Hi usentians,


Not sure if you have read the thread posted by Precious regarding the pros and cons of Induction hob.

Well, I think if your kitchen is as small as you have described, yes, I will highly recommend you getting an Induction Hob.

I think it is not only functionable, save and it cook up good food from feedback of friends who are using them now.

I personally, think they look really cool, neat and nice.

Go for it.

after using mine for some light cooking, really thumb-up for e fast boiling & easy control. even overspill it is not a worry as there is no naked flame.
just wipe clean after cooking. simple!!

frankly me love it :)

but if u r more to wok-cooking then it is not suitable since the surface is so flat :P

Thank you very much for the valuable info.

Now my only concern is whether the existing hob measurement can fix the induction hob. Need to check with the ID. :confused:

Cheers

Hi Eve

Yes it is. It works by transferring the current through a coil that transfers heat directly to a pan. Unlike gas or traditional electric power, induction cooking works only when the pan is placed within a magnetic zone, so that energy is directed where it is needed. More than 90% of the energy goes straight to the pan unlike gas and electric. It is $$ saver compare to electric hob.

;) Quite cool looking when place in the kitchen.
