Ikea Smaklig induction hob. We wanted to replace a broken ceramic hob, a chip on edge of glass slowly spread across whole hob. We decided to investigate induction hobs and chose an Ikea Smaklig induction hob. We have had it for around 6 months and I have become a bore wanting to tell anyone how wonderful it is. Induction is quicker to heat up (compares well with electric kettle) and stops heating instantly when you switch off. Very much easier to clean than ceramic since hob doesn't heat up just gets warm from the saucepan. Induction hobs are expensive yet the Smaklig hob is relatively cheap causing some concern, but it has 5 year warranty and is made in Germany. The Smaklig hob has separate controls for each of the 4 heating areas unlike many more expensive hobs. Two disadvantages, you need induction compatible pans and you can become a bit of a bore - I am told this wears off after 12 months.
