It's across all my cookware. Pans, cast iron, the coffee maker, the kettle.

If I put it on full power, then it's a continuous blast of energy and it never clicks off. That's great for boiling water but not much else.

If I put it on 70%, it goes on full power for 7 seconds, then stops for 3, then back on for 7 etc etc.



Are you sure you don’t have a normal electric stove?


Yes, it won't work without a pan on it. Doesn't work with aluminium. Is relatively cold to the touch despite having just been used to boil a kettle. Says 'Induction Hob' on it.


An induction cooktop with bang-bang control? I guess that is definitely something to look out for and avoid: https://www.avforums.com/threads/are-there-different-types-o...


It's a smeg if anyone reads this and cares. Probably quite cheap; the previous owner put it in to help sell the house
