I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator.

Having recently spent a little time investigating new cookers, I am curious to know your opinion on the ignition buttons on gas hobs. Your answer is unlikely to affect my cooker-purchasing actions, but having discovered in the pub last night what an unexpectedly polarising question this is, I'm now curious...

We went ceramic for a) ease of cleaning and b) ability to site on the opposite side of the kitchen to the gas supply without enormous headaches. I'm fine with halogen rather than induction because when you cook on cast iron pans it really doens't make much difference how responsive the *hob* is because the pan itself takes ages to warm up and cool down - and I've got used to it. But I do like then when I have them available. I've never much cared how they're lit provided it's not "lots of cursing, where's the matches gone?". I've used induction hobs a couple of times in holiday cottages and found them fine to cook on once you get round the idiosyncrasies of getting them to actually turn on.

Electric fan oven all the way though!
