The day my induction hob went in our new kitchen I danced with joy. 15 years of a Britannia supposedly the best range gas cooker that bloody ruined everything I cooked was finally over.
we got a Neff from John Lewis (not the dumb Wickes version with the magnetic button you can lose, and I definitely would lose, you can’t cook without it, dumb or what!)
I’ve got a five ring version with a rectangle on the right that two rings can be joined together for one large pan, suits my oval le cruset.
I had to get rid of pretty much all my pans but there’s a test facility which tells you if the pan is ok or not. My only annoying one was my Maslin jam making pan. I got a simple set from John Lewis of three pans and added a large pot and lid. A couple of frying pans completely sorted my cooking requirements.
I don’t miss the gas, the cleaning of the gas hob, just a quick wipe with a cloth and an induction hob cleaner occasionally.
ours is a top of the range one, I also got an oven, microwave with warming drawer (with bread prooving) below and we got a kit of strips of aluminium so the three items look like a range cooker. All neff. The oven has a self clean which is fabulous.
when I open the kitchen door every morning it makes me very happy. We did the kitchen in 2019 knocking down a few walls.
it heats up really quickly, we got and induction kettle as it’s slightly cheaper than my fast boil plug in, the only down side it being careful you don’t boil pans over and the water drips down the front and into the five glass door of the oven and the bit it gets is the fifth bit of glass and is a big job to remove and clean. But other wise I LOVE it.
