I haven't seen a coil hob for years, I think my grandma had one.

The cheapest option apparently called a solid plate hob in Britain. Those coils are inside a ceramic (I think) plate. The cheapest ones cost about £80. They're difficult to damage, so you find them in the cheapest rented apartments (students etc): https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

"Ceramic" hobs refers to the one with heating elements below glass/ceramic. Starts from £110, but it's a bit easier to damage. Many rented homes would have this, since it looks fancy and clean.: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

Induction hobs start at £180: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/cooking/h...

Most ordinary (cheap or expensive) cookware sold in Europe is compatible with an induction hob, but not necessarily everything.
