My GD having used it is not thrilled, she says it is very slow compared to my gas one.

???? Are you sure she'd not confused an induction hob ( instant heat) with a ceramic hob (slower to heat) They only look identical.

I’ve had one for about five years and highly recommend it.
It heats up instantly and responds quickly when turned down.
Also so easy to keep clean just a quick wipe over and it shines like new

I’ve had gas hobs previously which also respond quickly when turned up or down, but I never found it easy to clean.

I did have to buy a couple of new saucepans but some I already owned were compatible.

My AEG induction hob is probably my favourite kitchen purchase.

Daughter has a Samsung one. It’s anything but slow!
I’m thinking of changing my gas hob too, I like the easiness of it

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?
