We currently have an standalone electric hob for cooking on and are thinking of moving over to an induction hob. Has anyone done this - what are the pros and cons of doing so? Any brands people would recommend/not recommend? We know we would have go get all new saucepans/pans etc as they are not suitable for an induction hob if we do move. Any other information anyone can give us. Anyone know of any good deals at the moment on induction hobs?
Thanks
Chefs always preferred gas over electric hobs because they were more responsive and easier to regulate. A lot of pro kitchens have been switching to induction though as you get the same benefits plus significantly higher efficiency (less wasted heat into the surrounding air) making for a more pleasant working environment.as good as gas (other half is a chef!).
Eh, not really.........2KW is 2KW, however having said that, with induction, upto ≈ 85% of that power is used for cooking, compared with upto ≈75%electricity usage is negligible (compared to electric hob)
So going on actual bills, your usage will be lower compared to the electric hob.So definitely more efficient and quicker to heat.
They are both electric hobs and yes your actual usage should be less using induction to heat/cook.So going on actual bills, your usage will be lower compared to the electric hob.
We try and cook every day from scratch so should notice a saving!They are both electric hobs and yes your actual usage should be less using induction to heat/cook.
But whether you notice this or not will depend, not least on how much cooking you do.
What would happen if a pot boiled over?I think IKEA are pushing these recently, and the extractor fans built into the hob (pulling steam down) was something new to me today too!
They'll all have removable drip-trays that will catch the liquid.What would happen if a pot boiled over?
