new induction job

3 years ago

I am changing from cast iron gas hob to an induction hob shortly and am very nervous of scratching the new surface. Someone mentioned that I should change all my pans, even if they are suitable for induction, as they will have rough bases from being used on the gas hob. What are other people’s experience please?

I have a five year old induction hob. I didn’t change my pans although I always scrubbed off any gas scorching on the bottom to maintain their looks. Five years on (and I haven’t been particularly careful) the hob has very minor scratches that can only be seen in certain lights.
So I say try not to worry too much- it will be fit for purpose.

I wish I had an answer to this one. I originally had an AEG induction hob. Had it for 9 years, loved it, didn’t have any scratches whatsoever on it and then it went bang.

Replaced it with a Bosch which is currently around 4 years old and has several annoying scratches on the glass which I’ve been unable to get rid of.

I just wish I knew where they come from.

I would just ensure the magnetic bottoms are clean and use them.

It doesn't look like the entrance door will open fully. Also, the console table juts out too far and the accessories seem out of place. I'd return it. Maybeputting the mirror on the wall with a shelf under it would work. Consider changing out the wood blind for a Roman shade or top down/bottom up shade. Personally, I wouldn't worry about covering up the rad. Add a pretty rug too.

@Norwood Architects took the words right out of my mouth. I too would not do the open shelves on the base cabinets with the clipped corner. Looks like you are going for a more modern kitchen and those don't fit the updated style I see here. As far as the double ovens, I would move them to the left one spot so they sit next to the first set of cabinets. I would also remove the last upper cabinet (on the right) and extend the open shelving. The shelves look dwarfed as they are now by the large wall of cabinets. Hopefully, removing a bank of upper cabinet and extending the shelves will help balance the proportions. I would also eliminate the shelves on the island too, but that's just more of a personal preference ;) Looks like it's going to be a gorgeous kitchen!

I agree with 'Kitchens and Baths', you are leaving yourself precious little counterspace to accommodate 2 side-by-side wall ovens? Can't you stack them if you need 2? Also, a warning, I wouldn't be taking anything out of those ovens and "turning to the island" with them...not with a quartz countertop!! You'll have that whole end all scorched...unless you are quick and accurate with lots of trivets! But your "open shelving" is going to look like a pinched-in forgotten corner pantry...you really need more space for them too , if it is going to look right. Right now as it is, 2 feet of them are all but beyond reach (over the lower countertop) and then a mere 2 feet worth of actually OPEN, available space you can reach, then the monster of the floor to ceiling cabinet will be in the way. It will be like reaching around into a closet. I would seriously reconsider this design BEFORE your electrician shows up--and before you order all those (expensive!) cabinets. But as for the island 'crowding' the walkway--it looks as if your drawing says 1.2 meters? That's plenty and more than enough, even for running boisterous kiddos, you're fine there. Best of Luck.
