Vango Sizzle Single Induction Hob, Black, Medium

Product Information

However, at best, motorhomes usually only boast the inclusion of one electric hotplate in the kitchen. Although useful, they suffer from ‘latency’; that is, they take a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down again, none of which is good if something is boiling over. The technology in an induction hob Win: This induction hob is compatible with induction-ready cookware, encompassing a wide variety of materials. Firstly the size – it measures only 16 x 22 x 20 cm but holds 1 litre of water which is about 1.75 pints – more than enough for four standard mugs of tea! That small size means it can also easily be stored away in a campervan cupboard or camping box.

The Primus Litech Camping Kettle is our current ‘go-to’ anodized aluminium stove-top favourite. Primus should need no introduction, and their kettle is the definition of a clean design.Induction hobs are kitchen essentials for many people, and are generally easy to use. But issues can arise from time to time that you wouldn't experience with gas or electric hobs. Some common problems can include:

There are two versions of the Safari Chef 2 – low pressure and high pressure. The low pressure version requires a regulator and hose which are sold separately and can be used with both standard screw-top cannisters or plugged directly into your caravan gas outlet. The Cadac Safari Camping Stove HP (High pressure) can screw directly into cannisters without a regulator, but costs a bit more to buy. Incredible Speed and Efficiency: Portable induction hobs utilize electromagnetic technology, which allows them to heat up your cookware directly and rapidly. This means faster cooking times and energy savings, as induction hobs waste less heat compared to gas or electric stovetops. Induction cookers are also much more efficient than gas hobs and traditional electric hobs in terms of heat wastage and energy use.Induction hobs are not particularly new and have been available for household use for a number of years. They are also increasingly being fitted in new-build houses, as they offer greater efficiency and convenience; and anyhow, as an aside, gas is rapidly becoming a polluting pariah. As with a lot of other portable induction fans, this is a bit noisy. The fan whirrs whenever it’s on (and can carry on afterwards too for a while as it cools) plus the beep that’s triggered when you turn it on or change a setting is startlingly loud, making us think this wouldn’t be ideal for families where anyone has sensory issues. The cable is fairly short too, but we didn’t mind this as it meant it was neat and tidy, making it simple to store away. In terms of cookware compatibility, this hob works with all induction-compatible cookware, though users will not be able to use non-induction cookware. The hob's user-friendly features include a digital LED display, 10 heat settings, and a 3-hour programmable timer, although these digital controls might require some getting used to for those new to them. You can cook more precisely with an induction cooker, too. They’re easily adjustable and respond instantly meaning you don’t have to wait for them to cool down or heat up to your required temperature.

Win: The hob offers easy-to-use touch controls, 10 power levels, and a 3-hour timer, which offers considerable flexibility and convenience. Win: The VonShef Digital Twin Induction Hob is powerful with a total power output of 2800W, making it suitable for demanding cooking tasks. The 400 CV is designed to take the Campingaz ‘easy clic’ valve cannisters like the CV470, so you don’t need a hose and regulator – this simplifies the operation a bit. but costs a bit more than the standard 400 which does need a regulator.

How does an induction hob work and why do I need new pans?
