I bought a double solid s/s hob there a few weeks ago for less than a gas refill

Did look at this and consider it for a moment.

Trouble is might need to replace all the old pans on board

Also could it run off the generator, if I got one of those?

Real trouble is that you need mains electricity .... so why is it preferable to any other form of electric cooking?

(Personally would still prefer to use gas for cooking, even if mains available).

I would stow it somewhere close to the Hatstand, Waste paper basket and Royal Naval Officer, sorry ! Still want the oil ?

We cooked on one for 4 months while having a kitchen water leak sorted out. It works very well, I"m not so sure you could manage on a boat though. OK while alongside with shore power, but what about at sea? I'l stick with my 2 burner Calor cooker.

Gary, new Rafiki has a double induction hob built in. Works really well. However, we have a gennie for those occasions when we are away from Shorepower.

I have an induction hob and microwave/grill on board and it is a brilliant combination. Got rid of the combi gas/radiant electric hob leaving me with extra work surface and storage underneath. The induction hob, which is surprisingly lightweight, is put away in a locker after use. My boat is only 27ft so every inch of workspace/storage is a bonus.
