Re: ceramic, halogen or magnetic hob?

Hi Claudia,
I too am thinking of buying an induction Hobb. Have always had gas till now but totally remodelling kitchen and with 4 children want something easier to clean. I do a lot of stir frys in wok type pan and am not sure if an induction hobb lends itself to this type of cooking. If it doesn’t then I won’t bother as its a very vital part of my fairly limited cooking repetoire!

can anyone advise me on this?

I found the advice given here on repairs and isolated cooking zones very useful and I will now find out which makes have this, like Zanussi, for example.Miele would be my preferred choice but it is much more expensive than the others and frankly apart from reliability they all do much the same thing- assuming one is comparing like with like re. functions and power etc.

On a purely practical note, I am having the hob inlaid on black granite and whilst the frameless black induction hobs look very cool and seamless I wonder if the stainless steel framed ones are more practical in terms of dirt build up and cleaning round the edges. This applies to all electric hobs i suppose but I would very much welcome anyones advice on this, from experience.

Regards
Clementine
