Another drawback of a ceramic hob is that it may take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This could be a problem if you are working in a bustling, packed kitchen or need to quickly change between cooking zones to another. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this issue and have now launched an array of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by as much as 30%.
