Tefal Everyday Portable Electric Induction Hob, 2 hours timer, 6 functions, 9 power level, 2100W, Kitchen, Student, Cooking, Caravan, Party, Black, IH201840

Brilliant Every Day Induction Hob which I had to use as my gas hob packed up just before Christmas. Heats very quickly, very easy to use and clean and looks absolutely fantastic. I've used it to boil, fry, poach etc and it works very well. Easy to pack away into a cupboard when not in use. Be very careful not to allow the pan to touch any other part of the hob other than the circle it's meant to sit on, i.e. when one lifts the pan to spoon melted butter over steak, as this will damage the hob as the side of the pan is hot and will burn the hob. This happened to me and being an Amazon Prime customer served me very well, as I was sent a replacement hob in less than 18 hours. Also it's best to heat up slowly as the hob is so powerful that it may damage cheaper induction pans. I love my induction hob. I think it's the best on the market and would definitely recommend it. I also believe it uses less electricity and so is better for the environment and cheaper on bills. Don't hesitate to buy this, it will serve you well.

My electric kettle,hobs and oven and grill are costing me a fortune.We bought this halogen single hob to save on electricity. Our kettle uses the most electricity in our kitchen as my hubby drinks about 20 cups of tea a day.This tefal hob boils 2 litres of water in 2.5mins!! Quicker than a kettle at a fraction of the price. We bought the cheaper version.It looks very nice, easy to use, easy to clean and extremely safe to use around pets and children as the hob itself doesn't get hot.It's the heat from the pots that make it hot..you can put an ice cube next to your boiling pot and it won't melt!!I love it..haven't tried all the settings yet but I will try them all at some point.What I have tried work very well especially the boil water function with our whistle kettle..amazed at the speed.Doesn't take up much room either, so my invest in another one!!

We bought this because we're in the planning stages of a new kitchen after already ripping out the old one, and we're trying to decide whether to get a gas or induction range when we rebuild. After using this for a month, we're still undecided, because we now don't know if the things we don't like about it are consistent with all induction hobs, or if a higher-priced one would give us more flexibility/control in its heating.For the price, this is a great introduction to induction jobs. It heats as quickly as the claims, which is amazing. However, I have to agree with some of the other reviews that the lowest manual heat setting is not low enough. It seems this model works in a very binary fashion... the magnets are either "on" or "off", and temperature/levels are determined by intermittently turning the magnets on and off. For the lower settings, the frequency of the on/off switching is slower. But that means when it's on, it's ON, providing instantaneous full heat for a second, followed by unpowered resting. This results in the contents of your pot boiling hard for a second, then stopping, in intervals. If you're trying to slowly simmer a stew, for example, it doesn't quite work as you'd want. On the other hand, the hob does work very well for high-temperature cooking, and it brings things to the boil as quickly as all the sensational claims. And as far as this particular brand/model is concerned, I think it's well-made at a good price.There are definitely pros and cons to this product. In our in-between-kitchen-demolition-and-renovation state, it is a welcome addition to our make-shift kitchen. But if this example is anything to go by, I'm not sure I want to be limited to induction cooking for the rest of my life.UPDATE: I'm back, five months later, with an amendment to my review. I now know why there is a maximum pan size for this hob: If your pan is too big, it will come into contact with the plastic edging at the top and bottom of the cook surface, and when your pan is very hot, the plastic edging will melt into a gooey mess. As it cools, it will loosely resemble volcanic rock in appearance and texture (that is, it's very hard and rough). I know because I did this. And then I was worried about scratching my other cookware if I continued to use the hob. So I bought some high-heat rated silicone adhesive and smeared it over the damaged bits of the hob. It's not the prettiest fix (see photo), but it's a fix. My cooker works and my pans are safe. But I'm tempted to rate the hob down another star because I don't know why they didn't consider the possibility of the melting that plastic edging. I won't take another star, though, because they do say not to use pans the size I used. Technically, it was my fault, but...

I bought this because I have a rubbish ceramic hob which you can't really control the temperature. I've now used this a few times and it's brilliant. Great control of temperature and it works really well. Heats up the pan very quickly and cooks food evenly. I have found that power level 4 or 5 is more than enough to cook with. Highly recommended.

Being disabled, and not having much money or the ability to stand and cook, I find this a great table top hob to have. The induction pans are a little on the heavy side but this has been a game changer for me. Its cut down on the cooking time and energy used (saves me a fair amount of money). I have 2 of these on my kitchen counter, along with 2 different air ovens and haven't had a proper cooker/oven for around 5+ yrs now. My energy consumption with all of the above mentioned is very low, which is ideal for someone like me on a budget.Easy to use, this has different settings on it from boil to basic steady heat settings so there's plenty ways to cook different foods.I just wish they could make the induction pans a little lighter to handle but that's no reflection on this hob.Easy to clean. Only downside for me is that it is a glass hob, so if you drop something on it, it could crack it (happened to me once so this was a replacement for that one). But if looked after, these do last a long time.Will definitely purchase again as and when I need another one/replacement for the ones I have as I've had other brands but have found this one to be the best and most reliable.

Worked great for a few months then suddenly stopped working, only had it since the end of May 2024 & not been used that much.
