Daewoo 2000W Electric Single Induction Hob with Built-In Timer and Adjustable Temperature Settings, Automatic Switch Off and Overheat Protection, 220-240v 50hz Type G UK Plug, Glossy Crystal Glass

Excellent Hob. It's very powerful and reaches heat very fast, perhaps 30 seconds when used with my egg poacher and cooking time was 4 minutes. I use a Prestige Egg Poacher Pan. It also cools down fast after use. The onboard fan isn't to loud either. It wipes clean with a damp cloth The instructions could be better though. Quick run through to start using it. When powered you see an L. Signifying it's on Low power. Bottom right corner is the power icon. Press that and it all lights up. To the left of that is the Function key You have 10 seconds to hit the function key or it switches off Press the Function key to run through the cooking pre sets. Left to right.. Fry. Warm. Deep Fry. Boil. Steam and Soup. On the Left under the Warm.. Pre set is the Timer key. Tap this to set your desired cooking time. The time display alternates between the time and the Power level.. It's not broken. The timer can be set for 3 hours maximum. This is a game changer for me. I use a Ninja oven every day but it doesn't do poached scrambled or fried egg. It's large enough to be very useful and small enough to put away easily when not in use.

Great hotplate, a light machine, with fast heating ability. Easy to clean and easy to use for long or short term cooking. Make sure to lower to heat so you don't burn your pan!

Best cooker I had in years. My pancakes are evenly done instead of just in a middle meaning the heat is spread evenly across the whole circle. The only issue is that you have functions like "fry" or "boil" and you can't regulate the temperature freely. It's either stuck on certain power or you can only jump up or down by bug blocks of power (1300>1000>800>500) I wish ai could just go up and down by 100.

This is my first experience using and owning an induction hob. The main reason I held back was because I didn't think my very expensive cookware would work with induction, and it doesn't. But my frying pans and wok work fine, and I'm blown away at how quickly this induction system heats up the oil in the pan, literally just a few seconds! I will replace my other saucepans one day but am planning to by a pressure cooker to try with it after reading some brilliant reviews. Cooking is a lot easier and faster, plus the hob cools down very quickly (compared to my halogen electric cooker). I bought the Daewoo because it is a brand name I know at a good price. If you want to try out induction cooking then this is a good hob to start with. I do find the frying setting is too hot for my uses but it is simple to just press the minus button until it is at a level I like. It takes a little practice to get used to but I'm so glad I finally took the plunge into induction cooking! Cleaning has been easy, it's a flat smooth top with no corners or areas to trap food. Buttons are touch buttons, so no moving parts to go wrong or get jammed up with food over time. I don't know how it would handle spilt liquid, that hasn't happened to me yet. It has a warning if the pan isn't compatible or if you move the pan too far away. Heating up and down is instant, though your pot may hold on to heat, so bear that in mind. It has a great low setting which I want to try out for slow cooking (maybe replace my slow cooker?).

I have a 5-ring induction hob and wanted a low power 3-pin plug back-up hob in case of a power cut that can be powered by house batteries (or even a BEV that has V2L). The induction hob works perfectly fine considering it is rated at only 2kW. The power setting adjustments are in quite high steps, the beeps are very loud and the fan is a little noisy but other than that it’s a good single hob. Reading some of the negative views made me carefully think about purchasing this hob. However, it became obvious that one must be very wary of some of these negative 1-star reviews since there is a clear misunderstanding on how an induction hob works. (1) The hob doesn’t heat itself up (a magnetic field causes the pan to heat directly and the eventual hot pan conducts heat back to the hob surface), so no pan = no heat. (2) Placing a non-magnetic pan on it such as a common aluminium pan without a magnetic insert within the base will not work. If a magnet doesn’t adhere to the base of the pan, the pan is not suitable for an induction hob. If one can see error code E0 then it is a user error and not a hob error. A displayed error code E0 is that there is no pan or unsuitable pan on the hob, as clearly stated in the manual. I don’t work for the manufacturer, just exasperated that any ignorance of induction technology could lead to a misinformed purchase decision.

Arrived, box not sealed and had been previously opened. Item not packed with inner bags, no instructions. Product didn’t work, displaying ‘L’ Daewoo’s site was no help at all with no instructions on product page, and no response to emails. Found instructions online, which had no troubleshooting info regarding the the ‘L’ which I can only now assume means ‘Loser’ for buying this

Absolutely brilliant! I can not live without this product. Going to buy a second one just incase they ever stopped selling them. Sleek design & easy to clean. I have been using it everyday for 4 months not had any problems. You need to make sure you use a pan with the induction magnets at the base otherwise the pan will slip off of the hob. Supermarkets sell the pans and it says on them suitable for induction hobs. Heats up straight away, cooks rapidly but evenly and my food tastes better because of that. Highly recommend it.

It is a brilliant piece of kit. I'd heard induction hobs were as good if no better than gas but this one certainly is, I wish I'd bought it sooner rather than continuing to struggle with a ceramic hub.
