Induction hob

We regard ours as the best piece of equipment we have ever bought, for all the reasons that others have stated.

Love mine . Have had two and both good. Very controllable, wipes clean in a minute and let oks much nicer then any other kind of hob and you can buy in several different finishes/ colours .

Sorry sent pre check. Looks ok not let oks

So easy to clean. I don't think mine's the best, its an AEG my Sis-iL & DiL have what looks like the same model & it's a bit temperamental. I love gas to cook on but as expected the induction was super-fast after my ceramic hob.

We needed new wiring for it too.

I have never cooked with gas.
I inherited a Bosch one when I moved into my last house. Apart from having to get only iron /steel pans, I found it fantastic. Loved it. Sadly, in this place I have a ceramic one which isn’t half as good.

We love our Neff hob. It's really precise and fast and so easy to clean. But I dislike any glass-like surface which can so easily become accidentally scratched, and decided this time to buy some special cooking mats which keep the pan bottoms from actually touching the hob. Result is a pristine surface which always looks like new.

I’ve cooked on an induction hob for 20 years now and would never have anything else. My dd still has gas and prefers it but I think it’s smelly and messy and would never go back to it.

I have an induction hob and love it. It has a special button to boost each ring which can boil water instantly. Maybe your GD has t found it yet.

I love my Neff twist & turn knob.
We had a gas hob & it was the Bain of my life cleaning it. I always think gas Hobbs look grubby no matter how much you clean them.
I do put paper towels under my pans to prevent scratches & mess,(make sure you have liquid in your pan) stops pan burning.
Five minutes tops to clean with soapy wet sponge & wipe with damp cloth, dry off with those paper towels.
Super quick too.

I love my induction hob. But when you put it on to boil do not turn your back on it as it boils very quickly but once turned down its instant. Have one with crosses not circles . Cross will take any size pan on each one so my milk pan or my preserving pan will work on any of the 4. If you have circles it will only take the size of pan the circle is.

To test your pans to see if they are suitable for an induction hob if a magnet sticks to the bottom it will work. If it doesn't you need to by new pans.

Easy to clean I just use a washing up water and sponge , dry with kitchen roll. Had one since 2019 looks like new.

Isn't Gransnet great! Any question. So many helpful answers.

My daughter has one but I hate the b.thing. I love my gas top with 2 electric ovens underneath. Horses for courses and all that. Me, I wanna see a flame.

I had a Neff hob fitted when we changed our kitchen and wouldn’t have anything else now. I had to ditch a lovely set of Stellar pans which were not compatible and buy new ones that were but that was the only hardship. It has a boost function that bring liquid to the boil faster than any kettle and - very important for me these days - if you remove a pan and forget to turn the ring off, it does it for you! It has a child safety lock and I have accidentally locked it a few times and had to Google how to unlock it again! Most people will never have to do this!

Me too. I keep all my kitchen instructions in a folder with plastic inserts.
So hobb sleeve, I’ve written on the plastic cover hold & press the P button 3secs, instead of having to route through the whole book.

My OH chose ours and I must admit that I was sceptical at first but I’m more than impressed! It is fabulous………remove the pan and it turns itself off!…….no wasted energy, no forgotten flames to cause a fire! We didn’t even have to buy new pans as our own were suitable for induction hobs.

After 38 years of gas hobs, really like it now. Very controllable and easy to clean.

My 10 year old Bosch still looks like new and I wouldn't use a gas hob or anything other than a good induction hob now. fwiw I'm pacemaker dependent and use my hob daily without any issue, my consultant just told me not to lie on the hob!

I've got used to mine but would always prefer gas. Sadly, no gas in our village!

Until yesterday I would have been singing the praises of induction hops. Mine is middle of the road and is a Rangemaster The hob has gone again The cooker is about six or seven years old and for the second time it’s gone. The first time it task about six weeks to fix via Rangemaster themselves He tried to fix it first time but had to replace the whole top not a cheap job Just gone yesterday evening Guy said he will be round when in are area 🤞

Loved mine
Great low maintenance
Usually a couple of ‘power’ rings and I anyways found it great.
Moved and have expensive gas hob now ☹️
Get one! 😘

Luv mine. It’s a neff. One thing is hey are contraindicated if you have a pacemaker. People,of our age might have one. So thought I’d mention it

I have a small induction hob which I absolutely love as it heats very quickly and is easy to control as it’s so responsive. It’s very easy to clean too. You obviously need cookware that is suitable for an induction hob otherwise it won’t work properly. I think also if you’re one of those cooks who’s used to lifting up a pan or wok from a gas ring and tossing the contents around you might find cooking on an induction hob difficult at first as the pan must stay in contact with the hob. As a compromise you could order a cheap portable single hob from Amazon and see if you like cooking on that before making any decisions to switch. An extra plug in hob is always very useful at Christmas time for re-heating something quickly.

We've got a Beko induction hob and it's anything but slow. It reacts just as well as my sills gas hob. I love it.

I love mine. I had/have two 'complaints'. One is that it shrieks at me if I put anything other than a pan near the controls. This is obviously a safety thing and I just have to be a bit disciplined. The other was the time I had to stand with my finger on the control to turn it off from full on. My daughter (more tecchie than me) shared that if I press boost then plus that turns it off. It is a lovely piece of kit!

I have an induction hob, and must be the only one who doesn't like it.
The hob was fitted by an electrician when we had a new kitchen several years ago, but we aren't sure whether he fitted it correctly.
You can only have 2 pans boiling at the same time, when boiled you can turn on any others to heat up. Also, when the sun is in a certain direction you can hardly see the touchscreen to read the numbers.
I would change it tomorrow if I could.
