Aldi have a single ring induction cooker hob available from later this week and I wondered whether it would be a useful additional cooker particularly when in France when some cooking could be done outside using the external power point. At £29.99 it seems to be a bargain having five preset cooking programmes, a three hour timer, touch sensitive buttons and automatic detection of pan suitability. The write up doesn't give any power consumption figures so I would have to check this in store before purchase. Does anyone have any thoughts and comments? We've never cooked using an induction hob.

Didn't find our pans expensive Judge ones. I even have a cheap one. Our enamel saucepans work and they were cheap and cheerful 😉. Just take a magnet shopping!

When we re-fitted our kitchen the full replacement pans cost 3 times the cost of the induction hob. The old copper bottoms are packed away incase we ever move and have gas again.

But, would thoroughly recommend cooking with induction.

We now use our copper bottom Prestige pans in the caravan after we bought an induction hob at home ..... they were a wedding present 34 yrs ago! surprised

New pans will tell you on a label somewhere if they're suitable or not.

It's  getting  tooooo  complex  this  cooking  biz  !!

I'm  still  in  favour  of  hanging  a  pot  from  a  tripod  over  an  open  fire  innocent
