For the second time in three months the glass has shattered on my superb Hotpoint induction hob after dropping a metal item ( pepper mill/ kitchen knife) from an overhanging ledge Cost of replacement is £200. It's a DIY job. Why did my previous bog standard glass-topped Horpoint hobs never seem succeptible to such occasional ham-fistedness?
I've had to adopt the safety procedure of covering the induction hob with a piece of vynil when not in use.
Between times, when I have been forced to revert to a bog-standard hob during repairs, it has proved that the induction hob is miles ahead in power and speed and cleanliness.
Thought you'd like to know!!
