Do many of you have an Induction hob and do you like it.
My GD has just moved to a new home where one is installed.
They said that 3 of their friends have them and do not rate them highly.
I have a gas hob and had been considering changing it purely for the clean tidy look of an Induction.
My GD having used it is not thrilled, she says it is very slow compared to my gas one.
Any really happy users?

DIL has one. Only issue is that unless you check with the control panel it it difficult to tell if on or off.

It is as fast as gas, but you do have to move the pan off to stop cooking, unlike gas

My GD and her partner called after work yesterday and read all your comments, thank you all so much.
They have now found a booster switch, no instruction book was left, and are happier with it.
They also love the cleaning aspect, one wipe and it’s done.
I am so pleased I asked the question.

They could find an instruction book on line. It would have the name of the manufacturer on the hob. Just look it up.

I have an induction hob on the top of my Aga and find it is excellent. It has a rapid boil setting, which boils a saucepan of water in around 2mins and the touch controls are immediate and effective.
