Induction Hob.

Yes I have one, in fact the one I have at present is my 2nd after we had a new kitchen installed a couple of years ago. Having previously had gas in our previous house, I wouldn't want anything other than induction now, they are excellent, hot immediately, easy to clean. When I initially had induction, my pans became redundant as they weren't compatible. Not all pans will work on an induction hobs and it's surprising how many don't have the induction sign in them.

I love mine, just a sheet of glass, no knobs etc to clean, and very speedy.

Some are wider than others, and mine has 2 hobs which are faster than the others.

If something spills when cooking, just move saucepan, wipe glass and bottom of saucepan with damp cloth or towel, and replace - I don't even turn it off. I'd never have anything else.

I recently replaced a gas hob with an induction hob and have to say it's the best thing ever. My old pans got the boot too and I went to Lakeland for some lovely new replacements. Really happy with the hob's instant response and its so easy to keep clean. I did buy one cheap saucepan from Sainsburys just to boil eggs in but it takes longer to heat up, so might want to bear that in mind. Treat yourself. Oh and you can test if your existing pans would work by placing a magnet on the base.

Interested in this thread, as our new kitchen has an induction hob. I am quite happy to ditch the 30 year old Circulon pans. Very good, but have had their day!

I am looking at a set of Judge pans with glas lids. I would like to keep a Le Cruset griddle pan. Will it work?

I had one put in when we had our new kitchen put in two years ago. It took me a while to get used to it, but I like it now. Both my DD and DS have them and are very pleased with them. We all have Neff. What I particularly like is that, whereas I often used to forget to turn the rings on my gas hob off - especially if they were on the lowest setting - this one turns itself off if it can't detect a pan. They are very easy to keep clean. On the downside, I had to change a very good set of pans for ones which were induction compatible, but I got some decent ones from Sainsbury's and they didn't cost the earth.

Did have to buy a new set of pans, but that needed doing anyway.

We've got one and are really happy with it. So much easier to clean, heats up really quickly. Turns itself off if anything boils over. Love it!

Oh! Didn't know that! Actually used an induction job when we stayed in a holiday cottage last year but nothing happened to DH.

You can't use copper bottomed pans on them and also you can't use them if anyone in the family has a pacemaker or heart monitor fitted.

Sends them doo-lally apparently.
