Good evening,
I would like to ask for your combined knowledge and calculation skills.
Recently, there was a discussion within my family about the energy consumption costs of ceramic cooktops versus induction. One family member claimed that the savings from using induction instead of ceramic cooktops amount to several hundred euros. Savings, maybe – I appreciate my ceramic cooktop because it continues to radiate heat even after the power is turned off, which induction does not – but is it really that much?
What do you think? Assuming new AAA-rated devices are purchased in both cases and cooking is done daily, who saves how much on electricity costs?
Thank you and best regards, Bauexperte

buy new pots You can test the bottom of a pot with a magnet (you might find one on your refrigerator ;-)): if the magnet sticks, the pot is suitable for induction cooking. When we checked, most frying pans were not compatible, but the pots were. I wouldn’t buy a ceramic glass cooktop anymore; I would always choose induction (or gas), even if that means replacing some pots.
Umbau-Susi3 Jun 2016 07:08I had always used gas for cooking and baking throughout my life and was very satisfied with it.
When it came to the new kitchen for the house, I definitely wanted gas again. For this, new gas pipes were to be installed from the basement (gas heating) to the ground floor.
At the furniture store, the salesperson asked me why I insisted on gas. Because of the speed and control. Then he showed us the induction cooktops and heated water on them.
That settled the decision. Although we had to buy a few new pots, there was no need to run a new gas line through half the house.
After three years, I am still very happy and do not miss gas. Another noticeable point is that there is significantly less greasy dirt in the kitchen that needs to be cleaned.

We also have induction and I wouldn’t want to be without it – plenty of reasons have already been mentioned here.
What I do recommend to everyone: get the cooktop as large as possible – don’t go for 60cm (24 inches) models. We have an 80cm (31.5 inches) cooktop and it’s very comfortable to use.

We have an 80cm (31.5 inches) cooktop, which is already very comfortable.No, not related to the cooktop, but to the gas. You don’t really notice it if you always cook with gas. However, the lack of this slight lubricating film was noticeable.
We also have an 80cm (31.5 inches) cooktop with combined cooking zones and are satisfied.
