What's an induction hob Induction hobs heat the pan not the hob using an electrical current. Induction hobs can heat a pan faster than a traditional gas or electric hob, and are more energy efficient. They're also easier to clean, as you can wipe the hob shortly after using it. Remember, not all ceramic hobs are induction hobs. An induction hob can only be used with induction compatible pans. You can use induction kettles which are faster to boil than normal kettles with induction hobs. The fine degree of control over the power of the hob is also good for tasks like melting chocolate or making a sauce. Induction cooking is fast, clean and easy to clean up after. The Tefal IH201840 Everyday induction hob gives you the flexibility to cook just about anywhere with a power supply. It features nine power levels for everything from heating water to simmering a stew. The LED control panel also makes getting the right settings easy. It's just right for pans up to 25cm in diameter and also features an integrated timer to keep your meals on track. Please note If you have a heart pacemaker, do seek advice from your doctor before using an induction hob. Please also only use pans suitable for induction hobs. These include enamelled steel, iron, stainless steel depending on the alloy and some aluminium pans with a ferromagnetic base. Glass and copper bases are unsuitable. Please note there should be a minimum height clearance of 65cm between an electric hob and the cooker hood above it....Read More...»»

Rating Very good for the price, but possibly not a permanent solution.

Rating Induction hob cooker.
Review by R G Bargey on December 22, 2017Purchased this to use in Ireland before buying another for use in Portugal. The selectable power rating makes it suitable for my off grid system in theory. A good looking and well built piece of kit. When I have verified it’s compatibility on my quality inverter I will update my post. -
Rating ... out induction - Bit noisy and simmer not as good as my Siemens ceramic
Review by Jane B. on November 8, 2017Purchased this to try out induction - Bit noisy and simmer not as good as my Siemens ceramic. Useful standby - quick to boil water or soup at lunch time - for the price it a resonable product -
Rating Useful addition to supplement a gas hob
Review by Keep it simple on September 11, 2017Excellent item that provides much more control than a conventional electric hob. I purchased it for use in a holiday home to reduce my requirement for bottled gas. It is solidly made with a sensible layout of controls. My only niggle is the use of codes rather than Watts or %s as is used on microwave ovens. Fortunately, most of my existing pans worked but this could be an additional expense. Overall a very good little unit. -

Rating The unit is good value for money
Review by Greyman on March 7, 2017We used this hob when our kitchen was being remodelled and, in conjunction with a microwave and a small halogen oven we could cook most of what we wanted. The unit is good value for money, maybe not as sleek as others, but did the job admirably. -
Rating A joy to use
Review by Owb on January 20, 2017 -
Rating Fast heating, up to 2100w , safe , top cools very fast after cooking and makes cleaning quick and easy
Review by Rix.Lumb on September 23, 2015I have never used an Induction Hob before, and was a bit sceptical.
It has a wide range of power settings (9) and clever, single push functions for simply heating milk quickly without boiling or boiling water then switching off, just like a kettle, stir frying, deep fat cooking etc..
It has up to a 2 hour timer then turns off, keeping the reasonable quiet fan on for a while to cool down the ceramic top. This is quicker if the hot item is removed of course.

Rating Function buttons not working correctly
Review by Les McNeill on February 3, 2014This unit was working really well until I used either the boiling water or heating milk pre set buttons. The manual states that on these two settings (1) water will reach boiling point and the hob will switch off while signalling it has reached boiling point with two beeps.
(2) That it will heat milk up to 80 degrees and switch off without boiling the milk, again indicating this with two audible beeps.
When I used either of these functions the water continued to boil without switching off, and...
