Induction hob dilemma
Comments (13)Lucy it's a Neff I89EH52NOB island hood. I think if I bought another I would go for the one without glass the I79MT64N1B which covers the whole hob area. I find I have to have mine on high power so that it pulls the steam from the pans on the flexi zone areas of the hob. I like the ceiling extractors but I wasn't sure how efficient and noisy they would be as they have to pull the steam from quite a distance. The flexi hob is amazing and I love having it on the island. Good luck with your renovation....See MoreAdvice on hobs - domino for gas & induction?
Comments (4)I am on my second induction hob. Both in an island. Would I swap back to gas (which was what I had previously) not a chance. Induction all the way. It's economical to run, fast as most rings have booster buttons and very clean. Image cooking a frying pan of bacon and sausage. The spit of the fat goes everywhere. With gas you have to dismantle the whole top of the hob. With an induction hob you spray with something like Ciff and wipe off with a damp cloth. Buff with a microfibre cloth and hey presto done. My first was an AEG which was brilliant. Almost 10 years later and poof, caput. I now have a Bosch which is excellent but doesn't have the option of having the booster on every ring at the same time. Just a small thing, other to that no difference between the two. Choose no edging on for easy clean and no knobs. I cannot praise the invention of induction jobs enough. Absolutely marvellous....See MoreInduction 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 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 MoreCarolina
