induction hobs

[Steve Firth]

Sure, I'll have to charge P&P though.

We'd never buy anything other than induction now that we've experienced it. The controllability of gas, rapid heating when required, no dangerously hot rings, no burning of pan by replacing them onto a hot ring, lower energy bills. In short induction is brilliant - but then we are not cordon bleu cooks!

[Owain]

Olive oil's no good for chips, apparently - too strong a flavour and doesn't get hot enough.

Mmmmm, I wonder if the kebab shop is still open....

To do what? Do you fry stuff in it?

[Huge]

Watch many cookery shows? Seen a lot of induction hobs?

Please take it with you when you move, if I'm buying your house, because it'll be going on Freecycle. :o)

[Huge]

It's perfectly possible to cook properly on an open fire, but I wouldn't want to share my living space with one of those, either.

[teddysnips]

Yes, and yes. I've also seen them in professional kitchens, which is rather more pertinent. Your point? I judge things by personal experience, which is why I wouldn't buy a car purely on Jeremy Clarkson's say-so. My personal experience, as a 50+ male who has been cooking for 30 years, is that induction hobs are wonderful - cheaper, better and safer than gas, cheaper, quicker and safer than traditional electric hobs. I can only conclude that you form your opinions in some other, inferior way to personal experience.

[Huge]

Yeah. Right.

I've read that many times. The first time I had chips in Greece was my conversion to olive oil. They were the absolute best chips I had ever had. (Before that, olive oil had been pretty much a ghastly rancid yellow bottle. I couldn't understand why anyone rated it.)

In fact, I don't think I have ever head such good ones since. :-(

[Andy Hall]

Sometimes, but for many other purposes.

[Andy Hall]

I don't eat chips.

[Andy Hall]

Ah well....

[Steve Firth]

Complete and utter s**te. On both counts.

[ARWadworth]

Chips should be made in deep fried beef dripping.

There is no way poncing around with olive oil makes proper chips.

[Andy Hall]

That may well be true. Since I don't want to load myself up with heavy carbohydrate and animal fat, I don't really care.

[ARWadworth]

I will try that one on my clients. When they find out I do not have a TV they ask "what do you watch?". When they find out I do not have a chip pan they ask "what do you eat?"

I have no problems with eating heavy carbohydrate and animal fat (fish and chips) occassionally.

[Steve Firth]

Jings, what are your clients, chavs?

[Pete C ukdiy]

cheers, Pete.
