hi there,
we are going to replace our old 90cm gas hob with an induction hob.
size could be 80cm or 90cm, but i think we tend towards the larger 90cm option.

i find it incredibly difficult to choose a hob, so i hope i find some help here.

requirements:
- not too noisy (i heard some induction hobs can be loud and buzzy)
- swift heat control (slider, rotary dial etc), and no endless tapping the + or - buttons
- potentially flexible positioning of pans and pots (not sure how important that is, but i guess it can be helpful with awkward sized pots

what are your recommendations?

thank you

Hi everyone! We are switching to induction, which will be a new experience for us. I'm a huge cook and am excited. I have two questions:

1. My first question is about our cat. She has always been allowed in our kitchen and has always naturally avoided the gas burners... but this is different. Do I need to order a cover for the top? No, I'm not going to use a spray bottle or tinfoil or an electric mat to keep her off. It's her home, too, and it's open concept so there's no door to keep her out.

2. What can I put on top of the cooktop in order to extend the usable counter space when necessary? Silicone mat + chopping board on top of it? Or just an extra large wooden cover that can also function as a chopping board? Open to ideas.

Thank you!

Title says all!

Also, does anyone know what the largest diameter pan that can be used on each of these is? That’s our biggest concern and can’t seem to find actual magnet sizes on any of these
