Halogen hobs - are they gone?
Discussion
Not sure which forum to post this in really, but here goes.
Are halogen hobs now a thing of the past? We replaced our cooker a few years which had 2 halogen hobs, we searched for ages and ages and eventually went with a Hotpoint as it still had a single halogen hob. However this cooker is a complete disaster.
Looking about now it seems there are no halogen equipped hobs at all - what's happened to them, or can you still get them?

I expect induction has knocked them into history.
But only if you get all new pans too. Seems to be plenty of non induction electric hobs, but they are just the regular "solarglow" or some other branded ones, but not halogen. Shame, halogen just worked as far as I can tell.300bhp/ton said:

If your current ones are aluminium, yes. But I got three s/s saucepans and a casserole/frying pan (all with glass lids) for £25 in Homebase, so it's not a major stumbling block. I'm not generally a fan of change either but go and see an induction demo; you won't look back..jpg)
k off.They are still plenty of ceramic (non induction) hobs around. Very handy if you have an old style pace maker.
Cost wise a decent one won't be much cheaper than induction, plus if your going down the non gas route, induction is a lot more controllable and quicker than an old tech ceramic one.
