I bought the Kenwood via mail order from Lewis's. The Silvercrest came from Lidl.

This video from Silvercrest demonstrates from vey well how they work. Sorry it's all in German, but the video is self explanatory.

That's no problem at all. Thanks very much for that I will keep an eye
out in Lidl because we go fairly often)

Which one do you prefer?

While they are both very good, I like the Silvercrest and the finer tuning of the temps. Great if you want to cook things very slow and low. On the other hand I have a wok for induction cookers and being able to whack the heat up high in an instant for stir fry etc is brilliant on both of them.

By the way, when making cream sauces, chefs always say to use double/heavy cream as single/light won't thicken up. I discovered when all I had was single cream I whacked the heat up high, poured the cream in and it thickened up easily.

Thanks, I think I will hang on and keep an eye out in Lidl

Interesting. I suspect it is because it reduces so fast.

Enjoyed watching that video. Since the hobs are portable, you could take
it outside to cook smelly foods like tripe or fish, so it would not
stink up your house.

That's why I want one, to fry food outside and not have
that lingering odor.

Funnily enough, I did read an article recently where its' becoming the thing to use an induction hob outside alongside the BBQ.

We had a neighbor who was a doctor, and he had to cook bacon in the
garage, using an electric skillet, because his wife could not stand the
smell of bacon. This would be perfect.

If he was a Dr, he must have had a decent income - so why didn't he
upgrade the exhaust fan/hood? People be cwazy.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

Smoked bacon frying has to be the most heavenly aroma. I can't imagine anyone not liking it. I've heard many a person say they could be vegetarian if wasn't for bacon.
