The Best Hobs

Hobs are available in different sizes and materials. The best hobs are durable elegant, stylish and easy to clean.

Gas hobs are favored by our experts due to their versatility and precise flame control. 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 boost the heat quickly to increase the speed of cooking.

1. Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are an innovative and efficient alternative to traditional ceramic or gas models. Instead of heating up the entire cooking area like gas hobs do, they use magnet technology to only heat the copper coils that are beneath the pans. The cooktop remains cool to the touch and is therefore more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil more quickly than kettles and use less energy. The AEG premium model is a favorite in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It has four cooking zones each with its own functions and an hour minder. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch control panels are simple to use. However the distribution of heat is uneven. This is a common issue with all induction stoves.

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 energy consumption of just 775 watts per cooking zone. The "Flux zone" feature allows the pans to be moved around within the four zones and adjust the power levels to fit your pans or pots and the 'Power Boost feature boosts the output by 50% to ensure rapid boiling. The auto-shutoff feature and the 'fryingSensor' feature, which prevents overheating of your pan are other useful features.

This is a budget-friendly induction hob that can be easily wired and attached to a new or existing worktop. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly identified with an arrow or cross to indicate where the centre of the coil is, while there's an easy-to-use control panel. It has a large "Flux zone" that can accommodate larger pots and pans easily, and it's pre-programmed to have power levels that are set in the front, middle and rear zones. This is an excellent option if you cook with a variety of pans of different sizes and shapes that need to be heated and simmered at the same time, and then kept warm.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or Best ovens and hobs uk (www.metooo.com) gas cooktop, if you're American) still reigns supreme when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. They are ideal for boiling water, simmering sauces and soups, frying meats and eggs, and pan-frying. Their popularity is due to their ability to rapidly and accurately produce high temperatures which makes them ideal for searing and boiling.

The visual flame indicator allows you to see each burner's status at glance. This is very helpful to ensure safety. It's much more difficult to forget to turn off the burner on, or switch it off accidentally as it is with an electric hob.

Most models are also designed with a flat surface, which makes them less difficult to clean than ceramic counterparts. There isn't a material that can shield the Neff T27DS59N0 against splashes or spills. You'll need to be careful when cleaning to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 becoming stained over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy-efficient than their counterparts induction, since they heat up more quickly and evenly, reducing the cost of electricity. This is particularly true with vented hobs that combine two appliances and eliminate the requirement for an Hood. This can help save space in your kitchen, as well as resulting in an elegant and modern design that will be able to blend in with any style of interior.

Because of their effectiveness and their ease of use, a lot of homeowners opt for gas hobs that stand on their own instead of built-in models. They are simpler to install and provide more flexibility when you want to achieve an elegant kitchen design.

Another advantage of choosing freestanding models is the ability to connect it to a bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which is an alternative energy source for you're looking for a more sustainable option. You'll need to locate an LPG stove and boiler you like before you can think about this alternative. In addition, these models require gas supply and ventilation, as well as regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

If you're seeking a sleek and energy-efficient option an induction hob is definitely the choice. They heat pans and pots using electromagnetic fields, and the glass-ceramic surface stays cool. This makes induction hobs more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient, since they use less electricity than their electric or gas counterparts. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll need to buy kitchen appliances that are compatible with induction.

Ceramic hobs are a good option for those who don't wish to invest in technology of induction. These sleek and stylish hobs and ovens have a smooth glass-ceramic top that conceals heating elements. They're more visually appealing and easy to clean than solid plate hobs because they don't need hard scrubbing. Additionally, they get hot faster than solid plate hobs and are more responsive to your cooking needs. They do not have the same efficiency as induction hobs, so they might not be the best hob uk choice if are concerned about your energy consumption.

Then, solid plate hobs are the budget option, with a simple and sturdy design that's ideal for cooking in the everyday. They're quick to get hot and ideal for those who don't need a high-powered cooktop, but they're slow to cool down, so they're not the best option for dynamic chefs who like to multitask. Solid plate hobs are also not as efficient in energy as other options.

If you're considering a solid plate hob, we recommend choosing one that's been reviewed by customers on retailers websites. This will not only provide you with an honest view into how it works and how it's used, but it can aid you in finding the perfect model for your home. For instance this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys is highly rated by customers and is finished with durable stainless steel. The black controls go well with other kitchen appliances, giving it sleek and modern appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are a favourite option for cooks due to their quick heat and easy control, electric hobs have the advantage of being more energy-efficient. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves offer sophisticated cooking functions, such as power boost settings and temperature control. They're a great option for busy households.

When selecting an electric hob make sure you choose one that has a sleek design with touch controls and no dials or buttons sticking out. This makes them easy to clean, especially when you choose an even surface that doesn't chip or scratch. Select a model with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to avoid accidents. If you have a smart connected home, you might want to choose a digital display that lets you control your stove remotely and receive notifications on your smartphone.

For ultimate flexibility, consider a dual fuel hob with gas and induction burners. FUJIOH's FH-IC7020 hybrid hob includes both, with easy touchscreen controls for the induction zones, and durable cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. The timer function lets you to set certain cooking times so that food is ready at the time you require it. This helps reduce the risk of cooking too long and makes your food less delicious.

For additional convenience, a model with two separate cooking pans of different shapes and sizes is the best option. This can help save space and is useful if you cook with large rectangular vessels, such as roasting pans. Similarly, some hobs have the option of adding induction plates or teppanyaki grills as extra cooking options.

There are cheap gas hobs starting at PS100 and more expensive models that can cost as high as PS1,000. But a basic four-zone ceramic or an induction hob from a big brand should still cost you not more than PS200. If you're looking for an elegant 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 require a particular supply that is plugged in with the correct breakers and cables so you'll need it installed by a licensed electrician.
