    I am currently using a ceramic hob and I am thinking of switching to an induction hob in terms of savings. However, I do not know anyone who made such a change and confirmed that the electricity bills fell, for example, by 50 PLN for everyday cooking.

    Maybe someone made such a change?

    Read about the principle of operation of both hobs and you will understand that most induction is much more efficient than a ceramic hob with cooking zones.

    What you save on electricity, spend on pots.

    Yes, but I know it, but I still have no answer. How much is the more economical 10% cooking method? 20%? Or maybe 50%

    Pots from Biedra for PLN 15 will also work normally. As long as they were made of steel sheet and the bottom was even without bulges.

    It's not that simple, there are many factors that influence it: the design of the heaters, the pots, the size of the cooking zones, the efficiency of the systems, etc.

    You can't approach it that way. You can buy the pots once and have them for many years, and if the savings on electricity are noticeable on an ongoing basis, it pleases. Nobody will argue after six months that the pots were expensive, because they will have new pots and smaller bills.

    The average difference in efficiency between ceramic and induction hobs is 25%. In better designs, even 30%.

    On this basis, it can be assumed that the cost of use will be lower than 25-30%?

    Not. Even if the operating costs can be narrowed down only to the costs of electricity. And it will certainly not be PLN 50.

    I do not really understand

    And what can be understood more here?
    1- You are buying an induction hob.
    2- You buy (or not) pots.

    And this does not mean that the electricity bill will drop by PLN 50. (monthly? yearly?)
    We do not know how much you use the kitchen, how much you pay for electricity.

    You do not need to know the usage time to specify the% value

    25% of what the "non-induction" electric cooker used on these cooking zones, which is probably not much.
    Here you have to calculate for yourself how much electricity you use to heat pots of soup.

    In the oven there will be no difference - it will be the same - the heaters.

    In general, induction will be more pleasant to use - if you turn off the field, it stops heating right away - like gas.

    So it can be assumed that by using PLN 100 to prepare dishes on a ceramic kitchen, we will pay the bill about PLN 20-30 less?

    A very optimistic assumption. But as the classic used to say: if you don't tip over - you won't learn.
    I am not considering changing a 20-year-old ceramic hob to induction: the costs of the change will never be returned to me. But with nothing (bare hut, no pots, etc.), I would go into induction.

    Also take into account the convenience, i.e. the speed of cooking. This is one of the factors that speak for change.

    The right pots make a lot of difference. In enameled, for example, it takes 310 seconds to boil water, and the same amount of water in a decent pot 220s. Same power level set and same field. The area is very similar.

    Can you reveal which pots are you using? (The better ones)

    One last thing to consider. Fast = burnt? Not healthy for me anymore.

    Can you burn the water?

    Boil? The spouse's friend has already burned many pots: she put it on and went to clean the window.

    And it will not boil over on the ceramic ?

    I don't remember the brand of pots now, but the price per piece is PLN 50-90 (depending on the capacity). Yes, they are better and more expensive, but they are more than enough.

    Induction has the advantage that when the pot is empty it will exceed a certain temperature. After some time (the time it takes for the glass to heat up), the disc will turn off. And ordinary ceramic will not turn off in this case.

    I don't know about Zepter's pots now, but a portion of soup from the 90's could be warmed up with a candle.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the potential savings from switching from a ceramic hob to an induction hob. Participants highlight that induction hobs are generally more efficient, with an average efficiency difference of 25-30% compared to ceramic hobs. Users note that while induction hobs heat pots faster and reduce surrounding heat, the initial investment in compatible cookware can offset electricity savings. The conversation also touches on various factors affecting energy consumption, including pot material and design. Some users express skepticism about achieving significant savings, estimating reductions in electricity bills to be less than PLN 50 monthly. Overall, the consensus leans towards induction hobs being more economical and convenient in the long run, despite the upfront costs of new pots.
