Yes we have had a Neff 4 hob item for 3 years - I reckon they are excellent - Very fast as
the heat is produced by about 50 Khz eddy currents in the base of the saucepan and the
"rings" vary between about 1 and 2 Kilowatts rating, adjustable in 20 steps. You can't use
glass or aluminium (strangely) saucepans and the recommended ones have a ferrous content
and are about 6 to 8 mm thick bases, and are better than thin based steel saucepans. Le
Creuset saucepans we had also work OK.
The BIG bonus is its so easy to keep very clean as the surface doesn't burn spills or
boilovers as it doesn't get very hot comparatively - we frequently use a piece of kitchen
paper towel between the surface and the pan, especially when we shake by sliding things
like stir fry, as it can get scratched if a bit of grit gets caught between the two. It
does end up a bit scorched if you are frying though - presumably by contact with the hot
pan base.
We'd buy again !

Thanks Nick.
Then it's definately the way for us to go.
