Gas or Induction Hob?

[MissTeddy]

Induction Hob ordered today. On your heads be it Tattlers if I fuck up dinners from here on

Love my induction hob. We redid the kitchen in the house we recently moved into and it never had a gas hob so we decided to go with induction and no regrets at all, it's so efficient and much easier to clean than gas.

Something to consider is that not all your current saucepans and frying pans etc. will work on an induction hob and the ones for induction hobs are more expensive. Just depends if you have a lot of them/nice sets you’ll need to replace.

How do i know if the current ones will work - do you know ?

Get a magnet. If it sticks they will work

 

[Jellybean093]

what happens if you use a regular pan on an induction Hob?

Nothing. It doesn’t and won’t work. It will just act as if there’s nothing on the hob. It’s all fun and games!

It takes some time to get used to and I burned a few things but I’d never go back to gas after having induction. Love it so much

ah you’ve made my mind up x

Always had gas. Then new house had induction hob. It isn't a massively expensive one but it is great. When I go to my mums and use her gas hob I do miss it slightly. But then I see the burnt on bits of food on the rings etc and remember that my hob is totally flat, no knobs etc and so easy to clean!

Induction heats up quickly, adjusts just as quick as gas and is easier to clean.

I wouldn't go back to gas unless I had a kitchen big enough for a range cooker with electric oven, gas hob and space for an induction hob too so basically only if I won the lottery

that‘s a winner - anything that’s easier to clean

Brilliant- thank you so much

 

[MissTeddy]

Thanks everyone.
I do find the gas a faff to clean and relieved everyone has been so positive about the induction hobs.

 

[Begborrowsteal]

I always swore by gas. Then we moved into a place with an induction hob and I am a convert! Its fast and easier to manage. I love it!

I would always have gas. Better temperature control than induction.

I had an induction job in my last house, gas here, will be changing it to an induction at some point. I can’t see much difference for cooking but cleaning and induction job is easy a brushed steel hob is time consuming

The first night in our house, and I went to cook dinner. No joke, me and my MIL were standing at the job for an hour wondering why it wasn’t working. Turns out we have induction hob but 1 unintentional induction pan, so, that was fun to learn! We got these pans, which are quite expensive, but they often do deals. I think we got them for £35

They seem reasonable value - I looked to replace my beloved Tefal pancake pan and it’s £46 on John Lewis

I’ll be using a normal frying pan for the foreseeable!

They Are, and I think even for £70 they are decent price. Although when I got them we got a free little frying pan with it.
£46 is a rip off for 1 pan! It’s crazy!

Induction is loads easier to clean and looks a lot nicer in my opinion

 

[Melian]

We got my pans for the induction hob from Lidl and Dunelm.
