The Best Hobs

Hobs are available in different sizes and materials. The best hob (www.chara-ani.com`s latest blog post) hobs are durable and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Gas hobs are favored by our experts for their versatility and precision flame control. However, electric models can offer superior energy efficiency and are more easy to keep clean. Look for features such as a timer or power boost that allow you to increase the heat quickly to speed up cooking.

1. Induction hobs and ovens

Induction hobs are a modern and efficient alternative to traditional ceramic or gas models. Instead of heating up the entire cooking area as gas hobs do, they use magnet technology to heat only the copper coils beneath the pans. The cooktop remains cool to touch which makes it more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil more quickly than kettles and require less power. The AEG premium model is a popular choice in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It has four cooking zones each with its specific functions and an hour 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 frequent complaint with all induction hobs.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year guarantee and impressive eco credentials; it has an A+ rating for energy efficiency and a low power consumption of just 775 watts per cooking zone. The 'Flux zone' feature allows the pans to be moved around within the four zones and alter the power levels to fit your pans or pots as well as the 'PowerBoost' function increases the output by 50% to ensure speedy boiling. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor,' which ensures that your pan is not overheated, are also useful features.

This is a low-cost induction hob that can be easily hardwired and fitted to a new or existing worktop. The cooking zones that are independently controlled are clearly marked with the use of a cross or ring to indicate where the center of the coil is and there's an easy-to-use control panel. It has a large "Flux zone," which can accommodate larger pots and pans effortlessly and is pre-programmed so that you have set power levels in the front, middle and rear zones. This is great if you often cook with a variety of sizes or shaped pans that have to be brought to a boiling point, then simmered and kept warm at the same time.

2. Gas Hobs

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

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to check the status of each burner at a glance. This is very helpful for safety. With an electric hob, it's less likely to switch off an appliance or forget it was on.

Most models have a flat surface, which makes them less difficult to maintain than their ceramic counterparts. That said, it seems that there's no material that can stop spills and splashes completely, so you'll need to be vigilant about cleaning to keep the Neff T27DS59N0 from getting blemished over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy efficient than induction counterparts, as they heat up more quickly and evenly, reducing energy costs. This is particularly the case with vented hobs, which combine two appliances into one and eliminate the need for an hood. This will save space in your kitchen and give it an elegant look that can be a perfect fit with any style of interior.

As a result of their effectiveness and ease of use, many home owners prefer to go for gas hobs that stand on their own rather than built-in versions. These are easier to install, and offer more flexibility when you want to achieve an elegant kitchen design.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle that contains liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to provide a different source of energy. This is a great option if you want to go green. However, you'll need to find the right LPG stove and boiler before this option becomes a possibility for you. These models require gas supply as well as a ventilation system, oven and hob regular maintenance to ensure there are no leaks.

3. Sealed Plate Hobs

Induction hobs are the ideal choice if you're looking for an elegant, energy-efficient appliance. Induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to heat your pans and pots directly, while the flat ceramic-ceramic glass surface keeps it cool. Induction hobs are safer (no accidental fire!) and more efficient, since they use less power than their gas or electric counterparts. 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.

Ceramic hobs are a great alternative for those who don't wish to invest in induction technology. These sleek and stylish hobs feature a smooth glass-ceramic top that conceals heating elements. They're more visually pleasing and easier to clean than solid plate hobs, because they don't need hard scrubbing. They are more efficient in heating and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. However, they do lag behind induction hobs when regards energy efficiency, so if conscious of your energy consumption this may not be the right choice for you.

Then, solid plate hobs are a good budget option, with a straightforward and reliable design that's perfect for everyday cooking. They are easy to get hot, making them a good choice for those who don't require a powerful cooktop. However, they do take a long time to cool down. Solid plate hobs also release a lot of residual heat, so they're not as efficient in energy use as the other options on this list.

We suggest that you search for reviews on retailer websites in the event that you are thinking about a solid-plate hob. This will not only give you a true insight into the performance of the product and will help you find the right one for your home. Customers have rated this Neff CSPHOBX15 Solid Plate Electric Hob from Currys high marks and it's made of sturdy 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. While gas hobs can be the preferred choice of many chefs due to their rapid heating and easy control, they are also a popular choice because they are quick to heat. With modern electric ceramic and induction hobs offering advanced cooking features, such as power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a great option for busy households.

Find an electric hob and oven that has an elegant design and has control buttons that are touch-sensitive. Avoid those with dials or buttons that protrude. They are easier to clean with a flat surface that doesn't scratch or chip. Make sure you choose a model that comes with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to prevent accidents. If you have a smart connected home, you might prefer an electronic display that lets you control your hob remotely and also receive notifications from your smartphone.

Think about a dual-fuel hob that comes with both induction and gas burners for ultimate flexibility. The FH-IC7020 by FUJIOH comes with both. It comes with intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones, and sturdy cast iron pan supports that allow traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer, which lets you set specific cooking times for meals so they are ready when needed and reduces the risk of cooking too long and making food less tasty.

Additionally, for greater convenience, you might want an appliance that allows you to combine two cooking zones into a single zone for pans of varying dimensions and shapes. This will save space and is beneficial when cooking with large rectangular cooking vessels such as roasting pans. Some hobs also have the option of adding induction plates or Teppanyaki grills to offer additional cooking options.

Gas hobs can be found in various prices, ranging from as low as PS100 to premium models costing up to PS1,000. But a basic four-zone ceramic or induction hob from a big brand should still cost you no more than PS200. And if you want an elegant glass model it shouldn't break the bank also, as there are top options from own brands. Be aware that both ceramic and induction hobs need a specific supply configured with the right cables and breakers to work so you'll need to get it installed by a licensed electrician.
