I've got two of these ... One from Lakeland and this one from Maplins (They are actually identical units). They are not a backup hob for me, but will be my main form of Cooking in the camper (via a 1000W PSW Inverter). Work very well and boil enough water for two mugs of tea/coffee in about 3 minutes.nabsim;n32512 said:Not a hobnob those are securely locked away behind the Jaffa cakes.
Saw this in an email circular from Maplin abd wondered if they are of interest to anyone as a backup

Not sure why but I guess it has to do with magnetism & the way they induce heat.

Minisorella;n33514 said:Mine arrived yesterday... nice neat little thing and perfect for using my small steamer. It wouldn't work for a big saucepan but I don't need anything bigger. It heats up a lot faster than the solid plates on my hob, so should be a bit more economical, although obviously it'll take the same amount of energy to boil water. The main reason I got this is because my poor 30 year old hob is really rusting now under the edges of a couple of the plates and this will help as a stopgap until I get round to doing the kitchen up.
By the way, Lidl have a more powerful version for sale this week... up to 22cm pan.
