At last!  New hob has arrived. Hurray!  Lovely pan fit.  Feels nice and solid. Proper iron supports. Now I just need a gas fitter. Itching to get going.

Looks ace Rob
What output have you got with this?

A link to the model, would be interesting too.
Plus your future road testing.

Left: Ultra-rapid triple frame burner 4.00 kW
Rear: 1.65 kW
Front: 1.05 kW
Right: 2.55 kW

It's this one Chewy.  Couldn't get low profile as they need 70 mm clearance underneath. Hoping this will just slot in without too much messing about.  The boiler is above the kitchen and the fitter reckons it'll be no problem running a gas pipe down.

Already thinking about a gas tandoor, but no idea where it would go. Haven't got the room.  Could get rid of the sink I suppose. Maybe not  ;D

Looks great Rob and not overpriced like some.

4 kw is a good flame, got me thinking of the next time I need some retail therapy.

It's not just the Tandor, noisy extraction is another problem.

Looking forward to seeing the first curry produced on the new hob and your thoughts on how it compares to the old one.

Just think It will never be that clean again  ;D

Great looking stove top Bob! when is it going to be installed?

Just think It will never be that clean again  ;D

So true...

Nice looking hob. I have a Smeg hob but mine has a double burner e.g. two rings of flame on the same burner. I find it's great for rapid heating of liquids but too hot to use on full blast for cooking single portions of curry. It burns base sauce in under a minute with not enough reduction. I am interested to hear your experience.

Don't you not think you should be sending out the invites Rob?? Far too much there for one.  That definitely looks like spinach, the kind found in a tin  and pureed at that    But i bet it tastes good though   

Very tasty CH. Still got some in the freezer.  Desi saag.  Spinach, broccoli, sprouts, and dried methi.  Loads of garlic, ginger, and chilli. There's a recipe for it in the Ashoka Simply Jiggy book.  I shall give it a go.

Grateful for any advice on a splosh-back.  Was wondering if it would be possible to get a sheet metal work place to make a custom jobby.  Possibly cheaper than shop-bought?
