I`ve got myself a small induction hob

[Deleted User]

:j It arrived a couple of days ago and it is proving very fast and extremely economical. I got the portable one made by stellar for £59 and today it is sitting on top of my unlit gas hob. It needs pans with a base which will hold a magnet. I have ordered some pans but in the meantime, to my delight, I have discovered that my ken hom wok is suitable and so is my pressure cooker

Today I browned some sausages and they fried instantly. I am making a sausage casserole bulked up with beans, potatoes and carrots and it is gently simmering in the wok on a very low heat. It must be so much cheaper to use than the gas hob or oven. Probably the same as a slow cooker only this is going to be ready in an hour

It`s got very variable heat settings and a timer

What a neat thing - I just watched the video about it!

I would love one, but with a slow-cooker and a remoska, it would be hard to justify another cooking gadget. My pans are all Stellar too, so would work with the hob... :rolleyes:

ive never understood what an induction hob is and why you cant use lots of pots and things on them.

Whats the remoska like, ive heard good things but I dont really see how its different to a slow cooker:o

This review contains quite a good explanation:

at least - it's simply put and I'm assuming that the information is correct!

thank you seakay, that explains the pans and how it works. I dont see what the disadvantages are actually, why dont we have them more?
