Hi
@John STC
You don't say whether it's a free-standing cooker you're after or a separate oven/hob?
If it's the latter, then I know that both my son's went for induction hobs when they had new kitchens, partly as they considered them safer with young children. Although you can get some residual heat where a pan has been heating up, it quickly dissipates when removed as there is no direct heat. The controls are usually also tough sensitive segments on the glass top, so less likely to be miss-operated.
A quick Google shows you can get free-standing cookers with induction hob, so worth considering if it's this sort you need? They look as though they are a bit dearer but may prove more suitable for your needs?
When we were researching about new appliances, we found several of the online suppliers had technical advise helplines, who were usually very knowledgeable and may be able to advise, given your specific needs/concerns?
Good luck
Phil
