Sarah, I think you'll receive good advice by posting your question on
the uk.food+drink.misc newsgroup. They'll have much more experience
with induction hobs than people in the US.

BTW - to another poster's question, the term "hob" has been around as
long as I can remember. I can remember my grandmother putting things
"on the hob"; i.e., stove.
