The principle of an induction stove prevents it from heating up without cookware placed on it. On top of that, any induction stove I‘ve used detects if it‘s turned on without cookware and turns itself off after a couple of seconds.
It doesn‘t get safer than this.
- Freak_NL 2y agoAbsolutely. Compared to gas knobs which when turned on without igniting the flame will just flood your home with an inflammable gas. Still, I have one of those now, and beyond the usual “did I turn the gas off?” frittering on holiday, this is never an issue. In fact, most households in the Netherlands still have this type of hob or stove (the percentage is lower but still considerable in many other countries).
- echoangle 2y agoDoesn't every modern gas fired device have a mechanism that doesn't let gas flow if there is no heat by the flame? Every Gas BBQ I know has that, is that not the case for stoves?
- Freak_NL 2y agoModern stuff? Possibly. Most of the hobs still in use today? Nope. Turn knob, get gas. Mine has a separate button for the piezo ignition. There don't seem to be particularly many accidents with these either.
