We fitted a new electric cooker and hob to replace our old gas cooker when we did our kitchen over "lockdown". Both are "A" grade in terms of economy. The induction hob is a Bosch and the oven is a Neff (couldn't get both the same at the time due to supply issues). The big difference is the speed of cooking. It is sooooo fast! It took some getting used to at first. The induction hob is super responsive so you need to watch it carefully when bringing stuff to the boil etc., as it will soon boil over if on full power.

Early signs are that it is much more economical due to the speed. Food tastes as good, if not better and we have also purchased an electric pressure cooker (also very quick) for ease.

The best of all is the lack of condensation (from burning gas flames). In winter, we always had to dry all the windows on cold mornings. We occasionally need to only dry the bottom edge now.

The cooker and hob were both expensive options but well worth the extra initial expense. You can't really wander off when you are cooking as it is so fast.
