Depends if the new hob is induction or not

If it's an induction hob it needs to be a ferrous pan, i.e. one that has iron in it such as cast iron or stainless steel. You can check by putting a magnet to the pan and see if it "pulls". If not you can buy an induction converter cookware disc whish just sits on the cooker ring with your normal pan on top.
If it's a conventional electric hob, then your pan will be fine.

19cm converter for £14.95 from Tesco Direct, then you can use your normal pans.
