The Best Hobs

modern-style-kitchen-interior-design-with-dark-wal-2023-11-27-04-52-56-utc-min-jpg-original.jpgHobs are available in a variety of sizes and materials. The most effective hobs are durable, stylish and simple to clean.

Gas hobs are favored by our experts due to their versatility and precise control of flames. However, electric hobs can offer superior energy efficiency and are easier to clean. You can accelerate the cooking process with features such as power boosts and a timer.

1. Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a modern 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 heat the copper coils underneath the pans. The cooktop is cool to the touch, making it safer to use and simpler to clean. They also heat water faster than traditional kettles and consume less energy. They're now a common kitchen appliance in HelloFresh's test kitchen and we appreciate this sleek, premium model from AEG which boasts four cooking zones with individually controlled functions and a handy minute minder. It is smooth and wipes clean with ease and is easy to operate by using the touch-sensitive control panels. However, one small issue (which is common for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be uneven; however, it is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction cooker comes with a five-year warranty and impressive environmental credentials. It has an A+ energy rating, with the lowest power consumption of 750W for each cooking zone. The 'Flux Zone' feature allows the pans to be moved between the four zones and adjust the power levels according to the pots or pans you use. In addition, the "Power boost" function increases the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds up boiling. Other handy features include an auto-shut off function and an 'fryingSensor' to prevent your pan from overheating, so you don't need to worry about burning food.

This is an induction cooktop with a reasonable price that can be hardwired to a worktop or a new one. The independently controlled cooking zones are clearly identified with an arrow or cross to show you which side of the coil is beneath it, and there's also an easy-to-use touch-control panel. It features a large "Flux zone" that can accommodate larger pots and pans with ease and is pre-programmed to have set power levels in the front and middle zones as well as the rear. This is great if you often cook with multiple different sized or shaped pans that have to be brought up to boiling point, then simmered and kept warm while cooking.

A gas hob (or gas cooktop for those who are American) remains the most popular choice in cooking in the kitchen. These are the ultimate go-to for boiling water boiling soups and sauces, simmering them cooking eggs, pan-frying eggs, and frying meats. Their popularity is due to their ability to produce high temperatures quickly and precisely, which makes them ideal for boiling and searing.

The flame's visual indicator makes it easy to check the status of each burner at a glance, which is useful for safety reasons. It's much more difficult to forget about leaving a burner on, or switch it off by accident when compared to an electric hob.

A majority of models are designed with a flat surface which makes them less difficult to clean than their ceramic counterparts. That said, it seems that there's no material that could keep out spills and splashes completely, so you'll have to be vigilant about cleaning duties to prevent the Neff T27DS59N0 from fading over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy efficient than induction counterparts as they heat up more quickly and more evenly, thus reducing energy costs. This is especially true with vented stoves, which combine the two appliances into one and eliminate the need for vent hoods. This will save space in your kitchen, and create a sleeker look that will blend into any interior style.

Many homeowners prefer gas hobs that are freestanding over built-in models because of their effectiveness and ease of use. They are less difficult to install and provide 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 offer a renewable energy source. This is an excellent option if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint. You'll need to locate an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you think about this option. Moreover, these models will require a gas supply and ventilation and regular maintenance to ensure that there are no leaks.

3. Sealed Plate Hobs

If you're looking for an energy-efficient and sleek option an induction cooker is the best oven choice. These hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat your pans and pots directly while the ceramic-ceramic glass surface remains cool. This makes induction hobs safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient, as they use less electricity than electric or gas counterparts. Induction hobs can be expensive and you will need to purchase kitchen appliances that are compatible with induction.

If you don't wish to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs oven offer a good middle ground. These stylish and sleek hobs feature a smooth glass-ceramic top with hidden heating elements. They're more visually pleasing and easier to clean than solid plate hobs because they don't need difficult scouring. They also get hot faster than solid plate hobs and are more adaptable to the needs of your cook. However, they fall behind induction hobs when it is energy efficiency, so if conscious of your energy consumption this may not be the best choice for you.

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 warm up and are perfect for those who don't need a powerful cooktop, however they can be slow to cool down, so they're not the best choice for chefs who are able to be multitasking. Solid plate hobs also give off a lot of residual heat, which means they're not as energy-efficient as other options on this list.

We suggest that you search for reviews on websites of retailers if you are considering a solid-plate hob. This will not only provide you with an honest assessment of the performance of the product however, it will also aid you in locating one that is right for your home. For example this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys is highly rated by customers and is finished with long-lasting stainless steel. The black controls blend in with other appliances in the kitchen and give it a minimalist and contemporary appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs offer the benefit of being energy-efficient. Although gas hobs might be a favorite choice for many chefs due to their rapid heating and control, they're also a popular choice because they are quick to heating. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves offer sophisticated cooking functions, such as power increase 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 hanging out. They are more easy 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 stop accidents. If you're an intelligent home, opt for an electronic display that gives you a remote control and alerts through your smartphone, so you can manage your hob effortlessly.

For ultimate flexibility, consider a dual fuel hob that includes gas and induction burners. The FH-IC7020 by FUJIOH comes with both. It has intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones, and durable cast iron pan supports that allow traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function, which allows you to set specific cooking times for dishes so they're ready for use when needed and reduces the risk of cooking too long and making food less tasty.

Lastly, for added convenience, you might want a model that allows you to join two cooking zones into one larger zone for pans of varying dimensions and shapes. This can help save space and is ideal when cooking with large rectangular cooking dishes such as roasting pans. Some hobs also have the option of adding induction plates or Teppanyaki grills to give you additional cooking options.

Gas hobs are available in a range of prices, from as low as PS100 to premium models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic or an induction hob from a reputable brand should still cost you no more than PS200. If you prefer glass models there are plenty of great alternatives from manufacturers of own brand. Be aware that ceramic and induction hobs require a specific supply with the right breakers and cables to function, which means you will need to have it installed by an electrician.
