Owner Builders in boot-shaped Yorke Peninsula : viewtopic.php?f=38&t=80264& Re: Kitchen Appliances: Brands and Recommendations 23Jan 19, 2018 1:58 pm We are starting our renovation and currently have Gas cooktop and oven in a 1980's kitchen but are changing to a Induction Cooktop. Looking at the Bosch Series eight 900mm and was wondering was there a big cost on electrical to supply power to the induction cooktop? Re: Kitchen Appliances: Brands and Recommendations 24Jan 19, 2018 5:48 pm Something_Wrong Looking at the Bosch Series eight 900mm and was wondering was there a big cost on electrical to supply power to the induction cooktop? Because induction is instant heat, and because it heats the pan, there is less heat loss so generally considered efficient. However, to get the most appropriate answer you should look at the specification claimed by various manufacturers and compare. In comparing gas to electric I find breaking it down to a cost basis the best. Don’t forget to factor in that you may need new pots and pans, as not all work with induction. Are you keeping the gas oven or replacing that with electric too?

I read a review saying it needed 3 phase power or is it just a standard 15 or 20a feed.

Electric pyrolytic oven is is easer to clean than a gas oven too.
