Is having a ceramic electric hob a nightmare?

I love my ceramic hob and another fan of hob brite here too. I wouldnt have gas even if it was an option now. It is just so easy to clean and heats up a treat.

You wont be disappointed.

I had ceramic at my last house and bought another 5 years ago when we moved here. It looks as good as new. Agree with others about hob brite it's brilliant! I finish mine off with a plain water spray and ecloth and it looks great! Also touch control so no nooks or crannys anywhere! I've grown up with electric as didn't have gas in the village, parents have now moved and have a gas hob and I hate it! I hate the fact there's so many bits where grime builds up and makes it faffy to clean, also hate the fact I'm a nervous wreck around my mother leaning over the dam thing with a tea towel over her shoulder!

Ours is a pain! It scratches very easily, and the cleaning soloution always gets down the sides, plus the touch screen on it isn't responsive :mad:
Curse my newly fitted kitchen :rotfl:

I love mine and have shined it up with windolene haha after a soapy wash.

One tip, don't use fairy power spray, or the white rings will rub off.

Don't ask me how I know that :rotfl:

The only thing to watch out for is any boil overs getting on to the controls. This can lock things up at the most annoying moments.

I too love my Induction hob, brilliant to use and easy to clean.

When we moved into our current house the owner told me the hob was an induction one, so in preparation I bought suitable pans (at an outlet store so no so expensive) but when we moved in I soon discovered it was actualy a halogen hob and I didn't need special pans at all- bit annoyed but no loss as the pans are excellent quality and I got an induction hob when we re-did the kitchen after five years, five years later pans and hob still doing fine.

Another big fan, very easy, I use ceramic hob cleaner from supermarket, not sure of brand name but doesn't cost much and bottle lasts forever (ish). I use this most days after a wash with soapy water and it stays lovely and shiny.

Mine is 7 years old now and pretty much looks like new just a couple of small scratches on the ring we use most.
