Actually, I would have the hob to get a lot more because the space savings compared to a Stainless steel cooker with two plates and two overhead knobs is enormous. Where you used to have problems a large pot and still place a midsize Tigel, this is no longer a problem. Just great and Added to this is the ease of use of the cooktop with timer and control lock to prevent unintentional Switching. I can only recommend the hob.
