With the cost of electricity skyrocketing these days, it seemed like a good time to make the switch to induction hobs from standard electric hotplates and, after using them for a week, we are certainly impressed with these Tefal induction hobs from AO. We find the manual settings most useful for our needs and it has been very easy to get used to the correct settings for different cooking tasks. Unlike the old hotplates, there's no waiting for them to heat up, it's instant heat and very controllable. These new induction hobs have definitely reduced the amount of time and electricity it takes us to cook. We are certainly pleased we made the switch to induction hobs.
