Ceramic electric rings are a fairly recent development in cooking technology. The principle is relatively simple: a heat source, usually an electric element, is located under a glass-ceramic plate.

The source transmits heat across the glass in the form of infra-red waves. On striking any container placed on top, the light waves are reconverted into heat.
