Induction hob; anyone got one…...

[bobmac]

Never owned one, but used one on a cookery course at Northcote. Theirs were top of the range (of course), but very impressive indeed. The whole surface is induction plate, you just whack your pan down and it detects it, and throws up a little dial so you can control the heat in that spot. Then you can move it around and it tracks it. Add another pan, and it detects that. Then stick the roasting tray on it to make gravy and it detects that as well. Amazing.
The tutor did a demo, frying stuff off on hottest setting, with a piece of paper between the pan and the hob. The paper wasn't even slightly charred.
Boiled a large pan of water from ice cold in no time at all.
My next hob will be induction if I can afford it.

Apparently you can't use them if you have a pacemaker

I'm not sure if it's a blanket can't or if you need to check with your doctor first, but it definitely needs investigation.
