ᐅ Switching to induction cooking – how has your experience been?

Hello everyone,
Our kitchen for the house is planned, and all appliances have been selected.
So far, I have only cooked on a regular electric ceramic cooktop and will now switch to induction.
We have chosen the Siemens ez977kzy1e as our cooktop. However, I wonder if it’s really that easy to switch after 20 years of using an electric cooktop.
What concerns me most is the often mentioned “buzzing” sound on the cooktop and the lack of residual heat when you turn the cooktop off 😀
How did you experience your switch? Has anyone possibly even gone back to electric? And how long did it take you to get used to it?

When the "boiling water" is poured into a typically still cool pot, it loses temperature and takes a short time to start boiling again; I cannot confirm that it happens "immediately."
I want buttons. At some point, I’ll bother the local electrician to install one for me. Fixed panels are enough for buttons.
The Q.ooker always keeps the water at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). How efficient it is strongly depends on how it is used. My husband and I are caffeine-dependent and mostly need water just for boiling, and for that, the induction cooktop is more than fast enough.

You tap the panel once on this metal jog Is that the magnetic part that can be removed? We deliberately avoided this design because you never know if it might disappear at some point.

I don’t see how you could lose it, but it’s certainly not impossible since it’s not permanently attached to the cooktop. However, the magnet is strong enough to keep the TwistPad securely in place; it won’t just slide around on the glass (or beyond).
But is that really such a decisive factor?
In my opinion, it’s like the question about the noise from induction cooktops. Yes, it happens, but so what? The advantages far outweigh this side effect. Would you rather cook faster and more energy-efficiently or completely silently?
By the way, a replacement part costs €50 (around $55), just in case.

The big advantage is that the stove won’t turn on, which provides perfect child safety.
P.S. The new twist knobs look and feel cheap since they are made entirely of simple plastic. However, they have a gimmick of being illuminated. The responsiveness is not as good anymore. The older twist knobs felt much more high-quality.

My girlfriend’s boys regularly enjoy taking it with them to play with in the kids’ room. The first time it disappeared, she spent half a day looking for it because she didn’t think the kids might have taken it.
Later on, she always put it away herself after cooking, out of the kids’ reach, but still managed to misplace it occasionally. By now, she has a fixed spot for it, just as you mentioned, on the extractor hood 🙂
For me, that wouldn’t be a reason not to choose it. To be honest, I didn’t look at Neff appliances because we’ve already selected all our appliances from the Siemens Studioline series, and I personally prefer when all visible appliances are from the same brand/series.
