Doesn't sound a good inducement to buy an induction hob, especially if you are trying to cook something like rice or spaghetti. I would prefer not to use gas, but at least if you set it it stays. Even wood does as it is told. |
the adjusting as mentioned by Dpack sounds like it is behaving as it ought, but turning up or down spontaneously when someone walks by, as described by Jema, is a fault. My induction hob has not developed this fault, and I wouldn't live with it if it did (each to their own choice though).
I was reluctant to convert to induction from gas, and only did so for my son as it is easier and safer than gas.. but I am completely glad I did - they are far more adjustable than gas, (you can have a much lower temperature than is possible with a gas ring, for example) and considerably less dangerous. Also much easier to clean and more efficient. I'm a convert for sure ![](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

all my cast iron pans work fine on the induction hob, and I agree with NMG that a cast iron pan and a basic induction hob is the perfect combo. And as my cast iron pans work well on the wood fired range too, its easy to swap from one to the other mid cooking, which I find I do a fair bit. So I might brown the meat using the induction hob, then move the pot over to the range for slow cooking.
my cast iron pans are a mix of le 'expensive brand and supermarket ones
The only issue with an induction hob is some slow cookers are designed for use on hob as well as the slow cooker bit, and they don't work on induction. Not a biggy as far as I am concerned, I prefer a ceramic pot for slow cooker, to avoid non stick coatings, which are what the ones you can use on the hob have.
my induction hob has touch buttons, and if I drop an oven glove on them or something it complains, but tbh I think the hob has a point and I should not be leaving oven gloves on it! Not like a gas hob though.. where the glove would be on fire.... |
