Induction hobs attract everyone due to their sleek design and cutting-edge technology. Due to its unique appearance, some people may think that it may consume a lot of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An induction plate is known for energy efficiency. But is running an induction hob economical? Or would you go broke using it due to soaring energy bills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, our professional chefs have done detailed research to debunk facts and myths. So, here\u2019s the information you don\u2019t want to miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On average, by using one ring, your hob is consuming 1.95kW per hour. Currently, the average electricity cost in the UK is 34p per kWh. So, now, if you use one ring of induction plate, it\u2019ll cost you \u00a30.66 per hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n But doesn’t it come with the label of energy efficient as compared to different types of hobs<\/a><\/strong>? Let\u2019s find out the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No, induction hobs are not expensive to run. While cooking, it transfers heat directly to food rather than heating the pan surface first. Being a foodie, our team loves to perform experiments all the time. So, to guide you properly, we decided to make English Tea for five on gas, ceramic and induction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how long it takes to bring a boil to a saucepan full of water:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As 90% of the heat was transformed to water directly. So, even though it utilizes more power per hour, the efficient transform minimizes the cooking time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n A cooking zone of an induction cooktop consumes around 1.95kW of energy per hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIs An Induction Hob Expensive To Run?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It eventually reduces the cooking time. That results in less use of induction cooktops. So, it is cheap to use them in the long run compared to ceramic halogen hobs<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do We Test It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
