Remove Gas Hob Add Electric Hob

[stewartrose]

Good Afternoon Team,

In this current climate of gas prices going through the roof, I want to change the Gas Hob to Electric.

Gas hob needs capping off

I have an electric oven in an other area of the kitchen, Can I Parallel the Hob and Over together
The Oven, is, one main oven, and a top oven used for grilling.. ???

Or do I need to put in a new feed, if so what Power rating cable, it will be 8mtrs long,
The hob will be 5 burner 8600 Watts.

Thanks in advance from Alan

Induction imo is better than gas though

My Mrs has insisted on induction. Very easy to keep clean and the mother-in law even likes to come round just to polish it ?. You do need the iron based pans and they do need to be flat on the hop to work. I much prefer gas as you can lift the pan when frying especially when splashing the eggs for a full monti big boys fry up.?

I've got an induction hob. Ok it's ancient but it's absolutely terrible.

I like to have instant heat and i can visually control it with adjusting the size of the flame. Gas all the way for me.

at least with gas you can see what you are burning.

With gas, the heat and adjustments are instantaneous

There's no cycling on/off either , not sure if the induction does that ?


Can't see how any electric can beat gas

Induction for me. Used for 15 years, never had a problem.
