Electric hobs pay for themselves when you’re cleaning.
When you want them to heat up though, that’s when they’re utter dogshit. And then, fuck me, if you want to reduce the heat. Well you might as well just call it a day my good friend.
So actually performing the act of cookery – that’s what they’re shit at.
I was about to be all like ‘This is almost as bad as that doors thread’ but then remembered that thread resulted in the drunk-guy-buying-doors story which was just solid gold.
My hob’s so crap. The dials have long since gone leaving only their little metal levers behind, so I have turn it on/off with a pair of pliers. Also tends to have two settings, boiling hot or off, no middle ground
