This is my first experience using and owning an induction hob. The main reason I held back was because I didn't think my very expensive cookware would work with induction, and it doesn't. But my frying pans and wok work fine, and I'm blown away at how quickly this induction system heats up the oil in the pan, literally just a few seconds! I will replace my other saucepans one day but am planning to by a pressure cooker to try with it after reading some brilliant reviews. Cooking is a lot easier and faster, plus the hob cools down very quickly (compared to my halogen electric cooker). I bought the Daewoo because it is a brand name I know at a good price. If you want to try out induction cooking then this is a good hob to start with. I do find the frying setting is too hot for my uses but it is simple to just press the minus button until it is at a level I like. It takes a little practice to get used to but I'm so glad I finally took the plunge into induction cooking! Cleaning has been easy, it's a flat smooth top with no corners or areas to trap food. Buttons are touch buttons, so no moving parts to go wrong or get jammed up with food over time. I don't know how it would handle spilt liquid, that hasn't happened to me yet. It has a warning if the pan isn't compatible or if you move the pan too far away. Heating up and down is instant, though your pot may hold on to heat, so bear that in mind. It has a great low setting which I want to try out for slow cooking (maybe replace my slow cooker?).
