Make room for the way you cook
From a quick weekday supper to several dishes coming together for guests, a built-in induction hob puts responsive heat control at the heart of your kitchen. Before choosing, measure the worktop cut-out and check the model’s installation drawing, including worktop thickness and ventilation beneath the appliance. Ask a qualified electrician to confirm that your circuit and connection suit the hob, especially when replacing a gas or ceramic model.
Compare cooking zones, controls and cookware
Picture your usual pans on the hob together. A wide frying pan and a large saucepan need enough space to sit comfortably side by side. Where available, linked or flexible zones can accommodate larger cookware; check the model’s guidance for suitable sizes and shapes. Compare how you select zones, adjust the heat and set timers, so everyday cooking feels straightforward.
Induction needs compatible cookware with a suitable magnetic base. Check your pans’ induction markings and the hob’s minimum base-size requirements before choosing. Bring your kitchen measurements, photographs and existing hob’s model number to VALÀ, and tell us what you enjoy cooking. These details help our team narrow your shortlist around your kitchen and routine.

Frequently asked questions
Will an induction hob fit my existing worktop opening?
Not automatically. The overall width and the required cut-out are different measurements, and installation requirements vary between models. Compare the installation drawing with your opening, worktop thickness and space beneath the hob. Your installer should confirm ventilation, clearances and the electrical connection before fitting.
Can I use my existing pans on an induction hob?
You may be able to, provided they are induction-compatible. Check the cookware manufacturer’s guidance and any induction symbol on the base. The base size must also suit the cooking zone, so check your smallest saucepan as well as your larger pans.
Can I browse online and get advice in-store before buying?
Yes. Explore built-in induction hobs on our website, then visit our store in Malta to discuss your shortlist. Bring your measurements and photographs so our team can help you compare suitable options before you buy online or in-store.
