    I can never find enough space on my 4 ring ceramic hob, it's just not designed to manage two pots and a griddle pan!!!

    So I'm considering a separate induction hob (single) and a dedicated griddle pan for stakes... Yum.

    I considered a George Foreman type of grill but I'm a bloke and i like to cook, and that means turning over a juicy stake 😜 not watching a machine coot it for me.

    So I considered Jamie Oliver tefal induction grill pan but the reviews on Amazon are really crap.

    Can anyone recommend a good quality induction grill pan ?

    Thanks
    Ray

    Get a cast iron griddle pan in TK Maxx forget the lightweight non stick stuff.

    +1 on the cast iron pan.
    And you're right to stay away from George Foreman type things - they get nowhere near hot enough to properly sear meat.

    Sorry, no experience of induction single hobs but I Lidl often have them (no idea of quality but relatively inexpensive).

    Doh !!!!
    I did not realise that any pot which has a strong attraction to a magnet was induction ready.

    It yurns out that 6 out of 8 pots/pans in my house are induction ready anyway... happy days.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Ps, those are seriously massive stakes... yum.:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

    I purchased the Aldi induction hob but took it back same day.... it sounds like a hovercraft in the kitchen, not even my extractor on full speed sounds as loud!!!


    Do they all do that?
    Any makes of single induction hob that don't have a gigantic big fan in the base?
