Induction can take a whole lot more current than a standard hob.


They seem to vary from 13A plug-in, to 16A hard-wired to 32A hard-wired,
I've heard lots of people raving about how good induction hobs are, has
anyone got any stories about the lower powered ones being ... um ...
underpowered?


I haven't tried one, but when I was looking at induction hobs recently,
some were smart enough that they used reduced power if all the "rings"
were energised at the same time, but operated at full power if only a
couple were.
