My new home has a ceramic hob, which is approaching a dangerous time - marmalade. It may be easy to clean, but must not be allowed to have sugar solutions cooked onto it. Also the individual hobs are too big for my saucepans. It stays hot for ages, so I put on an old fashioned kettle for cooking water next time, kept in a thermos. I'm getting it swapped for my old cooker, spiral rings, but smaller, and one a twin one, just right for my milk pan in the centre. It also has a slow cook function in the top oven, so I can cook ahead for a week, casserole, milk pudding and so on.
Eventually, I intend to buy a dual fuel cooker, with gas hobs and fan oven. I've wanted gas since we left the home where we had one - I always used one in domestic science at school.
