Right chaps, myself and the family are moving to our new house soon. Missus made a bit of an error as she sold out cooker to our buyer, then found out our vendor is taking theirs with them. Good thing is that I now get to choose a new cooker.

Our current house has a ceramic hob which I have been trying to get used to since I moved in, but I find that it is far less controllable than gas, which is to be expected.

Now I am a modern man and I like things to look tidy. I quite fancy an induction cooker due to them looking good, being much easier to control, and being far easier to clean. I have also realsied that none of my pans will work with one, but then that is anither excuse to get some nice new Circulon pans.

Or do I just go with what any half decent cook will say and go with gas?

Has anyone got an induction hob who has previously used gas? How do you find it?

I've used both in my time as a chef. I love induction. Efficient, safe and more powerful than gas. As I've said in another thread, you need to get good pans though (although that's the same with gas), as you wont get the full benefit of the cooking surface with cheap crap.

Thanks for the advice, I was hoping someone had used both in a professional capacity. I have used indcution myself once, which was on a professional cookery course. I was pretty impressed with them, especially how sensitive and adjustable they are compared to normal electric / ceramic. I am aware my pans will all have to go. Seem these which I will get if I take the plunge - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8432728.htm

Still hunting for a decent free standing cooker which will nt break the bank. Still think the belling I linked to in my previous post is good value.
