Hope there is someone out there to help.

I am truly fed up, cheesed off and had enough of cleaning up the spills on proper cooker which boils over the second my back is turned, so must replace dead portable induction hob.

Old portable induction hob
had a funny simmer on it where when it was turned down to a low heat the food in the pan bubbled rapidly then stopped, it didn't have a steady heat to simmer continuously.

Can any one suggest a double portable make that does simmer properly, my previous AEG (left at last home)
induction cooker had steady simmer so know they are out there, unfortunately the simmer bit isn't a piece of information given in any of the descriptions of these devices.

I bought a portable induction hob ( 2 rings) from Lidl a while ago, it was really cheap and a good back up when we are cooking for a crowd. Of course being Lidl, you never know when they'll have them in. Why don't you replace "proper cooker" though?

Hi Suzied, moved into house with large range cooker, to replace with same size decent one with induction hob (been looking at the Falcon) would cost over three grand, if we were planning on staying long term would be worth it, but we aren't.
Replacing with normal cooker would mean new kitchen .

I bought one ring Lidl, haven't seen the two ring ones in there, has lasted just over the year, using to bring to boil then placing pan on low setting on the range, does your double one have the weird on/off simmer? The AEG induction cooker we bought for old house simmered continually on low setting 'till turned off.
