I use a plug-in 13A unit. It's great for most kinds of cooking - the only time I prefer the performance of my actual stove (a coils-under-glass electric unit) is when I'm boiling water or want a gradual warm-up to low temp. For everything else (searing, stir-fry, deep-fry, steaming), the plug-in induction hob provides better control IMO
The fan and high-pitched pan noise is not my favorite though.
Mine has all touch controls but I love it. I think it might be my favourite appliance in the new kitchen.
A big slab of black glass with nothing to trap dirt on.
We had to replace a few old aluminium pans with nice Samuel Groves carbon steel ones but I think it was well worth it.
I haven’t had many boil overs or any switch offs.
It has more than enough power when needed. 230v 40amp dedicated supply and RCD I think but it could be 50amp, can't remember.
I would not go back to gas.
I’m not sure I’d want a plug-in 13amp unit though. Seems a bit weedy compared to a real hob.
