    It’s not cheap shit its expensive shit. You can get really expensive good stuff but the cheap shit should last 10 yrs plus until you want a change again as long as its designed & fitted properly.

    So, we need a new kitchen. Now, I think modern kitchens are up there with double glazing for crookery, cheap shit that can cost thousands. Anyone got any positive stories or recommendations to cheer me up.

    many thanks.

    I so hated my induction hob I changed back to a ceramic one.

    The slightest drip of steam on the hob and it bleeped until dried; knock a pan slightly sideways and it bleeped. Finally the flush controls got so hot we couldn’t remove the lock one of us had turned on in error. We had to wait 20 minutes till they had cooled sufficiently to put a…[Read more]

    I have one fitted last year in my new kitchen, extractor the same width as hob and as offered by kitchen company. I had to read the manual as I couldn’t actually figure out how to turn it on…… any passing cat would have an issue to be honest, the on/off touch area is very small!!! I love it.

    Standard stainless steel pans will work fine – they are not heavy, and the induction hob is really easy to use. Heats immediately, and is touch hot when you take a pan off. Also, a lot easier to clean than gas or electric.

    We have an induction hob. Never heard about having to have a specific size of hood though. We’ve had ours for about eight years and the hood is still in its box in the spare room…..

    Any ferrous metal-based pans should work. If a magnet doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan, then it won’t work on an induction hob as they work by magnetic induction.

    I’ve got an induction hob with same size extractor too, never heard or seen anything else??

    I bought circulon pans for it in the sales a couple of years ago, they are fab. I can’t actually cook tho’ so maybe not the best example

    I stayed at a hotel recently and the carvery had a notice on it. ‘This is an induction hob, please do not stand within two feet of it of you are wearing a pacemaker’. People had to shout their order at the omelette chef on the other side, it was a big hob!

    tda because of how the hob works it can mess with pacemakers if you have one, magnetic fields or something like that. It could alter how the pacemaker is set up, they should tell you in the show room when you buy one.

    I’ve had several design appointments today, I haven’t made a hob decision but no one suggested this, as it would have been a decider from a space point of view.
    Though I also didn’t know that you didn’t have to have ducting extractors these days either 🙂

    I had a normal width hood with my induction hob in a previous house. My dad is a stickler for following rules and regs and he thought it was fine 😀

    Fab hobs, I really miss it!

    We had a new induction hob a few years ago and a cooker hood of exactly the same width. It seems to do its job well enough.

    I don’t know about the hood, but I hope no-one in the family has a pacemaker?

    I was very surprised when I read it but it seems that that is the recommendation. Do you have a cooker hood hp, and if so I guess its only the same width as the hob? I really don’t want a wacking great cooker hood if I can get away with it!

    Never heard of that. They are brilliant and would never now use anything else.
