How Induction Hobs work

An Induction Hob heats in a dynamically
new way. A very strong magnetic field is
created by electricity running through an
electrical coil positioned under a ceramic
plate. The ‘induction current’, created by
the magnetic field, generates heat in any
magnetic cookware, when standing on the
ceramic plate.

Features

The Stellar Portable ‘Touch Control’ Dual
Zone Induction Hob has many advantages:

• Safe: Only the pans are heated - the

ceramic plate remains relatively cool.

• Clean: Because the ceramic plate stays

relatively cool, spilt food will not burn-on
to the surface, and can be simply wiped
off at the end of cooking.

• Energy Efficient: Induction Hobs consume

less electricity.

• Controllable: Hob temperatures can be

set in 8 steps -

220°C

180°C

140°C

90°C

80°C

60°C

40°C

100°C

• Please note these temperature settings

are approximate and must be used as a
guide only. Temperatures will vary + or ­10° depending upon the type of cookware
used

• Cooking temperatures are reached in

seconds: then heat can be reduced from
a fast boil to a gentle simmer extremely
quickly compared to conventional hobs.

• Easy to use: sensitive ‘touch control’

switches - positive and easy to clean.

Suitable cookware for
Induction Hob use

Only pans that are MAGNETIC can be used
on Induction Hobs. Most recent Stellar,
Judge, and Horwood cookware is induction­ready, and is described as ‘Suitable for ALL
Hobs’. Some cookware, although made of
non-magnetic materials, has special Bases
which allow efficient working on Induction
Hobs. It is easy to see if your current
cookware is suitable for use on an Induction
Hob - just see if a fridge magnet will stick
to the Base of the pans. If it does, the pan is
magnetic and will heat on an Induction Hob.

SUITABLE PANS

• Enamel Coated Steel, with or without a

non-stick coating.

• Cast Iron cookware, with or without an

enamel-coated base.

• Stainless Steel cookware specially

designed for Induction Hob use ­described on Stellar, Judge and Horwood
packaging as ‘Suitable for
ALL hob types’.

• Aluminium and ‘Hard Anodised’

cookware, ONLY if it has bases specially
constructed for Induction Hob Use.

UNSUITABLE PANS

• Glass, Ceramic, Earthenware, Aluminium,

Copper, unless the pans are fitted with
special Induction Hob Bases. Suitability
for Induction Hob use is usually made
clear on current cookware packaging.

• Any pan with a Base diameter of less

than 12cm.

The portable induction hob can be inset
into a typical kitchen worktop, so long as
the following guides are considered:

• Aperture required is 27cm x 50cm

• Allow adequate ventilation to the

underside all round, especially around
(10) the air circulation ports

• Ensure no ferrous (magnetic) metal is

placed within 15cm under the hob.

• We do not advice using a silicone mastic

to seal the hob in place, simply allow
gravity to hold it in place.
