Well gas are far cheaper to run, if you do a lot of cooking it can make a fair difference.

Maybe but it's only 40% efficient for gas vs 85% efficient for induction cooking

0.07p/kWh of gas / 0.6 = 17.5p of gas to get one unit of heat energy

0.2703p/kWh or electricity / 0.85 = 31.8p of electricity for one unit of heat energy

So the difference is pennies for one unit of heat, though I guess it adds up.  After all 
17.5 / 31.8 = 55% which means gas is about 55% cheaper than electricity on a standard tariff 

For me though, it'll actually be cheaper than gas due to solar and batteries with a high depth of discharge. I'll get some for my mum and dad too if there's no grants available

In that case, induction cooking would be the cheapest form of cooking 

Not sure you can get an Induction cooker?

I mean I have one. My mum could get an induction cooker if she wanted, but she chooses not to 

She blames the fact that she's got big pots that apparently wouldn't work on an induction and I'm there thinking "But they work even better given zones can merge" but I think she's just used to gas so is making that excuse lol

It is the make up of the pans that decides whether they work on induction, not the size. They need to have a magnetic layer. She may be right.

Agreed. Induction heating relies on contact between the hob and the pan. It doesn't apply to oven cooking.

Sounds like you have an induction hob ( that you heat pans on) , not an induction hob and oven  ( which do not exist as far as I know)

Aye exactly, it's twice the price to run.  If you've got solar with battery then it's a no-brainer.

We tend to use the air fryer if it's daytime and the gas hob at night.

Yup. I meant induction hob and electric oven, not induction oven

Understood but that's why you get new pots too / those converter plates
