Our current gas hob is knackered (now two rings down and counting) and given that obsolete replacement parts are prohibitively expensive it needs replacing. SWMBO, bless her little cotton socks, has been told by somebody that induction hobs are the way forward. I know zip about these other than I can see they are expensive - does anybody here recommend them? Also, are they straightforward to fit (we do have a dedicated radial oven cable already) Thanks

Careful, does she really just want a set of new pans? Induction hobs require the base to be magnetic, ali or stainless steel pans aren't unless they have an iron core in the base. If you already have (mains?) gas I can't see a good reason for not just replacing the gas hob. Induction are good but not as good as gas. I'll get an induction hob for the new kitchen but we don't have mains gas.

Induction hob - Y/N?

We use 47kg propane for our hob and they last ~ 1 year.

I've got a wok with a flat centre section in the base ;>)

Sadly it's one of those hard-annodised aluminium ones )-:
