This Hob is beautiful. It changes the look of my kitchen completely. AEG have done it again, another excellent product that is visually beautiful as well as extremely functional. The heat comes through very quickly and goes off just as quickly. Extremely useful if you have pets. The size is perfect. I would recommend this size to everyone. I had a smaller hob before and it was never quite enough room, but with this hob that is not an issue. You can easily fit 5 pans and you never feel like you are running out of space which is ideal. I especially like the long hob, which means you can cook on a griddle pan and not have a problem cooking everything. I've cooked multiple things and everything has worked perfectly. Turning down the heat is good, which is a nice change from usual electric which never really cools down quickly enough. Boiling water is also very good, it is very quick and stays at the rapid boil which is essential for different dishes. The best part about this Hob is that it cools down as soon as you turn it off. As soon as the pan is off the hob it is cool. I cannot explain how excellent this is if you have animals that could potentially jump up onto the cooker, such as a cat. Usual jobs stay very hot and can potentially be very dangerous. I would recommend this hob if you would like to avoid that. Overall, an excellent product from AEG, and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants a good size hob that has excellent temperature control. Cooking is a dream with this product and you won't regret buying it.
