Help with a chipped glass ceramic hob please

You can buy a clear glass adhesive made by Bison in the Home Centre. for about €6. Clean the superglue away with acetone (nail varnish remover).

You tube has many repair videos

We bought a new one.
Much simpler, less unsightly and far less hassle than trying to perform a "fix" that you will always know is there.

We paid £159 for an Induction hob and it's brilliant. So quick to heat up too.

Thanks Guys- just noticed that the tube of superglue that I used is also made by BISON but they don't recommend it for glass, as its not heat resistant!!
So, I shall have to carefully remove it and start again.( Jeezzz!!). Question is for JIM B- Do you suggest using the clear glass adhesive in place of superglue ?(I notice it's the same manufacturer,-Bison)

I used it on my mobile screen and it dried clear. It should say whether it's heat resistant.
I would check out YouTube as suggested as there's some very good information on there.

run a bead on some wood or plastic mix paint in then apply keep it a smooth
as pos and you should ok if not polish with very fine wetndry may take time but will come
up shiny all the best

We have an induction hob which is very good and safer but you have to be aware that the pots and pans have to be suitable as many aluminium ones won't work.

Moving away from the op's original question what type of pan do you suggest. Currently we have a ringed hob but fancy a ceramic one. We use prestige stainless steel copper bottom pans but not up with the latest tech

There are pans especially designed for Induction hobs and they can be identified by the symbol:

Many thanks. That's something I've learnt but what is the difference between an induction & ceramic hob & which is best?

Induction cooking works by heating the pan directly rather than heating the hob. ... Beneath the hob, induction coils made from copper wire create a magnetic field as electricity is passed through them. If a pan with a magnetised base is placed on the hob, the magnetic field causes it to heat up directly.

They're great for anyone who has cats which like to walk along the worktops or prying fingers of toddlers.

If you spill anything on the hob, you can quickly wipe it away without fear of being burned.

The hob doesn't get hot or glow like a normal ceramic hob and as soon as you lift the pan off the heat it will stop heating up immediately as the magnetic contact has been broken.

We've had ours just over 2yrs now and wouldn't be without it. Our neighbour just had a kitchen refit and after coming in to look at how ours works, immediately went home and ordered a replacement for the old ceramic hob she was going to keep.

It's a video from USA but the explanation is simple:

We're on our second Induction Hob, very clean to use and easy to operate.
