Low or Medium Gas Pressure

[iMCaan]

I've not heard of that before. It's probably because of gas extractor fans or air vents not working efficiently.

 

I've had another quote from a gas engineer:

Labour only £3.4k (gas boiler + cylinder + 3 radiators + pipes + fittings)

There is a bit of a myth that you need heavy, think based pans on an induction hob, you don't.  If people manage to burn stuff on an induction hob it is because they have the power/temperature set to high for what they are doing.

Thick based pans are a legacy of old electric cookers with a glowing spiral

 

Not entirely true FYI.

 

Many induction hobs revert to "pulsed" power at the lower outputs. It is often pot vs ring size sensitive.

 

If you try to cook at a low output with a thin pan, it's like waving a thin pan through a gas flame for 6 seconds off / 3 seconds on, and you won't have an even heat.

 

The pans with substance to them will smooth this.

 

So will nicer hobs.

Mine is a very cheap Russell Hobbs, and is excellent.

Not my experience at all, and I use gas at work, and a variety of different pans.

Good for you!

 

IKEA basic for me the first time.

 

Bashed up Bora the second time (still to be installed - new glass in these €300 BTW so if you see a smashed one nab it)

 

Wanting to try the hob in a shop for the third one. 🙂

 

(different places; not unreliable units replaced)

 

Don't assume they're all the same is my suggestion.
