. Includes timer.
