Induction hobs are a great way to heat and cook. Induction hob rings have copper coils under the surface. When a magnetized pan comes in contact with the hob, it generates heat. Induction hobs can heat up as fast as gas and are responsive. It is important to clean it. You’ll be disappointed if your pans and hob don’t perform well.
Pots and pans may not be able to lie flat on an induction hob if the surface is blocked with fat and spilt food. You won’t be capable of creating a magnetic circuit to allow the pan to heat properly. Induction hob owners have good news: the hob heats only the pan and not the surface. This means that any spillage won’t burn on the hob’s surface.
We recommend you clean your induction hob every time it is used to keep it in top condition. If you use your induction hob less often, you can clean it once weekly.

How to clean an induction hob
This is a step-by-step guide to cleaning an induction stove.
Get rid of the mess.
Turn off the hob if you’ve been using it. Let it cool down. Wipe any spills and splatters off the hob surface with a damp cloth.
Use Degreaser
A degreaser is a chemical that removes grease, dirt, and other sticky residues off the induction hob’s surface. Although degreasers can dissolve grease and oil from surfaces, they can cause skin irritation. Use rubber gloves and keep pets and children away from the degreaser area.
Apply the degreaser directly on the hob’s surface and then wipe it with a microfibre towel. Use a second dry cloth to remove any residue.
While the degreaser can remove grease and dirt, it may leave watermarks on your stove. Wiping off any excess degreaser will dry the surface and make it ready to be polished.
Glass Cleaner
To polish your hob to a shine, you should use a glass cleaner. Because they contain chemicals that reduce oil and grease, glass cleaners can be used to polish your hob.
Use the glass cleaner to spray the entire surface of the hob lightly.
Shine
Use a microfibre cloth to wipe the top of your hob using light pressure. This will give the surface a shiny shine. Your hob will shine brighter because glass cleaners do not leave streaks on the surface.
Spray and buff any areas that have watermarks or streaks. Continue this process until you have removed all stains from your hob.
