A great extra hob for busy families
4/5
I recently tried out a Tefal Everyday IH201840 - Black
Initially we had a bit of bother with it, as we were not aware that you could only use a certain type of pan, Thankfully the hob gives an error code as soon as you try to put any pan on that is not of the right calibre.
Selecting your pot
The manual states that for the hob to work, you need to use a double bottom pots or magnetic induction materials. One easy way to test is to take a fridge magnet to your pots, if it sticks it should work on your hob.
Settings
There are various cooking methods on this hob
Manual Mode - where you can pre-set the temperature
Heat Milk Mode - This is a great way to heat your milk without the worry of it overboiling
Stew Mode - This is great for slow cooking and maintains an even temperature over 2 hours
Stir Fry Mode - This is great in that the machine will beep when it is at a temperature to add your ingredients
Deep Fry Mode - for anything between 1 and 2 litres
Boil Mode - This is a bit of a feature issue for me as you have to have an ideal quantity in otherwise it won’t boil to the full temperature
You then have a timer which you can set for the amount of time you want to cook for
I am in a house where we cook for 3 adults and 6 kids, when making roast dinners, we always struggle for the much needed extra hob, having the Induction hob makes things that much easier, and although it can take time to come to grips with things such as pans, quantities of water and timings, once you are confident with the equipment it is far easier.
It’s so easy to clean as well! Just a wipe once it’s cool and you’re good to go.
