Induction hobs do not get piping hot like your regular gas hobs do. They only get slightly warmer, making them way more safer an option than gas hobs. With an induction hob, you do not have to risk getting burned while or even after cooking (getting a pot of freshly made hot food off from the hob). Another thing that makes it safe is, as soon as you remove a pan from the hob, it gets automatically switched off. So, you don't have to worry about having forgotten to turn off the hob. And isn’t the risk of gas getting emitted into the kitchen and starting a fire always a risk with gas hobs? This risk is completely eliminated with the use of induction hobs. Furthermore, because the combustion fumes getting off a burning hob are complete absent in this case, you never have to feel the familiar irritation on working in an increasingly hot kitchen. The heat generated by an induction hob is radiated back to the hob itself instead of getting released in the kitchen workspace. This makes it safe, healthy, as well as a less bothersome option!
