A comparison of different hobs, induction, electric or ceramic to reduce electricity consumption.
induction hobs have the advantage of consuming little electricity.
They heat up very quickly and therefore will remain in operation for a shorter time than other types of plates, which corresponds to a reduction of around 30% in your electricity consumption.
They also have the strongest power, and extreme precision so you don't miss your recipes.
They are also very easy to clean and the risk of burns is minimal.
The disadvantages are that they cost more than other plates, in the 600 euros or more.
The vitroceramic plates have the advantage of heating relatively well and being easy to clean. A light indicates when they are hot and therefore the risk of burning is also limited. The purchase price is also more attractive than induction hobs which is around 400 euros or more.
On the other hand, their electricity consumption is the highest, which can be penalizing in the long term. The cooling time is also very long.
The electric plates classics are the cheapest, which is pretty much their only advantage.
With a fairly long heating time, the latter consume a lot of electricity and cool slowly, which increases the risk of burns.
Induction hobs are indeed the most expensive to buy, but their cost of long-term use is 30% cheaper than the others. If you cook a lot, these are the most economical plates.
On the other hand, if you do not cook regularly, ceramic hobs will certainly be more economical.
