Not wanting to perpetuate what might be an OT thread, but what are 'induction hobbs' please? Ray Personal emails: Email me at mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: chris morris Hi all, I'm new to this list so hope its the right place for my question. I need to purchase a new cooker, I'm used to gas, but have just discovered induction hobs. I thought they offered a lot of advantages for me, but all appear to have touch screen controls. Does anyone know if there are more accessible types of these cookers available, or shall I stick with gas? With thanks. Chris.
