The best Hob hobs and ovens

Hobs can be found in various sizes and materials. The best hobs are durable and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Gas hobs are preferred by our experts due to their versatility and Ovens and Hobs uk precision control of flames. Electric models are more efficient and easier to clean. You can accelerate the cooking process by utilizing features such as a power boost and a timer.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a modern and efficient alternative to traditional ceramic or gas models. Instead of heating the entire cooking area like gas hobs do, they employ magnet technology to only heat the copper coils beneath the pans. This means the cooktop itself remains cool to the surface and is more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than a kettle and use less energy. They're now a standard kitchen appliance in the HelloFresh test kitchen and we love this sleek, premium model from AEG that comes with four cooking zones with individually controlled functions as well as an efficient minute timer. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch-sensitive control panels are simple to use. However the heat distribution is uneven. This is a frequent complaint with all induction hobs.

The AEG induction cooker comes with a five-year guarantee and impressive environmental credentials. It comes with an A+ energy rating with a low power usage of 750W for each cooking zone. The 'Flux Zone' feature allows you to move your pans between the four zones, and hobs adjust the power levels to suit the size of your saucepans or pots. Meanwhile, the 'Power booster" function boosts the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds up boiling. Other helpful features include an auto-shut off function as well as a 'fryingSensor' feature that stops the pan from overheating, so you never need to worry about burning food.

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

2. Gas Hobs

Gas hobs (or gas cooktops if you're American) remain the best oven option for cooking in your kitchen. They're the ideal choice for boiling water boiling soups and sauces, simmering them as well as pan-frying eggs and frying meats. Their popularity stems from their ability to create high temperatures quickly and precisely, which makes them ideal for boiling and searing.

Their visual flame indication also makes it easy to check the status of each burner at a glance, which is helpful for safety reasons. It's a lot harder to forget to leave the burner on, or switch it off by accident, than it is with an electric hob.

The majority of models have a flat surface, which makes them more manageable than their ceramic counterparts. However, it appears that there's no material that could stop spills and splashes completely, so you'll have to keep on top of cleaning duties to prevent the Neff T27DS59N0 from fading over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction counterparts as they are able to heat faster and more evenly, reducing the cost of electricity. This is especially true with vented stoves, which incorporate the two appliances into one unit and eliminate the requirement for a vent hood. This can free up space in your kitchen, and create a sleeker appearance that will fit in with any style of interior.

Due to their efficiency and convenience, many homeowners opt for gas hobs that are freestanding instead of built-in models. These can be simpler to install and offer more flexibility when you want to create a minimalist design for your kitchen.

Another advantage of choosing an independent model is the ability to connect it to the bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which can be an alternative source of energy if you're looking for a more sustainable alternative. You'll need to locate an LPG stove and boiler you like before you look into this option. These models require gas supply as well as a ventilation system, and regular maintenance to ensure there are no leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

These hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly, while the flat ceramic surface of the hob keeps it cool. Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental burning!) Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient since they consume less energy than their counterparts made of electrical or gas. However, the disadvantage of induction hobs is that they can be expensive to purchase. In addition, you'll have to purchase a set of induction-compatible cookware.

Ceramic hobs are a great option for those who do not wish to invest in induction technology. These sleek and stylish hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic surface with heating elements that are hidden beneath which makes them more aesthetically pleasing than solid plate hobs. They are also easier to clean, as there's no need for complicated scouring. They heat up faster and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs.

Finally, solid plate hobs are the best budget alternative, with a simple and sturdy design that's ideal for cooking in the everyday. They're quick to warm up and are perfect for those who don't require a powerful cooktop, however they're slow to cool down, so they're not the best choice for chefs who are able to do multiple tasks. Solid plate hobs are also not as efficient in energy as other alternatives.

If you're thinking of buying a sturdy plate hob, we suggest looking for one that has been rated by customers on retailer websites. This will not only provide you with a true insight into the performance of the model, but will also assist you in finding 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 with durable stainless steel.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs offer the benefit of being energy efficient. While gas hobs can be the preferred choice of many chefs due to their instant heating and easy control, they are also popular because they can provide instant warmth. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves have sophisticated cooking functions, such as power up settings and temperature control. They're a great option for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove, look for one that's streamlined with touch controls and no dials or buttons sticking out. This makes them easy to clean, especially when you choose flat surfaces that don't chip or scratch. To ensure safety, select one with child locks, hot indicators and residual heat shut-offs that will prevent accidents. If you have a smart connected home, you might want to choose an electronic display that lets you manage your hob from afar and receive notifications on your smartphone.

For ultimate flexibility, consider a dual fuel stove that has gas burners and induction. The FH-IC7020 hybrid stove includes both, with easy touchscreen controls for the induction zones and sturdy cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function, which allows you to set specific cooking times for dishes so they are ready when needed and reduces the risk of cooking too long and making food less tasty.

For additional convenience, a model with two separate cooking zones for pans of various shapes and sizes is the best option. This can save on space and is beneficial when cooking with large rectangular cooking vessels, like roasting pans. Some hobs have the option of adding induction plates or Teppanyaki grills to offer additional cooking options.

Gas hobs can be found in different costs, from as little as PS100 to high-end models costing up to PS1,000. However, a basic four-zone ceramic or induction hob from a big brand should still cost you less than PS200. And if you want a stylish glass model, it shouldn't cost much also, as there are top options from own brands. However, bear in mind that both ceramic and induction hobs need a specific supply configured with the right cables and breakers to work so you'll need it installed by a qualified electrician.
