The Best Hobs

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

Gas hobs are preferred by our experts for their versatility and precise control of the flame. But, electric models provide superior energy efficiency and are easier to keep clean. You can speed up the cooking process by utilizing features like power boosts and a timer.

1. Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a modern and efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking area like gas hobs they utilize magnetic technology to warm up the copper coils below your pans. This means that the cooktop remains cool to the point of contact, making them more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than a kettle and require less power. The AEG premium model is a favourite in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It features four cooking zones, each with its distinct functions, as well as a minute timer. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch-sensitive control panels are easy to use. However the heat distribution is uneven. This is a frequent complaint for all induction hobs.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year guarantee and impressive green credentials; it has an A+ rating for energy efficiency, with a low energy consumption of just 700w for each cooking zone. The "Flux Zone" feature lets you to move your pans between the four zones and adjust the power levels to suit your pots or saucepans. Additionally, the "Power booster" function boosts the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds the boiling process. The auto-shutoff function and Best Hobs the 'fryingSensor' that prevents overheating of your pan are also helpful features.

This is an induction cooktop with a reasonable price that can be wired to a kitchen worktop or a new one. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly identified with an arrow or cross to indicate which side of the coil is it, and there's also an easy-to-use touch-control panel. It has a large "Flux zone" that can accommodate larger pots and pans effortlessly and is pre-programmed so that you have power levels set in the front and back zones. This is great if you often cook with different sizes or shaped pans that need to be brought to a boiling point, then simmered and kept warm while cooking.

2. Gas Hobs

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

The flame indicator's visual display allows you to see the status of each burner at glance. This is extremely useful to ensure security. It's much more difficult to forget to turn off the burner on, or even switch it on by accident as it is with an electric hob.

Gas hobs are also more energy-efficient than their induction cousins, as they heat up faster and evenly, which saves the cost of electricity. This is especially true with vented stoves that combine the two appliances in one unit and eliminate the need for a vent hood. This can save on the space in your kitchen and also create an elegant and modern design that will be able to blend in with any style of interior.

Many homeowners prefer gas hobs that are freestanding over built-in models because of their effectiveness and ease of use. These are easier to set up and provide more flexibility in the event that you want to create a an elegant kitchen design.

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 for you're looking for a greener alternative. However, you'll need to be able to locate a suitable LPG stove and boiler before this becomes an option for you. These models require gas supply as well as ventilation and regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

These hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat your pans and pots directly, while the flat glass-ceramic surface of the hob stays cool. This makes induction hobs more secure (no accidental burns!) Induction hobs are safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient since they consume less energy than counterparts made of electrical or gas. However, one disadvantage of induction hobs is that they can be expensive to purchase. You'll need to invest in an induction-compatible set of cookware.

If you don't want to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs offer a good alternative. These stylish and sleek hobs feature a smooth glass-ceramic top and hidden heating elements. They are more visually pleasing and easier to clean than solid plate hobs, because they don't need hard scrubbing. They also get hot faster than solid plate hobs and are more adaptable to the needs of your cook. They don't offer the same energy efficiency as induction hobs. Therefore, they might not be a good choice if you are concerned about your energy usage.

They're easy to heat up and are ideal for those who don't require a powerful cooktop, however they're not quick to cool down, which is why they're not the best option for chefs who are able to multitask. Solid plate hobs also release lots of heat, so they're not as efficient in energy use as other choices on this list.

We recommend that you look for reviews on retailer websites in the event that you are thinking about a solid-plate hob. This will not only provide you with an honest view into how it works however, it will also help you to find a model that's right for your home.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs have the advantage of being energy-efficient. Although gas hobs might be a favorite choice for many chefs due to their instant heating and control, they are also popular because they provide instant warmth. Also, with modern electric ceramic and induction stoves that come with advanced cooking features, such as power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a great option for busy households.

Find an electric hob that has a streamlined design with control buttons that are touch-sensitive. Avoid those with buttons or dials that protrude. They are easier to clean with a flat surface, which won't scratch or chip. For security, opt for models with child lock with hot indicators, as well as residual heat shut-offs that can help prevent accidents. If you have a smart home, you may opt for a digital display which allows you to manage your hob from afar and receive notifications on your smartphone.

Think about a dual-fuel hob that has both induction and gas burners for maximum flexibility. The FUJIOH FH-IC7020 hybrid cooktop comes with both, and has intuitive touchscreen controls for the induction zones as well as durable cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function that lets you set specific cooking times for dishes so they are ready when needed and reduces the risk of overcooking and making food less tasty.

To make cooking more convenient for added convenience, a kitchen appliance with two separate cooking zones for pans in different shapes and sizes could be the best choice. This will save space and is useful for those who cook frequently with large rectangular cooking vessels like roasting pans. Additionally, some stoves offer the option of adding induction plates or teppanyaki grills to provide 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. A basic four-zone ceramic or an induction hob from a reputable brand should cost no more than PS200. If you're looking for glass models there are plenty of great options from own-brand manufacturers. But, keep in mind that both ceramic and induction hobs oven need a specific supply configured with the right breakers and cables so you'll need to get it installed by a licensed electrician.
