our one has knobs as well as touch controls, zanussi, not cheap compared to others, but it seems to work ok
if the touch pad gets wet it will stop everything to avoid worse happening, ditto cloth or misplaced pan.
it has no inclination to stopping for no reason and the power/temp control is excellent
when we were looking, quite a few reviews noted such problems, this one had and still has good reviews
different to other ways of heating a pan and took a bit of adjusting to but imho tis the best electric hob i have ever used, safer than gas(in several ways) and easier to adjust than fire
tis efficient as well, the old first generation hot wires in a coiled tube things could make a leccy meter spin like a centrifuge, halogens the infra red things were not much better
these seem to get most of the input as heat in the metal
i never thought to compare the old one and the new one for energy use, instinct says far less, that said the "smart meter"is far too clever for me
ps if it will blue a steel pan it has promise for other metal work |

it is very nice to be able to use blued steel pans again
they are a faff, no dishwasher mucky cloths blowlamp gas etc, so what they are ace
very good on an induction hob, even better than on gas or fire, they are ace on those but less adjustable
odd that old tech is perfect for rather new tech, there have been pan abominations between steel and steel
1970's Al with Teflon frying pan 1950's Al and Alzheimer's fruit pans, le cruset powerlifting kit that fails in interesting thermal stress test ways
glass ones? just why? cos you could? try using em they are horrible
hob pans have been a very mixed bunch over my lifetime, if i had known about induction hobs i would have kept the cast iron skillet
laminated base stainless steel are ok and easy, but not good for some things, like pancakes or burgers or chapatis or roasted nuts or ....... |
