The Best Hobs

Hobs come in a range of sizes and materials. The most durable hobs are sturdy, stylish and easy to clean.

Our experts prefer gas hobs because of their precise flame control and flexibility. But, electric models offer superior energy efficiency and are easier to clean. You can speed up the cooking process by using features like a power boost and a timer.

1. Hobs Induction

Induction hobs offer a modern efficient and effective alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking zone as gas hobs do they employ magnetic technology to warm up the copper coils below the pans. The cooktop is cool to the touch and is therefore safer to use and simpler for cleaning. They are able to boil water faster than kettles and require less energy. They're now a common kitchen appliance in the HelloFresh test kitchen, and we love this sleek, premium model from AEG which comes with four cooking zones with individually controlled functions as well as an easy-to-use minute timer. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch control panels are easy to use. However, the heat distribution is patchy. This is a common complaint with all induction stoves.

The AEG induction cooker comes with a warranty of five years and impressive eco credentials. It comes with an A+ energy rating and a low power consumption of 750 watts for each cooking zone. The 'Flux zone' feature allows the pans to be moved around within the four zones and adjust their power levels to suit your pans or pots as well as the 'PowerBoost function boosts the output by 50% to ensure quick boiling. Other useful features include an auto-shutoff function, as well as an 'fryingSensor' to prevent your pan from overheating, which means you do not have to worry about burning food items.

This is an induction cooktop that is priced at a bargain that can be wired to a kitchen worktop or a new one. The cooking zones can be controlled independently and are identified by an arrow or cross to indicate the center of the coil. There is also an electronic control panel that can be operated by touch. It has a wide "Flux zone," which can accommodate larger pans and pots with ease, and it's pre-programmed to have power levels set in the front and back zones. This is great if you often cook with multiple different sized or shaped pans that need to be brought to a boiling point, then simmered and kept warm simultaneously.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or gas cooktop if you're American) remains the most popular choice when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. These are the ultimate go-to for boiling water boiling soups and sauces, simmering them, frying eggs and pan-frying meats. Their popularity stems from their ability to create high temperatures quickly and precisely, making them ideal for searing and boiling.

The flame's visual indicator allows you to see the status of each burner in a glance, which is useful for safety reasons. With an electric hob, it's less likely to accidentally turn on the burner or forget that it was turned on.

A majority of models are designed with a flat surface, which makes them easier to clean than their ceramic counterparts. There is no material that will protect the Neff T27DS59N0 against 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 energy efficient than their induction cousins because they heat up more quickly and more evenly, thus reducing electricity costs. This is especially true with vented hobs that combine two appliances into one and eliminate the need for an hood. This will save space in your kitchen, and also create a sleeker design that will be able to blend in with any style of interior.

As a result of their efficiency and ease of use, many homeowners opt for gas hobs that are freestanding rather than built-in versions. These can be more straightforward to install and offer more flexibility when you want to achieve a minimalistic look for your kitchen.

Another advantage of choosing a freestanding model is the possibility of connecting it to an LPG bottle. gas (LPG), which provides an alternative energy source if you're looking for a more sustainable alternative. You'll have to find an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you look into this option. These models require a gas supply as well as a ventilation system, and regular maintenance to ensure that there are no leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

If you're looking for an elegant and energy-efficient choice an induction cooker is the best choice. Hobs that induction are able to heat pots and pans by using electromagnetic fields, and the glass-ceramic surface remains cool. This makes induction hobs more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient, as they consume less electricity than gas or electric counterparts. However, the drawback of induction hobs is that they can be expensive to purchase. In addition, you'll require a set of induction-compatible cookware.

For those who don't want to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs can be a good alternative. These sleek and stylish hobs have a smooth, glass-ceramic surface with heating elements that are hidden beneath, which makes them more aesthetically pleasing than solid plate hobs oven. They're also easier to clean, as there's no need to do tricky cleaning. They also are more efficient at heating than solid plate hobs and are more responsive to your cooking needs. They do not have the same energy efficiency as induction hobs. Therefore, they may not be an ideal choice if you are concerned about your energy consumption.

Solid plate hobs, which are a affordable option, with their simple and reliable design, are ideal for cooking in the everyday. They're quick to heat up and are ideal for those who don't require a high-powered cooktop, but they're slow to cool down, which is why they're not the best choice for dynamic chefs who like to multitask. Solid plate hobs oven also emit a lot of residual heat, which means they're not as efficient as other options on this list.

If you're considering a solid plate hob, we suggest looking for one that's been reviewed by customers on retailers websites. This will not only provide you with a clear view into how it works, but it will also help you to find the right model for your home. For example this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate hob and oven from Currys is highly rated by customers and is made of long-lasting stainless steel. The black controls blend in with other appliances in the kitchen with a sleek and contemporary appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are the preferred option for cooks due to their instant heat and easy control, electric models offer the benefit of being more energy efficient. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves have advanced cooking functions like power boost settings and temperature control. They're a great option for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove choose one that's streamlined with touch controls and no buttons or dials sticking out. They are easier to clean when they have a smooth surface, and won't scratch or chip. Select a model with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to prevent accidents. And, if you have a smart-connected home, opt for a digital display that gives you control of your hob remotely and also notifications via your smartphone, so you can manage your hob with ease.

Think about a dual-fuel hob that comes with both induction and gas burners for maximum flexibility. 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. There's also a timer function, which allows you to set cooking times for meals so they're ready for use when needed - reducing the risk of overcooking and making food less delicious.

For added convenience, a model with two separate cooking pans of various shapes and sizes could be the best choice. This can save on space and is beneficial for those who cook frequently using large rectangular cooking vessels, like roasting pans. Some hobs also offer the option of adding Teppanyaki grills or induction plates to give you additional cooking options.

Gas hobs are available in a range of prices, ranging from as low as PS100 to premium models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic stove or 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 both induction and ceramic 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.
