The best hob Hobs

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

Gas hobs are preferred by our experts for their versatility and precise control of flames. Electric models are more energy efficient and are easier to clean. Look for features like power boost and timer that let you boost the heat quickly to speed up cooking.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a contemporary and efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking space as gas hobs do magnet technology to heat the copper coils underneath the pans. This means the cooktop itself remains cool to the surface, making them safer to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than kettles and require less power. They're now a common kitchen appliance in HelloFresh's test kitchen and we are in love with this sleek, premium model by AEG which boasts four cooking zones with individually controlled functions as well as an easy-to-use minute minder. It is smooth and wipes clean with ease and is easy to use with the touch control panels, but one minor issue (which is common for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be patchy; however this is only noticeable when trying to stir-fry.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year warranty and impressive eco certifications. It has an A+ rating for energy efficiency with a low power consumption of just 750w per cooking zone. The "Flux Zone" feature lets you move your pans within the four zones and adjust the power levels to suit your pots or saucepans. Meanwhile, the 'Power Boost" function boosts the output of the hob by 50% to speed up boiling. The auto-shutoff function as well as the 'fryingSensor' feature, which helps to prevent overheating of your pan, are also useful features.

This is an induction cooktop with a low price tag that can be wired to a worktop or a new one. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly identified with the use of a cross or ring to show where the center of the coil is beneath and there's an easy-to-use control panel. It has a wide "Flux zone," which can accommodate larger pots and pans easily and is pre-programmed so that you have power levels that are set in the front, middle and rear zones. This is ideal if you frequently cook with a variety of sizes or shaped pans, which need to be brought up to boiling point, then simmered and kept warm simultaneously.

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 ideal for boiling water simmering soups and sauces as well as for frying eggs and meats and pan-frying. Their popularity stems from their ability to produce high heat levels quickly and precisely, making them ideal for searing and boiling.

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to check each burner's status at glance. This is extremely useful for security. It's much harder to forget to turn off a burner on, or to switch it off by accident when compared to an electric hob.

Most models are also designed with a flat surface which makes them less difficult to clean than ceramic counterparts. There is no material that can protect the Neff T27DS59N0 from splashes or spills. You'll need to remain vigilant in cleaning to prevent the Neff T27DS59N0 from becoming stained over time.

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

Many homeowners prefer gas hobs that are freestanding over built-in models due to their effectiveness and ease of use. They are more straightforward to install and offer greater flexibility if you're trying to achieve a minimalistic look for your kitchen.

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

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

Induction hobs are the best option for those who want a sleek, energy-efficient appliance. They use electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly while the glass-ceramic surface of the hob stays cool. Induction hobs are safer (no accidental fire!) Induction hobs are safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient as they use less energy than their counterparts made of electrical or gas. However, the disadvantage of induction hobs is that they are expensive to purchase and you'll need to invest in a set of induction-compatible cookware.

Ceramic hobs are a great option for those who do not need to invest in Induction technology. These sleek and stylish hobs have a smooth glass-ceramic top that conceals heating elements. They are more aesthetically appealing and easy to clean than solid plate hobs, since they don't require difficult scouring. They heat up faster and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. They do not offer the same energy efficiency as induction hobs, which means they are not the best hob choice if are concerned about your energy usage.

Then, solid plate hobs are a good budget option, with a simple and reliable design that's perfect for everyday cooking. They're quick to heat up, making them a great option for those who do not require a large cooktop. However, they may take ages to cool down. Solid plate hobs also emit a lot of residual heat, making them not as energy-efficient as the other choices on this list.

We recommend that you look for reviews on the websites of retailers when you're considering a solid-plate hob. This will not only provide an honest assessment of the quality of the product, but will also aid you in locating the right one for your home. For instance, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys has been highly rated by customers and is finished with durable stainless steel. The black controls blend with other kitchen appliances, giving it a minimal and contemporary appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs have the advantage of being energy efficient. While gas hobs may be the preferred choice of many chefs due to their rapid heating and ease of control, they are also a popular choice due to the fact that they provide instant heating. And with modern electric ceramic and induction hobs offering advanced cooking features, such as power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a fantastic choice for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove, look for one that's streamlined with touch controls, and no buttons or dials hanging out. This makes them less difficult to clean, especially if you opt for a flat surface that won't chip or scratch. Choose a model that has child locks as well as hot indicator lights and residual heat shutoffs to prevent accidents. If you have a smart-connected home, you might prefer a digital display which lets you control your stove remotely and also receive notifications from your smartphone.

To maximize flexibility, think about a dual fuel oven hob with gas burners and induction. The FH-IC7020 by FUJIOH comes with both. It has intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones and sturdy cast iron pan supports to allow traditional gas cooking. The timer function lets you to set cooking times so that your food is cooked when you need it. This helps reduce the risk of overcooking, and makes your food less flavorful.

For added convenience, you may want a model that allows you to merge two cooking zones into a single zone to accommodate pans of various dimensions and shapes. This will save space and is useful for cooking in large rectangular vessels, such as roasting pans. Some hobs also have the option of adding Teppanyaki grills or induction plates to give you additional cooking options.

You'll find cheap own-brand gas hobs starting at PS100 and more expensive models that can cost as high as PS1,000. However, a basic four-zone ceramic or induction hob from a reputable brand should cost no more than PS200. If you're looking for glass models there are a variety of excellent alternatives from manufacturers of own brand. But, keep in mind that both induction and ceramic hobs require a specific supply with the appropriate breakers and cables so you'll have to have it installed by a licensed electrician.
