The best hob uk Hobs

hobs and ovens are available in a variety of materials and sizes. The most durable hobs are long-lasting elegant, stylish and easy to clean.

Our experts favour gas hobs due to their precise flame control and versatility. However, electric hobs can offer superior energy efficiency and are more easy to clean. You can speed up the cooking process by using features like an energy boost or a timer.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs offer a modern, efficient alternative to the traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating up the entire cooking area like gas hobs do magnet technology to heat the copper coils underneath the pans. The cooktop stays cool to touch, making it more secure to use and easier to clean. They are able to boil more quickly than kettles and require less energy. They're now a standard kitchen appliance in the HelloFresh test kitchen and we appreciate this sleek, premium kitchen appliances model by AEG that comes with four cooking zones with individually controlled functions as well as an efficient minute minder. The smooth surface is easy to clean and the touch-sensitive control panels are simple to use. However the heat distribution is uneven. This is a common complaint for all induction hobs.

The AEG induction cooker comes with a five-year warranty and impressive environmental credentials. It has an A+ energy rating, with a low power usage 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 the boiling process. The auto-shutoff function as well as the 'fryingSensor' that ensures that your pan is not overheated are other useful features.

This is a great budget-friendly induction hob that can be easily hardwired and fitted to a brand new or existing worktop. The zones of cooking that are independently controlled are clearly marked with a ring or cross to indicate where the centre of the coil is and there's an easy-to-use control panel. It features a large 'Flux Zone' which can hold larger pans or pots. It's also pre-programmed to have preset power levels for the front, middle, and rear zones. This is ideal if you frequently cook with different sizes or shaped pans that have to be brought up to boiling point, then simmered and kept warm while cooking.

2. Gas Hobs

A gas hob (or gas cooktop, for those who are American) still reigns supreme in cooking in the kitchen. They're the ideal choice for boiling water boiling soups and sauces, simmering them, frying eggs and pan-frying meats. Their popularity is due to their ability to rapidly and accurately produce high heat levels which makes them ideal for searing and boiling.

The flame indicator's visual display makes it easy to determine each burner's status at a glance. This is very helpful for safety. It's a lot harder to forget to turn off the burner on, or even switch it on by accident, than it is with an electric hob.

A majority of models are designed with a flat surface which makes them easier to clean than ceramic counterparts. There isn't a material that can protect the Neff T27DS59N0 from splashes and spills. You'll have to be vigilant in cleaning to prevent the Neff T27DS59N0 from getting stained over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy efficient than induction cousins because they are able to heat faster and more evenly, reducing electricity costs. This is especially true with vented hobs, which combine two appliances and eliminate the need for the grill. This can free up space in your kitchen, and create an elegant look that can be a perfect fit with any style of interior.

Many homeowners prefer freestanding gas hobs to built-in models because of their efficiency and ease-of-use. They are easier to install and provide more flexibility if you're looking to achieve a minimalistic look for your kitchen.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to provide a different source of energy. This is a great option if you are looking to go green. You'll need to locate an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you can think about this alternative. In addition, these models require a gas supply and ventilation as well as regular maintenance to ensure there are no leaks.

3. Sealed Plate Hobs

Induction hobs are the ideal choice if you're looking for a sleek, energy-efficient appliance. These hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat your pots and pans directly and the flat ceramic surface of the hob stays cool. Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental fire!) Induction hobs are safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient as they use less energy than their electrical or gas counterparts. However, one disadvantage of induction hobs is that they are expensive to purchase. You'll have to purchase an induction-compatible set of cookware.

Ceramic hobs are a good alternative for those who don't need to invest in Induction technology. These stylish and sleek hobs have a smooth, glass-ceramic surface that has heating elements concealed beneath which makes them more attractive than solid plate hobs. They are also easier to clean as there's no need for a complicated scrubbing. They are more efficient in heating and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. They don't have the same efficiency as induction hobs, so they might not be an ideal choice if you 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 are quick to get hot, making them a good option for those who don't require a large cooktop. However, they do take a long time to cool. Solid plate hobs are not as energy efficient as other alternatives.

If you're thinking of buying a sturdy plate hob, we recommend choosing one that has been rated by customers on retailers websites. This will not only provide you with an honest assessment of the performance of the model however, it will also aid you in locating the right one for your home. For example, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys has been 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 look.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are a favourite choice for many cooks due to their quick heat and easy control, electric models are more energy-efficient. And with modern electric ceramic and induction stoves that come with advanced cooking functions, like power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're an excellent choice for busy households.

When you're choosing an electric stove make sure you choose one that's streamlined with touch controls and without buttons or dials hanging out. They are easier to clean if they have a flat surface that doesn't scratch or chip. For security, opt for one with child locks, hot indicators and residual heat shut-offs that can help prevent accidents. If you have an intelligent home, opt for digital displays that give you a remote control and alerts via your smartphone, ensuring you can manage your oven hob easily.

Consider a dual-fuel hob that has gas and induction burners for maximum flexibility. FUJIOH's FH-IC7020 hybrid hob includes both, with easy touchscreen controls for the induction zones and hard-wearing cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. The timer function lets you to set certain cooking times to ensure that your food is cooked when you need it. This reduces the risk of cooking too long, and can make your food less tasty.

For added convenience For added convenience, a model that has two separate cooking pans of various shapes and sizes is the best option. This can save on space and is ideal if you often cook with large rectangular cooking dishes such as roasting pans. Similarly, some hobs have the option of adding induction plates or teppanyaki grills for additional cooking options.

There are cheap gas hobs for sale starting at PS100 and pricier high-end models that cost up to PS1,000. However, a basic four-zone ceramic or induction hob from a major brand should cost less than PS200. And if you want a stylish glass model, it won't cost a fortune too, since there are fantastic options that are made by own brand. However, bear in mind that both induction and ceramic hobs need a specific supply with the appropriate cables and breakers to work so you'll need it installed by a certified electrician.
