Smeg SI2M7643B Built In Induction Hob - Black

We bought this induction hob as a replacement for our old Smeg electric ceramic hob which had lasted well so decided to buy a Smeg product again. We are not disappointed it is an excellent quality hob. The slider controls are a great feature and the power boost function works so quickly that it boils up a pan of cold water quicker than a kettle. Overall we are very impressed with this induction hob and the multi zone is another great feature which allows the use of bigger frying pans and casserole dishes.

Switched from gas to induction, which is a totally different cooking experience. The heat is exactly where it's needed - in the pan - and not blasting out from the hob. This hob gives superb control of each zone with settings from 1 - 14 plus P (Power). 1 and 2 provide just enough power to keep food warm, and P, depending on the pan, will boil water faster than a kettle. Each zone has it's own slider which is super easy to use. Cooking as become, dare I say it, almost a pleasure. You may need to buy a new set of pans etc that work with induction hobs, but overall it's well worth it.

I really wanted a gas hob but it was not possible for us to get one due to our gas pipe going into the boiler being too small so it was just much easier to get an induction hob, I had tried induction hobs at friends and family and I was never impressed until now! I have had this hob for about 3 months now and it is so fantastic so quick to heat up and to cool down even more precise than gas!! there are cheaper options out there but I really wanted something better than what I tried in the past and this is fantastic I cannot fault it, it's so great to be able to combine the hobs for bigger sauce pans and I can have as many of the hobs I want on max the performance is still great which I believe can be an issue with some induction hobs
