Electrolux EHI955BE

Powerful, responsive and beautiful cooktop – Having always used gas cooking I was very sceptical about transitioning to an induction cooktop. Now that we have made the change, I would never go back! This 90cm Electrolux induction cooktop has changed the way we cook, and makes prepping meals a breeze. It’s easy to use, with the touch pad controls sitting at the front in the centre of the unit. There are five separate heat pads, or you can turn the two on the left into one large section for a skillet or big wok. Heat is instant, and similarly turning the heat off immediately stops the frying/boiling. The cooktop also has a timer to set it to finish cooking, perfect for absorption method when cooking rice. It also features a child safe lock so that little fingers can’t turn it on accidentally. But the best feature of all is the non stick surface. Because the heat is in the cookware not on the surface, when I have a spill or my pot boils over, I can just remove the saucepan and wipe it clean immediately! The only consideration we have had to keep front of mind with induction is that you can’t slide saucepans or frypans along from one burner to the next as you may scratch the surface, and obviously being glass you do need to be mindful of how gently you throw down your pots and pans when getting ready to cook.
