if want electric hobs, get induction ones

Because no such thing as saving when use ceramic or hot plate. Is only induction are more efficient. If you cook frequent will have to pay more on electric bill.

I plan to use Ceramic hob for my dry kitchen. U can use any pots n pans with ceramic hob, like the Fotile.

For induction, only certain pots/pans can.

In terms of electric bills, both are the same.

thanks for replying but there pros and cons too prefer one induction and ceramic

yeah according to salesperson certain expensive stainless steel pot can't be used at all in induction not all stainless steel can work ..

very leceh ler ceramic are best seller at the moment

anyone happy with their electric hob pls shared ur experience ...appreciate ur advice

In terms of watts maybe the same but if induction takes less time to cook your food then that means you will save on electricity. Don't trust those ppl like Vees that insist theirs uses less electricity.

Btw those non magnetic pots you can use induction heat mats to make them work.

Please check the fact right. Both are not the same, induction are much more efficient. It take less time to heat up the pan. It also are more efficient. Ceramic need time to heat up, by the time it heat up, the oil on the pan already heat up on induction.

I've purchased Sugawa cooking hob and started using it a few months ago after the gas ran out. I have both the inductive and ceramic ones, but at this moment I'm using the single ceramic one (the promotion at that time was purchase of the dual hob and u get a single ceramic hob, a slow cooker and a 9 piece cooking set for fee). So far no complains using it and I think it's pretty energy saving. Set at 1200W, can boil a kettle of water within 15 minutes. Comes to about 6.54 cents to boil a kettle of water (1.2kwh*0.218cents/4).

Thank you for your clarification.

Vees and FOTILE's 1 electricity consumption is about the same, no such thing as save electricity. It does save electricity as the hob will automatically turn off when it reach certain temperature than turn back on by itself when temperature drop at cut in point. This is more to safety feature not energy saving which both FOTILE and Vees also have.

Induction is usually more energy saving, if u look at the catalogs, inductions usually require 13-15amp only. While ceramic hob 20amp.

If you are using gas and wanna switch to induction, you will notice that most of your pots/wok cant b used on induction, so you will need to get new one's. This is why most people hate to get induction and demand for it is low, so FOTILE discontinued their induction hob and replace with ceramic. However, induction is more efficient and energy saving.

Even use ceramic, wok can't be use too.

Gas is still the most economical way to cook.

hi michaellks good to hear you are happy with your purchase . Actually i seriously consider buying sugawa too but afraid regret if

not good but now listen to ur comment makes me more confidence with my decision

oh yeah where u buy ur sugawa have so many freebies

hope i can get good deal this coming pwtc fair

Any disadvantages in using gas to cook?

The advertiser say can blow up the house if use gas and not attend wo. And can be poison also.

Come to think about it the only explosion caused by gas I read in the news is empire shopping center gas pipe explosion. Nothing about home gas tank.

Home gas tank explosion I remember got one case at wangsa maju long time ago. The latest case was that Hampshire condo where the kwailoh succumbed to his injuries but that one is piped gas.

Cheapest is gas. The only thing I find disadvantage is that it runs out in the middle of your cooking. It's inevitable.

electric hob is the way forward for modern kitchen . Safety , convenient, friendly and clean environment is consumer seeking now.

not to mention very good looking too my bad i just like beautiful thing haha

Clean environment, that maybe your perception, the electric you use maybe generate from coals, hydro, even gas. The more you use the hob the more natural resources you burn. It end up the same as gas or even worse.

If you cook more you enjoy paying higher bills for electrical hob.
