Another disadvantage of a ceramic cooktop is that it can take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This is problematic if you're working in a bustling, crowded kitchen or want to swiftly switch from one cooking zone to another.

Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy efficient cooktops available, since they do not generate heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to avoid using them near them.
