A subway cheese chicken panini.
Mediterranean vegetables with baked haddock.
With the new hob now up and running, we had mashed potatoes and tenderstem broccoli with our Cock au vin.
Back in business! Did you need new pans for the induction hob?
Just one of our batch made, cottage pies, chips (homemade this time!), and peas.
They came as part of a deal with the Neff hob from the first supplier. Got the pans, they couldn’t get the hob so I got a refund and bought one elsewhere for £240 cheaper but kept the pans.

Was it easy to get used to after using gas for so long?
Is it true that if a cat walks across an induction hob whilst switched on, it won't burn it's paws.
Where's the fun in that?
I’ll encourage next doors cat in and let you know.
Seriously though, I don’t think you can switch it on without any pans on there and the heat you can feel when you remove a pan is only the heat that’s been reflected back from the hot pan - there’s no heating element as such, it works on magnets which is why you have to have pans with iron bottoms. It doesn’t half bring a pan of water up to boiling temperature quickly. You can put your hand on the hob 30 seconds after you remove the pan - I’ve tried that already!

The work very much like a transformer - the hob has one half of the transformer in it - the primary, the coils, the other half is the pan base - the secondary, which presents a short circuit, and so it get hot, as would any transformer with a dead short.
Can I use an induction hob if I have a pacemaker?
Our expert answers a question about the risk of interference between a pacemaker and appliances that contain magnets, such as induction hobs.
Spag Bol. First home cooked meal on the new 'ob.
Pasta, a tomato sauce, and one of those U shaped smoked sausages, sliced into it, accompanied by garlic bread. The latter, from Lidl, not the frozen, the fresh variety, and I quite enjoyed it. I usually find it to dry, too hard, but this was absolutely purrfect - slightly crisp on the outside, soft in the middle.
