Induction Hob replacement

Options
Hi guys,

I'm looking to replace my current electric hob which is 58cm (image attached) with a 60cm one. Do you think it will fit without having to cut the worktop?

    Find the cutout size for the new hob and compare to the existing cutout.  You can measure from underneath without removing the hob. What's under your hob? If it's an oven, it's usually not hard to take it out.

    Even if the cutout is too small for the new hob, cutting worktop isn't too difficult if you have the tools. A router with a long bit would be my choice. At a push, a jigsaw would do it - Either way, it will make plenty of mess.
