  • so far enjoying our induction hob but one thing that feels really unnatural is the whole keep the pan on the hob or it turns off deal. so used to picking pans up to stir and flip things around etc. I know I still can but it feels wrong now somehow.

  • Do they fully turn off or does the heat just drop? Turning off and having to turn back on seems mad. Presume if that's the case it varies by brand/model?

  • No they stay on but just stop heating the pan from a certain distance.

  • Mine at least stays on. The display flashes F to show there's no pan but as soon as you put the pan back down it's back at the same setting as when you took it off.

    ours is a safety feature called pan detection which only heats when it detects a pan (quite luckily it turns out after my gf left the hob on for 3 hours after making her breakfast), it sounds like aggi has the same one (AEG, I assume because it's quite similar to his username).

    I'm sure it makes zero difference to the overall heat applied to a dish but my brain considers it a bad thing which makes me not want to trigger it so i try to keep the pan set down which feels unusual.
