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.
*
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.

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

Gas is still the most economical way to cook.

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.

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  drool.gif 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.

Anything that need electric or electronic component are subject to lightning, and heat. That will shorten the life span. Try ask if the warranty include lightning?

Question about Electric / Vitroceramic Hob....
Got many types in the market. How to differentiate which one is better?
Like Lebenstill brand, got 13Amp & 15Amp, then Fotile brand require 20Amp... confusing.
Typical power outlet is only 13Amp... so, how to use those higher current one? rclxub.gif
*
Higher amps mean higher wattage. Mean heat up faster and stronger heat or can concurrent switch one two or more 'burner". A 13Amps hob will not be able to supply concurrent 4kw heat.

Thanks for the reply. So, a typical 13Amp socket will unable to use the hob that require higher amps one then?
That leave me lesser choice  sad.gif 
There's actually a 20Amp socket, but that located at the top, I assume that's for the hood.
*
20amps socket, is it 4.5 mm cables? If not, you risk getting the wire melt.

To change a 13Amp socket to 15Amp, is it as simple as just changing the wall socket?
*
13 to 15 is simple if cables are not loop and 2.5 mm, 20 amps will need minimal 4.5mm cables

Not really want high. Just want to know the option I have. Very seldom cook, and of course I prefer use lower electricity one.
*
Any electrical hob will use large consumption of electricity. Induction so far is still the must efficient for electrical hob.

Gas still the best.

A single burner is only USD21 or RM67 from china manufacturer. see pic. I have a hyundai like the pic for RM99, and a double burner from sugawa costs more than RM200k plus all the cheapo gifts my wife bought.

I don't feel it much different. Accept need to achieve some burning rice taste for certain food.

I believe last time ppl using claypots is because it able to maintain the heat after cook. Keep longer hr from cool weather.

And claypots is the oldest cooking ware for ppl when steel pot not yet invent.

Claypot is not efficienct for cooking. It need more energy and time to penetrate inside. I avoid using claypot.
*
It does taste different, and have different texture too.

High power Gas cooking will always give better "Wok Hei", and actually can cook vegi faster and look greener and won't turn yellowish. If you cook "YauMak", or "SangChoy" before you know it turn yellow very easy.

I know it have different taste. It just me don't feel the taste.

But I can taste the hokkien mee if cook with the charcoal. Compare the gas.

I hate those vegi cook till turn yellowish. Of course to achieve greener, high heat with shorter time.

But I prefer just boil it in short time. I know mostly Chinese ppl don't like too fresh the taste of vegi. Taste like eating grass. tongue.gif
*
Strong fire actually give some green taste and retain the color too. Cooking is in my family for so long smile.gif I have a trained very fussy tongue. The simplest food is the hardest to cook, I normally judge/test the cook with the fried rice they cook, is a simple dish hard to screw up, but is also a simple dish not easy to be master. High power + skill will create good fired rice.
