Induction or Gas Hobs?
Comments (4)I am such a convert! The induction gives just as much control as the gas used to, and only one of my pans didn't work and it wasn't a hardship to get a new one. The safety factor is hugely higher, not to mention easier cleaning! Yes, it was expensive in comparison, but I absolutely love it....See MoreNeed help with induction hob!
Comments (7)This is a common problem with induction hobs i.e. They are too deep for a 30mm worktop with an undermounted oven. Personally I'd steer clear of the cheaper brands of induction hobs. I have a Bosch induction hob which is good but the AEG I had before that was better. The glass top on the Bosch marks easily. I'm also a lover of Neff products. Have a Neff oven....See MoreInduction hobs
Comments (10)I went from gas to hob and overall I have been please with it. The cleaning issue far outweighs some of the minor changes I have had to make to my cooking methods. My hob goes from 1 to 9 with a boost for quick boiling of bug pans of water. Any cooking you're starting with an empty pan but want the pan hot before you put food in, eg stir frying (or pancakes) you meed to heat the pan to say number 5 and then increase up to 8 or 9 for stir frying. It's not good to heat any pan from zero to hero very quickly! For pancakes I go from 5 to 6 or 7 and then back to 5 or 6. Even with gas you have to get the pan hot enough but not too hot for pancakes. I have a Siemens hob, and one of the best features is that you can join 2 zones together for larger pans. I don't regret going from gas to induction and I cook a lot....See MoreAnyone got an induction hob and cook with cast iron on it?
Comments (15)Ah Carolina that's the first time I've read someone saying they miss gas! High pitched noise would annoy the hell out of me. And we will have a flush ceiling extractor (Westin stratus) which apparently works slightly better with gas. Hmmm. What make is yours? OnePlan, I know my flaws, I am lazy so would either skip the j cloth (risky) or leave it on the hob all the time to avoid getting it in and out of a drawer each time (not pretty). I was expecting replies saying it's not a problem! Maybe gas is best for us after all. Just feels a bit... unmodern??...See MoreBarbara Craig
