Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On October 5 independent UK-based consumer watchdog Which? released the results of tests the company carried out on induction and 2-in 1 ovens.
The company tested a large number of induction and 2-in-1 ovens from brands including AEG-Electrolux, Samsung, Hotpoint, Indesit, Siemens and Whirlpool.
The Belling BI60i was judged to be the best induction oven. In a statement on the Which? website expert Matt Stevens said "we haven't seen induction being used inside ovens before, so this is a really exciting innovation from Belling."
As opposed to other methods of cooking in which the whole cooking surface heats up, induction ovens heat only the pan by creating a magnetic field between the pan and an element underneath it. This is a more energy-efficient means of cooking, however when using an induction oven iron-based pots and pans are required. The Belling BI60i retails for around €460.
Samsung's BQ1S6T077 was judged by Which? to be the best '2-in-1' oven. The appliance is essentially a single oven with a divider meaning that two separate cooking areas can be created making it a double oven. The Samsung BQ1S6T077 retails for around €634.
Other innovative household appliances will be awarded at the International CES trade show held in Las Vegas January 6-9. Nominees for "the best household appliance" so far include LG, Panasonic and Whirlpool.
