What is the difference between an electric ceramic and induction hob?

Electric ceramic hobs use a radiant heating element beneath a glass-ceramic surface — simple and easy to clean. Induction hobs use electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly — faster, more energy-efficient, and cooler to the touch since only the pan heats up. Both are available at Abed Tahan.

Are electric cooktops suitable for Lebanese kitchens?

Yes. Electric ceramic and induction cooktops are popular for Lebanese kitchen renovations — particularly where gas connection is impractical or a modern, integrated aesthetic is desired. They offer a completely flat, easy-to-wipe glass surface that complements contemporary kitchen designs.

Do electric cooktops require special installation?

Yes. Electric cooktops require a dedicated electrical connection — typically 240V. Abed Tahan provides professional installation including the electrical connection by certified technicians across Lebanon.

Which brands offer electric cooktops at Abed Tahan?

Abed Tahan stocks electric ceramic and induction hobs from Gorenje, Samsung, Bosch, and other trusted brands — in standard and wide configurations.

Do induction cooktops require special cookware?

Yes. Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base — cast iron and most stainless steel are compatible. Aluminium and copper pots need an induction-compatible base layer. Abed Tahan's kitchenware range includes induction-compatible cookware — our team can advise on what you already own.
