Consumption costs ceramic hob ./ . Induction

buy new pots

You can test the bottom of the pot with a magnet (you might find one on your fridge ;-)): if the magnet sticks, the pot is suitable for induction. In our case, most pans at the time were not suitable, but the pots were. I would no longer buy Ceran new but always induction (or gas), even if that means having to replace one or another pot.

I would not choose induction because of electricity savings, but because of the convenience and especially because of the children. Without a pot, nothing gets hot and there is less residual heat after cooking.

I had gas for cooking and baking my entire life and was very satisfied with it. When it came to the new kitchen for the house, I definitely wanted gas again. For this, new pipes were to be installed from the basement (gas heating) to the ground floor. In the furniture store, the salesperson then asked me why I definitely wanted gas. Because of the speed and controllability. He then showed us the induction cooktops and heated water there. That settled the decision. A few new pots had to be bought, but no new gas pipe through half the house.

After 3 years, I am still very satisfied and do not miss the gas. What is also noticeable is that there is significantly less greasy dirt in the kitchen that needs to be cleaned.

The 365+ series from Ikea has the magnetic bottoms, everyone should have these pots + pans anyway because they simply have an awesome price/performance ratio. Then we also received a set as a gift from the kitchen studio :)

But that can’t have anything to do with the cooktop ;)

We also have induction and I don’t want to miss it anymore – enough reasons have been given here.

What I do recommend to everyone: The cooktop should be as large as possible – don’t take 60 cm cooktops. We have an 80 cm cooktop – that is already very comfortable.

What I do recommend to everyone, though: Get the cooktop as big as possible - don't take 60 cm cooktops. We have an 80 cm cooktop - that's already very comfortable.

No, not with the cooktop, but with the gas. You don't really notice when you always cook with gas. But the lack of this slight greasy film was noticeable after all.
We also have an 80 cm cooktop with combined cooking zones and are satisfied.
