Haven't a clue whats reliable and what's not.

eg. Smeg, Zanussi, Hotpoint, Bosch?

Any ideas ? Plus any good sites to buy from ?

have you tried the which magazine for right ups should give you some info what to watch out for good and bad
kip

Why would you need Which Magazine, when I have access to SFOK ?

( SFOK = Scoobynet Fountain Of Knowledge )

Why have ceramic when you could have induction? We have just got one of these AEG Electric Hob 68001KFN and AEG Appliances at Trade Appliances (http://www.trade-appliances.co.uk/_6839_AEG_68001KFN.html) and it's great! It has the speed of gas, but is very efficient and safer too.

Only downer on it is that I've had to buy a new set of pans cos they need to be magnetic :D

are halogen hobs any good ?

what are you getting for the extra money ?

cheers brendan - but I wish the guy had explained WHY he didn't want to look at halogen or ceramic hobs.

If you're looking at ceramic, you want induction.
