The cooktop surface is cool to the touch, and a lot of models come with safety features such as automatic shutoff to prevent accidents.

Induction hobs are usually ceramic or glass that have an alternating current that creates a magnetic field to heat. Induction-compatible pans must have flat bases and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed over the cooking zone. Most hobs feature an 'bridging zone' that allows two zones to be joined to accommodate larger pans.

Induction hobs are known for efficiency. Many report an improvement in their energy usage when they change to one. Induction hobs are also considered to be safer, as the surface of the cooktop remains cool to the touch and decreases the chance of burning. They only heat the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than gas or electric hobs that can become very hot.

Most induction hobs come with different types of controls that are the simplest being the simple power bar or touch mark on the surface of the hob, or a fully functional TFT display which displays all the options and allows you to adjust the power levels, set timers and more. Hobs that are induction equipped with more advanced technology have many copper coils of varying sizes that are that are tightly grouped together under the cooktop.
