Advantage of an induction hob.

Bit bored while waiting for rest of supper to cook.

Thought I would post up a short video of my milk based pepper sauce.

Amazing how even it heats, especially as it is a very cheap hob, with extremely cheap pan.

I don’t like my Bosch one very much. If water spills over then it goes nuts. I’ll have to stick with it for now as I have no gas supply.

Our Electra Elecheib hob cuts off if a saucepan over boils.

So does mine. Then it’s wipe down time switch the hob off then on again but any moisture left switches it off again then when switched back on we have no control over the temperatures etc. . Apart from that it’s brilliant.

If you are boiling something say potatoes, turning it down to 8 once boiling keeps them boiling but massively reduces them boiling over

We installed an induction hob in our barn conversion probably 15 years ago. As others have said it's lovely to cook on but touch controls can be a pain especially when you want to turn something down in a rush as it about to boil over. Recently moved into the old farmhouse and the first thing we did was rip out the LPG AGA which as to be the most inefficient and just all round dreadful cooker ever invented. Over 2K a year in bulk tank LPG to heat one room, the hot water and cook. Picked up a SH, faulty Falcon range cooker with induction hob. Not a cheap fix but ended up a third the price of a new one. Knobs for controls and no turning itself off when you boil something over so now it's our favourite cooker ever

We installed a 4 ring induction hob and a 2 ring propane backup for power cuts when we built the house ~8 years ago.  I think we used the gas rings once in anger just to see if they worked.  All cooking means have their foibles, but IMO I'd never go back to gas or conventional electric.
