We have just redone our 1960's kitchen - oh the joy Joy JOY of a new kitchen!!!!

We looked at induction and decided against it from my understanding it uses magnets/magnetic thingos to work. My son has heart disease and so do some of his little friends we have met along the way. One of then has a pacemaker and my son may need one too so magnets are definately out for us - they interfere with pacemakers working and that is not a good thing (obviously).

We went with a smooth top ceramic with sensor controls. Love it - only trouble is if I am cold and trying to turn on hot plates it takes longs as it works on the heat transfer from your fingers to turn on LOL!

Good luck with the search...
