In the last stages of choosing a new hob.
Wanting induction for looks etc and also greener but wondering whether to have one where there are 2 induction and 2 normal ceramic on one hob so as to use non-inductions pans. Any thoughts?
Also wondering whether to have flush fit. Can’t quite envisage these. Is there a gap (albeit tiny) between top and hob which has to have silicone or similar? Sounds naff?
Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
Hi
Have you come across one with two of each then? As all the ones I have come across have been one or the other.
I presume when you say flush fit you are thinking of a frameless glass like this Neff? I would seal it down with silicon just to stop any food particles getting trapped.
HTH 🙂

Yes, either all induction or all halogen (you said “ceramic” but I guess you were referring to halogen?) but not both together, pointless really. 🙂
Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
Yes AEG do one with 2 halogen and 2 ceramic Highlight zone (their words). Model HK634110FB.
The idea for me would be having induction which is what I want but the others for use with any old pan I might have.
I don’t know what type the Highlight is. They just say ceramic
Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
As for the fit there seems to be 4 types, one or more SS edged edges, frameless which sticks up above with a 90 deg edge, bevelled/chamfered which also sticks up but with a gentler edge and flush which means it is level with the worktop and doesn’t stick up at all.
Such as this one:

I thought you had found an induction/ ceramic mix, which I knew nothing of 😆
Indeed as you have found out there are quite a few choices to be made when it comes to style and design.
when it comes to installation you will need to allow adequate ventilation for the fans to function correctly and as such they can only be installed over a single oven as per the manufacturers instructions.

Don you have confused me as the AEG is a mix of ceramic and halogen.
As for the flush one (different model) it’s quite what it looks like I am after. I
have seen lods that sit on the work top but not a flush oneRe: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit

Not trying to confuse you honest, I was referring to your original post.

Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
Exactly. This model has both ceramic and induction:

Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
Not having been asked for that combination before I did not realise there was such an item, but I do now.
Thanks for that 😀

Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
Sounds okay, it certainly will save on having to buy a whole set of new pots and pans, just a few favourites to start with.
What I don’t see is why have ceramic plates when induction uses less energy, plates heat quicker, very little residual heat remains once pan is removed and are easier to control.

Re: Induction v ceramic hob and flush fit
If I was going to spend £600 on an electric hob I would definately go all induction.
