How It Compares to Traditional Electric Hotplates

Induction hobs like the IH7208 heat the pan directly via electromagnetic induction, not the surface itself — making them generally faster and more energy‑efficient, with cooler surfaces and safer operation. You’ll need induction‑compatible pots and pans (magnetic base), otherwise the unit won’t heat.

Tips for Best Use
