Oh I really appreciate the tips! I was wondering about getting a hob
like you. Maybe that's what I should do though counter space is not
great in my kitchen. I saw a high end induction cooktop at Expo last
year but we were looking at washing machines at the time so I forget
what brand it was. I do recall that it was way pricey. Does your hob
make noise? Like Paul, I read that some of them are very noisy.
