Induction Hobs

[rah^]

So I've come to the conclusion I genuinely hate my current ceramic hob (its terrible and my child has started to consider it's ok to touch the hob)

So its upgrade time - now I know abit about induction (yes I know I'll need to invest in some new pans!) however I am unsure as to what qualifies as a good make these days?

I have cira £300 for the hob and abit spare then for the new pans required so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

We've just moved to a house with a NEFF induction hob and it's great. Ours is mid range but they start around £350. Be aware it still does get hot from the pan's heat - it's not safe to touch all the time.

Yep I know they do get hot from the heat but from my understanding nowhere near as bad as the current ceramic thing I have, nor do they retain the heat for aslong?

I could stretch the budget abit more, I'd rather get something thats long term rather than just change it

Don't forget to factor in you might need 10mm cable back to consumer unit - I Had to run one to it's own RCD or whatever it was called.

Had a Siemens for 6 years now and it's so much better than halogen. - We did have to bin a load of non Induction Circulon pans though.

I paid 98 quid for a swiss grill pan if that helps but all pans are Circulon Infinity.

The current hob has its own 32amp breaker in the consumer unit although I would have an electrician check things over before I buy!

Are you not on mains gas ? Much cheaper and not that hard to keep clean.

Certainly don't buy a cheap induction hob - had one in a holiday cottage once and it was utter garbage.

Unfortunately no, its all electric here

looks like plenty of feedback!

Many thanks guys - its a no brainer for me considering things around my place - a minor investment for a sizeable upgrade!
