This brings back bad memories of my own gas incident. *inwardly shuddering* sad.gif

Converted my parents kitchen to all-electric with quality appliances...I now have more peace of mind.

Many people who aren't electric hob users says it is inferior.
So what was the usage experience of your parents ? Don't like it or no problem adapting ?

no problem with the change. they don't do stir frying...just soups, braising, steaming and boiling. they also feel safer. i also had a licensed wireman test the circuit breakers and earthing after installation, preferring to spend a bit more even if erring on the side of safety.

Induction hob is so efficient that I barely noticed any hike in power bill after the switch. No more calling and waiting for gas delivery, no more moving the heavy tank around and also save lots of space under stove can put other things.

Ditching gas got so much pros.

Yes u r correct...induction hobs are indeed more efficient. But my parents like to make stews, soups etc using Corningware (which doesn't work with induction), and prefer "traditional" heating elements. Am not the least bit concerned with the electricity bill, just the safety and comfort of my old folks.
