The Best Hobs

Hobs come in a range of sizes and materials. The best hobs are durable and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Gas hobs are the preferred choice of our experts due to their versatility and precise flame control. However, electric hobs can provide superior energy efficiency and are easier to clean. Look for features like a timer or power boost that let you increase the heat quickly in order to increase the speed of cooking.

1. Induction Hobs

Induction ovens hobs are a modern and efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking space as gas hobs do, they use magnetic technology to heat up the copper coils below the pans. The cooktop is cool to touch and is therefore more secure to use and easier for cleaning. They also cook faster than a traditional kettle and consume less energy. The AEG premium model is a favourite in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It comes with four cooking zones, each with its distinct functions, as well as an hour timer. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch-sensitive control panels are easy to use. However the distribution of heat is uneven. This is a common issue with all induction hobs.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year warranty and impressive eco ratings. It is a A+ rating for energy efficiency, with a low power consumption of just 700w for each cooking zone. The "Flux zone" feature lets you to move your pans around in the four zones and adjust the power levels to match your pans or pots and the 'Power Boost function boosts the output by 50% to ensure speedy boiling. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor,' which prevents overheating of your pan, are also useful features.

This is a great affordable induction cooker that can be easily hardwired and attached to a new or existing worktop. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly marked with an arrow or cross to show you which side of the coil is it, and there's also a simple touch-control panel. It has a wide "Flux zone" that can accommodate larger pots and pans effortlessly and is pre-programmed to have power levels that are set in the front and back zones. This is an excellent option if you cook with a variety pans of various shapes and sizes that need to be heated up and simmered at the exact while being kept warm.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or gas cooktop in the case of American) is still the best when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. They are the best choice for boiling water, simmering soups and sauces cooking eggs, pan-frying eggs, and frying meats. Their popularity is due to their ability to quickly and accurately produce high heat levels, making them perfect for searing and boiling.

Their visual flame indication also allows users to check the status of every burner in one glance, which is useful for safety reasons. It's a lot harder to forget about leaving the burner on, or switch it off accidentally as it is with an electric hob.

Most models have a flat, smooth surface that makes them easier to maintain than their ceramic counterparts. However, it's apparent that there's no material that can keep out spills and splashes completely, which is why you'll need to keep on top of cleaning to keep the Neff T27DS59N0 from becoming blemished over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction counterparts since they are able to heat faster and more evenly, reducing energy costs. This is especially true with vented hobs, which combine two appliances and eliminate the need for the Hood. This will save space in your kitchen and give it a sleeker look that will fit in with any style of interior.

As a result of their efficiency and their ease of use, a lot of homeowners opt for freestanding gas hobs rather than built-in versions. They're more straightforward to install and offer more flexibility when you want to create a minimalist look for your kitchen.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle that contains liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to offer a renewable energy source. This is a great option if you are looking to go green. You'll need to locate an LPG stove and boiler you like before you can look into this alternative. These models require gas supply, ventilation, and regular maintenance to ensure that there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

If you're seeking an elegant and energy-efficient choice an induction cooker is the best way to go. These hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly, while the flat glass-ceramic surface of the hob stays cool. This makes induction hobs more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient as they consume less electricity than their gas or electric counterparts. However, the drawback of induction hobs is that they can be expensive to purchase and you'll require a set of induction-compatible cookware.

If you don't want to invest in induction technology, ceramic hobs can be a good alternative. These stylish and stylish hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic surface with heating elements concealed beneath which makes them more attractive than solid plate hobs and easier to clean as there's no need to do tricky cleaning. They heat up faster and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. However, they are behind induction hobs when it is energy efficiency, so if you're conscious of your energy consumption this might not be the best hob choice for you.

Solid plate hobs, a low-cost option with their basic and reliable design, are great for cooking at home. They're quick to get hot and ideal for those who don't need a high-powered cooktop, but they're not quick to cool down, which is why they're not the best oven option for dynamic chefs who like to be multitasking. Solid plate hobs also release a lot of residual heat, which means they're not as energy-efficient like the other choices on this list.

If you're considering a solid plate hob, we suggest selecting one that's been reviewed by customers on the websites of retailers. Not only will this give you an honest insight into how it works, but it will aid you in finding a model that's right for your home. Customers have rated this Neff CSPHOBX15 Solid Plate Electric Hob from Currys high marks and it's made of sturdy stainless steel. The black controls match in 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 instant heat and simple control, electric models have the advantage of being more energy efficient. With modern electric ceramic and induction hobs offering advanced cooking features, such as power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a great choice for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove, look for one that has a sleek design with touch controls, and no dials or buttons hanging out. They are easier to clean if they have a flat surface, which won't scratch or chip. To ensure safety, select one with child locks oven with hob hot indicators, as well as residual heat shut-offs that can stop accidents. If you have a smart-connected home, you might opt for a digital display which lets you control your stove remotely and receive notifications via your smartphone.

For ultimate flexibility, consider a dual fuel hob that includes gas burners and induction. FUJIOH’s FH-IC7020 has both. It has intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones and durable cast iron pan supports to support traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function, which allows you to set cooking times for meals so they are ready when needed and reduces the risk of overcooking and making food less tasty.

For additional convenience For added convenience, a model that has two separate zones for cooking pans of various sizes and shapes may be the best option. This can save on space and is beneficial when cooking using large rectangular cooking vessels like roasting pans. Additionally, some stoves offer the option to add induction plates or teppanyaki grills for extra cooking options.

Gas hobs can be found in various prices, ranging from as low as PS100 to premium models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic hob or induction model from a major brand should not cost more than PS200. If you're looking for glass there are a variety of excellent options from own-brand manufacturers. Be aware that both induction and ceramic hobs require a specific supply that is plugged in oven with hob the correct breakers and cables so you'll need it installed by a qualified electrician.
