Both products have the ability to turn the power to a cooker off in order to prevent a potential fire.
However, the timer product only turns off a cooker that has been left on for a prolonged period of time, yet an induction hob fire can start in as little as 1.5 to 2 minutes and a conventional electric hob fire can start within just 6 minutes.
