VangoSizzle Double Induction Hob

Good size, taking both a saucepan and frying pan. Reasonable weight when restricted by amount needed to be in our motorhome. Heated up a pan of water very quickly. Only thing to watch is the need for pans usuable on an induction hob. These are not cheap.

Perfect double hob on our yacht as it fits in the space previously taken up with a gas cooker. The 800w maximum power per hob isn't a problem as you will just burn anything with more power as we found out with the previous single induction hob. The bacon pan in the photo is a big pan with a full packet of bacon in it, cooks perfectly.For use at sea gimbals are recommended but the surface is patterned so not completely slippery. The alternative is a small silicone round mat from Amazon. Doesn't effect the power and really makes it non slip.Delighted we switched from Calor gas to induction cooking. Use good quality pans with lids saves electrical power if cooking off grid and keeps the water vapour down, useful on a yacht or caravan.At £98 I am happy to strongly recommend to a friend.

The gas stove will always look the best but I am done with setting it up to the greasy clean up. This induction just comes out the bag and turn it on. The easiest to clean. No fuss at all. Not noisy. I was impressed at how well it worked. Only needed it on a 3 really as it would be too much. Fried and heated water for tea. The kettle did take about 5 min to heat enough water for 2 cups but that didn't bother us at all. Did think it was small but there is 2 of us on our VW Camper trips. Did the job. Pans under 25cm i think are best. They did slide about a bit so you have to be careful with the stove being small. Love it!

Great little cooker, easy to use. We always have electric hookup, the beauty of this is that you can cook inside the tent or pod and not have to worry about fumes. It cooks consistently. I also use it when staying in small apartments which only provide minimal cooking equipment such as a microwave. A great purchase

Having purchased a different induction hob and found that it was excellent but far too large and heavy, we decided to go for the Vango : its small dimensions and modest weight make it perfect for packing in the car for a camping trip, while still being quite big enough for pans up to 21cm diameter. We have a 24cm frying pan which we hope to use, although it will project a little over the side and back, and we haven't tried it yet. [Edit: the 24cm pan worked but was too wide, with a tendency to touch the control buttons. Not the fault of the hob.] The maximum wattage of 800 per 'ring' means that it is unlikely to trip a camp site's power feed, with the added advantage of being less likely to damage pans through inexperience and over-enthusiasm; using Vango's induction pans (purchased separately) it brings a pint of water to the boil in about five minutes. There are five power steps: 100W, 200W, 450W, 600W, and 800W, plus a useful 'keep warm' setting to maintain 70°C ± 10°. I particularly liked the way you can turn on full or minimum power immediately by pressing + or – .

We purchased the hob as a trial for camping instead of lugging a big gas bottle with us. It worked brilliantly and quickly brought water to the boil or heated up beans or soup.Will only be taking this camping next year so no need for bulky stove and gas bottle.

Good build, only used a few times but easy to use, clean and not too bulky either.

Great item as easy to use and clean.Feels safer being used inside the tent, rather than the old style hot-plate cooker or even the Cadac.Better control and easy to clean !
