Induction hob

I have an induction hob, took some getting used to but am happy with it now. If you change from a gas hob check your pans, not all will work on an induction hob, use a fridge magnet to check, if the magnet sticks to the pan it is ok, if it doesn’t stick you will need a replacement that works with an induction hob.

We’re on our second induction hob and neither have been slow. So easy to clean and safe. Most pans are suitable but best to check. Preferences over gobs will vary I know, we’re very pleased with induction. .

They are great but one point ... People with pacemakers can generally use induction hobs safely, provided they maintain a distance of at least 60 cm (2 feet) from the active cooking surface and avoid leaning over it. Because opinions and individual medical device models vary, there are mixed views on the practical ease of cooking while keeping that required clearance.

They are also safe with children and older people

Mine’s fast and super easy to clean. I love it. Butterandjam is right. Your DD may be confusing it with a ceramic hob which is slow.

I had one put in to replace the gas hob in my new home its also AEG its great heats almost instantly its very controllable even turns itself off once a pans removed. So easy to clean and just looks so much better than the awful big gas hob. I wouldnt ever have anything else now.

I changed from gas after 40 years with some trepidation. It’s just as fast, very easy to clean and takes all pan sizes. Definitely worth it for ease of cleaning alone. I love it. The 3 downsides I found - it’s magnetic so not suitable for someone with a pacemaker, which may not affect your household at all. Secondly, be very careful not to drop anything heavy on the edge as it crumbles and can crack right across. Thirdly, the gas hob provided heat and enabled cooking even during power cuts. We have very few so it’s fine for us but some areas seem to have more.

Induction hobs are quick, safe and so easy to clean.

They are wonderful and I wouldn’t have anything different. They are quick, clean, instant and very controllable. I have now lived in three houses and they have been different makes. The only recommendation I would make is make sure it is a good make as they can differ.

My GD having used it is not thrilled, she says it is very slow compared to my gas one.

???? Are you sure she'd not confused an induction hob ( instant heat) with a ceramic hob (slower to heat) They only look identical.

I’ve had one for about five years and highly recommend it.
It heats up instantly and responds quickly when turned down.
Also so easy to keep clean just a quick wipe over and it shines like new

I’ve had gas hobs previously which also respond quickly when turned up or down, but I never found it easy to clean.

I did have to buy a couple of new saucepans but some I already owned were compatible.

My AEG induction hob is probably my favourite kitchen purchase.

Daughter has a Samsung one. It’s anything but slow!
I’m thinking of changing my gas hob too, I like the easiness of it
