The Best Hobs

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

Gas hobs are favored by our experts for their versatility and precise control of the flame. However, electric hobs can offer superior energy efficiency ovens and hobs are easier to clean. You can accelerate the cooking process by utilizing features like a power boost and a timer.

1. Hobs Induction

Induction hobs offer a modern efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking area as gas hobs do they employ magnetic technology to warm the copper coils that are below the pans. The cooktop is cool to touch, making it more secure to use and easier for cleaning. They also cook faster than traditional kettles and consume less energy. The AEG premium model is a favorite in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It features four cooking zones each with its own functions and the minute minder. It has a smooth, smooth surface that wipes clean with ease and is easy to operate by using the touch-sensitive control panels, however one minor issue (which is common for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be patchy; however it is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year warranty and impressive eco credentials; it has an A+ rating for energy efficiency, with the lowest power consumption of 700w for each cooking zone. The 'Flux Zone' feature allows you to move your pans between the four zones and adjust the power levels according to the size of your saucepans or pots. Meanwhile, the 'Power boost" function boosts the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds up the boiling process. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor' feature, which ensures that your pan is not overheated are other useful features.

This is a low-cost induction hob that is easily wired and fitted to a new or existing worktop. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly marked with the use of a cross or ring to indicate where the centre of the coil is beneath and there's an easy-to-use touch-control panel. It has a wide "Flux zone" that can accommodate larger pans and pots effortlessly and is pre-programmed to have power levels that are set in the front and middle zones as well as the rear. This is an excellent option for cooking using a variety of pans, all different dimensions and shapes that require to be heated up, simmered at the same time, and then kept warm.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or gas cooktop, for those who are American) is still the best ovens in cooking in the kitchen. They're the ideal choice for boiling water boiling soups and sauces, simmering them cooking eggs, pan-frying eggs, and frying meats. Their popularity is due to their ability to produce high heat levels quickly and precisely, making them perfect for boiling and searing.

The flame indicator's visual display allows you to see each burner's status at an instant. This is very useful for security. It's much more difficult to forget about leaving a burner on, or switch it off by accident, than it is with an electric oven hob.

Most models are also designed with a flat surface which makes them less difficult to clean than ceramic counterparts. However, it appears that there's no material that could fend off splashes and spillages completely, so you'll have to be vigilant about cleaning tasks to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 from getting blemished over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction counterparts as they heat up faster and more evenly, which reduces energy costs. This is especially true with vented hobs, which combine two appliances into one and eliminate the need for an Hood. This will save space in your kitchen, as well as resulting in an elegant and modern design that will blend into any style of interior.

Due to their efficiency and ease of use, many homeowners opt for gas hobs that stand on their own rather than built-in versions. These are easier to set up and provide more flexibility in the event that you want to create a minimalist kitchen designs.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle that contains liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to offer a renewable energy source. This is an excellent option if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint. You'll have to find an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you can consider this alternative. Additionally, these models will require a gas supply and ventilation, and regular maintenance to ensure there are no leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

If you're seeking an energy-efficient and sleek option, an induction hob is the best way to go. Induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly while the ceramic surface of the hob keeps it cool. Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental burning!) Induction hobs are safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient as they use less energy than their gas or electrical counterparts. Induction hobs are expensive and you'll need to purchase kitchen appliances that are compatible with induction.

If you don't wish to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs can be a good alternative. These stylish and sleek hobs are made of a smooth glass top and hidden heating elements. They are more aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean than solid plate hobs because they don't need lengthy scouring. They are more efficient in heating and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. However, they fall behind induction hobs when is energy efficiency, so if you're conscious of your energy usage this might not be the best option for you.

Solid plate hobs, which are a low-cost option with their basic and reliable design, are ideal for everyday cooking. They are quick to warm up, which makes them an ideal choice for those who do not require a large cooktop. However, they do take a long time to cool down. Solid plate hobs also release lots of heat, which means they're not as efficient in energy use as other choices on this list.

We recommend looking for reviews on the websites of retailers when you're considering a solid-plate hob. This will not only provide an accurate view of the quality of the product and will help you find the one that is suitable for your home. For example this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys is highly rated by customers and is made of long-lasting stainless steel. The black controls are a perfect match with other kitchen appliances, giving it a sleek and modern appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are a popular option for cooks due to their rapid heat and easy control, electric models are more energy-efficient. Also, with modern electric ceramic and induction stoves that come with advanced cooking functions, including power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're an excellent option for busy households.

Look for an electric hob that has sleek design and touchscreen controls. Avoid hobs with dials or buttons that are protruding. This makes them easier to clean, particularly when you choose flat surfaces that don't scratch or chip. Choose a model that has child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to prevent accidents. And, if you have an intelligent home, opt for a digital display that gives you control of your hob remotely and also notifications via your smartphone, so you can control your hob effortlessly.

To maximize flexibility, think about a dual fuel hob with gas burners and induction. The FH-IC7020 by FUJIOH comes with both. It comes with intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones and durable cast iron pan supports to allow traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function, which allows you to set cooking times for dishes so they're ready for use when needed - reducing the risk of cooking too long and making food less delicious.

For added convenience, you might want an appliance that allows you to join two cooking zones into a single zone for pans of varying sizes and shapes. This can help save space and is useful when cooking with large rectangular vessels such as roasting pans. In addition, some hobs come with the option to add induction plates or teppanyaki grills for extra cooking options.

Gas hobs can be found in a range of prices, from as low as PS100 to high-end models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic stove or induction model from a major brand shouldn't cost more than PS200. And if you want an elegant glass model, it shouldn't cost much too, since there are excellent own-brand options. But, keep in mind that both ceramic and induction hobs need a specific supply with the appropriate cables and breakers to work so you'll need it installed by a certified electrician.
