      Stove? If so, I agree. I’ve been very favourably impressed with my little induction one plate from Temple & Webster. So useful. Even has a porridge button which I thought very unusual when I got it but does just wonderful rice. The quick boil button is fair frightening how fast it is - at least as fast as a kettle.

        The other thing I’ve noticed with induction is that it doesn’t seem to cause things like porridge or eggs to cook onto the bottom of the pan as much. I’ve got a gas stove here but use an induction hotplate for a lot of my cooking because it just works better. I also just use a stovetop kettle on it for boiling water, I don’t have an electric kettle.

          My induction absolutely needs a soak for porridge because of a skin stuck to the bottom. It’s a very cheap hob rather than an actual stove top.

      Induction does do that. It’s too bad that they tend to have the rather opposite problem where because they go so quickly, a lot of the time, the graduations aren’t fine enough to work with.

      If it wasn’t for the fact that electricity was so expensive (3x the price for power, though an induction stove uses half as much), I’d not mind using an induction hob nearly all the time.
