Don't feel to bad. Result from my point of view. Less work less mess.
Good to catch up mate.

An update to this Sorry Saga.

It gets worse before it gets better.

Anyway after a rubbish few weeks of illness and then a family bereavement I made it over to @Mattuk to pick up my new Induction Hob. Matt has been ace and educated me on such hobs to help me make my decision.

Get it home and made contact with @eLuSiVeMiTe whom I’d set up to fit it all for me.

My luck is in, Robin is free and over to my house within the hour. I’ve been primed in advance to make preparations as he has to get away pronto.

Ever the consummate professional, Robin makes preparations, gets the tools out, masking tape on worktop, crap all out of the way etc etc etc. I empty units and get vac out.

Then I open hob from packaging, Robin checks size of exixting hole and measures up new hob sizes.

He then goes go check again, possibly a third time but I can’t be sure.

Then “Mate” it’s gonna drop straight in, so it does. New hob is same size as old cut out: me = what a plonker!

Units empty, vac ready and tools out of van, job done with out making any mess at all.

RESULT !

So thanks @Mattuk for supplying the hob and thanks @eLuSiVeMiTe for “fitting” the hob

Jobs a good un

Note to self “must check sizes first” also have to buy all new pans so they work on induction. Now that I’ve had a play, highly recommended

Hi Parm,
great to meet you in person today.
Glad it went in without too much of a struggle.
To test your existing pans find a fridge magnet or other magnet close to hand and hold it to the base of your pan. If it sticks, the pan is ferrous and shall work on the hob. If it does not, then that pan can find a new home with someone else.

However,
When you are next in the area, please pop into the shop and I shall give you a set of pans to go with the hob. I have already ordered a set for you, just waiting for them to come in.

Cheers
Matt

Or be 're-purposed' in the man cave as something else, perhaps post plasma......?
