I recently moved to a house with an electric hob and oven. Having always had gas hobs and ovens in the past I am really struggling to cook on electric. Any hints or tips please

Turn left at the Singing Ringing Tree

Visit your nearest gas showroom for a replacement oven.

I had the same dilemma and in the end I changed the oven, as I just kept having dinner disasters.

I find our electric fan oven good with meat but had varying success with things like Yorkshire pudding

and a gas hob a good mixture if you have power cuts

Gas hob and electric oven and grill.

My cooking style uses the hob a lot more than the oven.

The main oven and grill had not been used for over 2 years, as I prefer to use the combi oven on conventional mode for its oven and grill instead.

.

Is the hob halogen or induction please?

As for the oven, heat something that is cheap to test it, like pizza or chips.

190 deg C is about Gas Mark 5/6 I believe.

You did the typical turn it up job didn't you lol, I am used to gas and recently moved to a flat that is electric, it takes a lot longer to heat up and a lot longer to cool down than a gas ring, be prepared for a few accidents until you get used to it

"Its induction"

.

With the right saucepans it should be a lot faster to heat up (as in contents inside the saucepan) and cool down (as in the surface of the hob) than a halogen hob.

My advice would be to boil water in each of your saucepans/frying pan and gauge the time it takes to boil.

Practice makes perfect, and don't walk away and leave anything unattended for long until you are mastered using the hob.

I refuse to pay over the odds for something that can be done relatively cheaply and easily.

Gas is more immediate, so the electric just takes longer and is less responsive, once you get used to that idea, you should be fine!

I have had both, prefer gas but currently have electric lol
