A good compromise answer to the question gas or induction may be a
'gas on glass' hob. They have the controllability of gas, are easier
to clean than a standard gas hob (but not quite as easy as induction)
and, most important from SWMBO's viewpoint, they look good.

They are not cheap, but a good gas on glass is not as expensive as a
good induction.


"Gas glass hobs don’t heat up as quickly as electric ceramic models."

And slow heat up was my main gripe about ceramic. (Plus all the hot
surface issues.)

What an apparently strange comment for 'Which' to make. As the
burners are located on top of the glass, there is nothing between the
flame and the pan, whereas an electric ceramic hob has ceramic glass
between the element and the pan base. Unless they are indicating that
all gas hob burners are slower than electric ceramic which, from
experience of halogen under ceramic and gas, I would suggest is not
the case.
