The best hobs (read)

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

Gas hobs are favored by our experts for their versatility and precision control of the flame. However, electric hobs can provide superior energy efficiency and are easier to clean. You can accelerate the cooking process with features like an energy boost or a timer.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a modern, efficient alternative to the traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking space as gas hobs do, they employ magnet technology to only heat the copper coils beneath your pans. The cooktop remains cool to the touch, making it safer to use and easier to clean. They are able to boil water faster than a kettle and require less power. They're now a common kitchen appliance in the HelloFresh kitchen test kitchen. We are in love with this sleek, premium model from AEG which boasts four cooking zones, each with its own controlled functions and a handy minute minder. It has a smooth surface that wipes clean with ease and is easy to operate by using the touch-sensitive control panels, but one small issue (which is typical for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be uneven; however, this is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction hob comes with a five-year guarantee and impressive eco ratings. It is a A+ rating for energy efficiency and a low energy consumption of just 750w per cooking zone. The "Flux Zone" feature lets the pans to be moved between the four zones and adjust the power levels according to your pots or saucepans. Meanwhile, the 'Power boost" function increases the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds the boiling process. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor' that prevents overheating of your pan are also helpful features.

This is a fantastic low-cost induction hob that is easily wired and fitted to a new or existing worktop. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly identified with the use of a cross or ring to show where the centre of the coil is beneath it, and there's also an easy-to-use touch-control panel. It comes with a large "Flux Zone" that can be used to accommodate larger pots or pans. It's also pre-programmed to have preset power levels for the front and middle zones. This is great if you often cook with different sizes or shaped pans that need to be brought to a boil, simmered and kept warm while cooking.

2. Gas Hobs

Gas hobs (or gas cooktops if you're American) are the most efficient option to cook in your kitchen. They are the best for boiling water, simmering sauces and soups cooking eggs and meats, frying them and pan-frying. Their popularity stems from their ability to produce high heat levels quickly and precisely, making them perfect for boiling and searing.

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to check each burner's status at glance. This is very useful to ensure safety. It's much more difficult to forget to leave the burner on, or switch it off by accident when compared to an electric hob and oven.

The majority of models have a flat surface, which makes them easier to maintain than their ceramic counterparts. There is no material that can protect the Neff T27DS59N0 from splashes or spills. You'll need to be cautious when cleaning to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 becoming stained over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction cousins because they heat up faster and more evenly, thus reducing energy costs. This is especially true for vented stoves that combine the two appliances in one unit and eliminate the requirement for a vent hood. This will save space in your kitchen, as well as resulting in an elegant and modern design that will blend in with any style of interior.

Due to their effectiveness and their ease of use, a lot of homeowners opt for freestanding gas hobs rather than built-in versions. They are simpler to install, ovens and hobs uk offer more flexibility in the event that you want to create a an elegant kitchen design.

A freestanding model is connected to a bottle containing liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to provide an alternative energy source. This is a great option for those who you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint. You'll need to find an LPG stove and boiler you like before you look into this alternative. These models require a gas supply as well as a ventilation system, and regular maintenance to ensure that there are no leaks.

3. Sealed Plate Hobs

If you're seeking an elegant oven and hob energy-efficient choice, an induction hob uk is definitely the way to go. They use electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly, while the flat ceramic-ceramic glass surface remains cool. This makes induction hobs more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient, as they use less electricity than their gas or electric counterparts. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll need to invest in induction-compatible cookware.

If you don't wish to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs can be a good middle ground. These sleek and stylish hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic surface with heating elements that are hidden beneath that make them more aesthetically pleasing than solid plate hobs and easier to clean since there's no need to do complicated scrubbing. They are more efficient in heating and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. They do not have the same efficiency as induction hobs. Therefore, they are not a good choice if you are worried about your energy consumption.

Solid plate hobs, the affordable option, with their simple and sturdy design, are ideal for cooking at home. They are quick to heat up, making them a good choice for those who don't require a powerful cooktop. However, they may take ages to cool down. Solid plate hobs are not as efficient in energy as other alternatives.

If you're thinking of buying a sturdy plate hob, we suggest selecting one that's been reviewed by customers on retailers websites. Not only will this provide you with an honest view into how it works however, it will assist you in locating the right model for your home. For example, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys has been praised by customers and is finished in durable stainless steel. The black controls blend in with other appliances in the kitchen, giving it a minimal and contemporary appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs have the benefit of being energy-efficient. Although gas hobs might be a favorite choice for many chefs due to their rapid heating and ease of control, they are also a popular choice because they are quick to heat. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves come with sophisticated cooking functions, such as power increase settings and temperature control. They're a great option for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove choose one that is sleek with touch controls, and no buttons or dials hanging out. This makes them easier to clean, especially if you opt for flat surfaces that don't scratch or chip. Select a model with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to prevent accidents. If you're a smart-connected home, opt for an electronic display that gives you remote control and notifications via your smartphone, ensuring you can manage your hob with ease.

Consider a dual-fuel hob and oven which has gas and induction burners for maximum flexibility. FUJIOH's FH-IC7020 hybrid hob comes with both, and has intuitive touchscreen controls for the induction zones as well as hard-wearing cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. The timer function allows you to set cooking times to ensure that your food is ready when you need it. This minimizes the chance of cooking too long and makes your food less tasty.

For added convenience for added convenience, a kitchen appliance with two separate zones for cooking pans in different shapes and sizes could be the best option. This can help save space and can be beneficial for cooking in large rectangular vessels like roasting pans. Some hobs have the option of adding induction plates or Teppanyaki grills to provide additional cooking options.

Gas hobs are available at various costs, from as little as PS100 to high-end models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic stove or an induction model from a major brand will not cost more than PS200. And if you want a stylish glass model, it won't cost a fortune too, since there are top options from own brands. Be aware that ceramic and induction hobs require a specific supply with the right breakers and cables to function, so you will need to have it installed by an electrician.
