POLL: Gas or induction hob?
Comments (52)I love gas, it gives you great control, my food is so much better, less burning, better crusts on steaks... and gas and copper are increadibly fast to repond for delicate sauces - something the induction pots and pans I have used so far just can't match. Add to that, gas works when there is no electricity - a problem where I live - and is incredibly inexpensive compared to electricity. I grew up using gas, and I was soooo jealous of all my friends who had electric, until I finally got electric in my first home. it was TERRIBLE! Jealousy gone, I spent 15 years in agony in the kitchen until I could aford to go back to gas. Now, with induction, it is faster to respond than electricity, but it still requires electricity, and I'm still dealing with the learning curve. It is easier to do a wipedown from simple, non-technical cooking, but you have to be very careful, as the glass tops scratch, and are fragile and much of my beautiful cookware is useless - my heavy cast iron scratches, and can easily shatter an induction top and my lovely copper cookware doesn't work on induction. So, I vote for both. A couple of induction burners for what it does best, and using my multiply stainless steel, and for quick cleanup and gas where it excels....See MoreHob or Sink - What do you do on your Island?
Comments (20)I hate islands. Why have a big kitchen and turn it into a little one? I reckon they'll soon be getting ripped out all over the UK like hatches were. Remember when they were cool? The secret of good hosting is to prep and cook as much in advance as you can, then sit and drink wine (or tea, vimto, absinthe etc if you must) with your guests. I'm a bit of a design snob, I admit, but these things have the stench of 'nouveau ' all over them. Don't do it people....See MoreMoveable kitchen island with induction hob - opinions
Comments (20)For me this is just a concept for now. I will not be at the stage to commission anything for a while. I am hoping the idea will take off and by the time I am ready to redo my kitchen I will be able to pick one up off the shelf. I imagine you could have two types - one more portable by lifting but still stable when cooking, that could be a cheaper version - and a luxury version - stone top, and steel base with hydraulic wheels as you suggested BIR. People seem to argue about what is better - kitchen table or island but this hybrid could have the benefits of both. I imaging you could design a lid for the induction hob so it would essentially be a table when the hob is not in use. I guess people might say a portable hob would have the same benefits and be more flexible but from the pictures they look more precarious than a flat level hob. Also if cooking a family meal it would be common to use three or maybe four hobs and then the portable hobs would take up more space. What do you think? If it could be made safe is it a product you could see working for many people or am I just being eccentric?...See Moreinduction hob size help for island
Comments (42)Mine was an 800 before I removed the glass - the main fan section is smaller of course so I presume that it’s the actual canopy that makes the difference ie if the extractor canopy is 800 with an 800 hob then most of the steam that rises, should hit the top of the canopy and be drawn towards the extractor. Even though we removed the glass on ours, it will be set into a suspended wood canopy so in effect, the steam should do the same thing. I’m told induction hobs are super steamy, ha ha. We got a Neff extractor which is also v quiet so hoping it does the trick!...See More
