The Best Hobs

Hobs are available in a variety of sizes and materials. The best Hob hobs are durable elegant, stylish and easy to clean.

Our experts favour gas hobs because of their precise flame control and flexibility. Electric models are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean. Look for features such as a timer and power boost that allow you to increase the heat quickly in order to speed up cooking.

1. Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a modern efficient and effective alternative to traditional ceramic or gas models. Instead of heating the entire cooking zone like gas hobs, they use magnetic technology to warm up the copper coils below the pans. This means that the cooktop remains cool to the point of contact which makes them safer to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than a kettle and require less energy. They are now a staple appliance in the HelloFresh's test kitchen and we are in love with this elegant, premium model from AEG which boasts four cooking zones that have individually controlled functions and an easy-to-use minute minder. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch control panels are simple to use. However the distribution of heat is patchy. This is a common complaint with all induction hobs.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year guarantee and impressive green certifications. It has an A+ rating for energy efficiency with the lowest power consumption of 750w per cooking zone. The 'Flux Zone' feature allows the pans to be moved between the four zones and adjust the power levels according to your pots or saucepans. Additionally, the "Power boost" function increases the output of the hob by 50% to speed up boiling. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor' feature, which prevents overheating of your pan are also helpful features.

This is an induction cooktop with a reasonable price that can be wired to a worktop or new one. The zones of cooking that are independently controlled are clearly identified by an arrow or cross to show where the centre of the coil lies beneath and there's a simple touch-control panel. It comes with large "Flux Zone" that can be used to accommodate larger pans or pots. It also comes pre-programmed with preset power levels for the front and middle zones. This is great if you often cook with a variety of sizes or shaped pans, which need to be brought to the boiling point, simmered and then kept warm at the same time.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or gas cooktop in the case of American) remains the most popular choice when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. They are the best for boiling water as well as simmering soups and sauces cooking eggs and meats, frying them as well as pan-frying. Their popularity is due the fact that they can quickly and accurately generate high heat levels which makes them ideal for searing and boiling.

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to check the status of each burner at a glance, which is beneficial for safety reasons. With an electric hob, it's less likely to switch off an appliance or forget it was turned on.

A majority of models are designed with a flat surface, which makes them easier to clean than their ceramic counterparts. That said, it seems that there's no material that could stop spills and splashes completely, which is why you'll need to be on top of cleaning tasks to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 from becoming blemished over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction cousins because they heat up more quickly oven and hob more evenly, thus reducing the cost of electricity. This is especially true with vented hobs that combine two appliances and remove the need for the Hood. This can help save the space in your kitchen as well as creating a sleeker design that will be able to blend in with any style of interior.

Many homeowners prefer gas hobs with freestanding design over built-in models due to their efficiency and convenience. They're easier to install and provide more flexibility when you want to create a minimalist design for your kitchen.

Another benefit of opting for a freestanding model is the ability to connect it to a bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which can be an alternative energy source for you're looking for a greener alternative. But, you'll need be able to find an appropriate LPG boiler and stove before this becomes an option for you. These models require gas supply, ventilation, and regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

If you're looking for an energy-efficient and sleek option an induction cooker is the best ovens and hobs uk way to go. Hobs that induction heat pans and pots using electromagnetic fields, and the glass-ceramic surfaces remain cool. Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental burning!) and more efficient as they consume less electricity than gas or electric counterparts. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll need to purchase induction-compatible cookware.

Ceramic hobs are a good option for those who don't need to invest in technology of induction. These stylish and stylish hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic finish with heating elements hidden underneath which makes them more appealing to the eye than solid plate hobs and easier to clean, as there's no need to do difficult cleaning. They heat up faster and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. They don't offer the same energy efficiency as induction hobs, so they are not the best choice if are worried about your energy consumption.

Solid plate hobs, which are a low-cost option with their basic and reliable design, are perfect for cooking at home. They're quick to warm up, which makes them an ideal option for those who don't require a large cooktop. However, they can take a long time to cool. Solid plate hobs are not as efficient in energy as other options.

We recommend looking for reviews on websites of retailers when you're considering a solid-plate hob. This will not only give you an honest assessment of the performance of the model and will help you find one that is right for your home. For example, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys has been highly rated by customers and is finished in long-lasting stainless steel. The black controls are a perfect match with other kitchen appliances, creating a sleek and modern appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are a favourite choice for many cooks thanks to their quick heat and easy control, electric hobs have the advantage of being more energy efficient. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves come with sophisticated cooking functions, such as power up settings and temperature control. They're an excellent choice for busy households.

When selecting an electric hob choose one that's streamlined with touch controls and no buttons or dials that stick out. They are more easy to clean with a flat surface that doesn't scratch or chip. Make sure you choose a model that comes with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to stop accidents. If you're a smart home, go for an electronic display that gives you control of your hob remotely and also notifications through your smartphone, so you can manage your hob easily.

For maximum flexibility, think about a dual fuel stove that has induction and gas burners. The FH-IC7020 from FUJIOH has both. It has intuitive touchscreen controls for zones of induction, and durable cast iron pan supports to allow traditional gas cooking. The timer function lets you to set cooking times so that your food is ready when you need it. This helps reduce the risk of cooking too long and makes your food less flavorful.

For additional convenience for added convenience, a kitchen appliance with two separate zones for cooking pans of different shapes oven and hob sizes is the best option.

Gas hobs are available in a range of prices, ranging from as low as PS100 to top-of-the-line models that cost up to PS1,000. However, a basic four-zone ceramic or an induction hob from a reputable brand should still cost you less than PS200. If you'd prefer a glass model there are a variety of excellent alternatives from manufacturers of own brand. Be aware that induction and ceramic hobs require a specific supply with the correct cables and breakers to work, so you'll need it installed by an electrician.
