The Best Hobs

Hobs can be found in various sizes and materials. The best ovens and hobs hobs (click here to read) are durable and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Gas hobs are preferred by our experts for their versatility and precision control of flames. But, electric models offer superior energy efficiency and are easier to keep clean. Look for features like a timer and power boost that allow you to boost the heat quickly to speed up cooking.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs offer a modern efficient and effective alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating up the entire cooking area like gas ovens hobs do magnet technology to heat the copper coils beneath the pans. The cooktop remains cool to the touch which makes it safer to use and simpler for cleaning. They also heat water faster than a traditional kettle and use less energy. The AEG premium model is a popular choice in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It features four cooking zones each with its specific functions and the minute timer. It has a smooth surface that wipes clean with ease and is easy to operate by using the touch-sensitive control panels, however one small issue (which is typical for all induction hobs) is that the distribution of heat can be uneven; however, it is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction hob comes with a good five-year warranty and impressive eco ratings. It is a A+ rating for energy efficiency with the lowest energy consumption of just 700w for each cooking zone. The "Flux zone" feature allows you to move your pans around in the four zones and alter the power levels to fit the pans or pots you use, while the 'Power Boost' function increases the output by 50% for rapid boiling. The auto-shutoff function and the 'fryingSensor' feature, which helps to prevent overheating of your pan, are also useful features.

This is a fantastic low-cost induction hob that is easily wired and fitted to a brand new or existing worktop. The cooking zones can be operated independently and are identified with an arrow, cross or arrow to indicate the coil centre. There is also an electronic control panel that can be operated by touch. It features a large "Flux zone," which can accommodate larger pans and pots with ease and is pre-programmed to have power levels set in the front and middle zones as well as the rear. 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 simultaneously.

2. Gas Hobs

Gas hobs (or gas cooktops, if American) remain the best option for cooking in your kitchen. They are the best for boiling water, simmering sauces and soups cooking eggs and meats, frying them as well as pan-frying. Their popularity is due to their ability to rapidly and accurately produce high temperatures which makes them ideal for boiling and searing.

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to check the status of each burner at an instant. This is very helpful for security. It's much more difficult to forget to leave the burner on, or switch it on by accident as 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. However, it's apparent that there's no material that can stop spills and splashes completely, which is why you'll need to be vigilant about cleaning tasks to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 from fading over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy efficient than their counterparts induction, since they heat up more quickly and evenly, reducing electricity costs. This is especially true with vented hobs, which combine two appliances into one and eliminate the need for the Hood. This can free up space in your kitchen and create a sleeker appearance that will blend into any style of interior.

Many homeowners prefer gas hobs with freestanding design over built-in models due to their efficiency and convenience. They're simpler to install and offer more flexibility if you're looking to achieve a minimalistic look for your kitchen.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle that contains liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to provide an alternative energy source. This is a great option if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint. However, you'll need to find a suitable LPG boiler and stove before this option becomes a possibility for you. Additionally, these models will require a gas supply and ventilation and regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs for Sealed Plates

Induction hobs are the best hob option for those who want an energy-efficient, sleek appliance. These hobs are able to heat pots and pans by using electromagnetic fields, and the glass-ceramic surface stays cool. Induction hobs are safer (no accidental fire!) and more efficient as they use less power than their gas or electric counterparts. However, one disadvantage of induction hobs is that they are expensive to purchase. You'll require a set of induction-compatible cookware.

For those who don't want to invest in the latest induction technology, ceramic hobs can be a good alternative. These sleek and stylish hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic surface that has heating elements hidden underneath which makes them more attractive than solid plate hobs and easier to clean since there's no need to do difficult scrubbing. They heat up faster and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. They don't have the same efficiency as induction hobs. Therefore, they may not be a good choice if you are worried about your energy consumption.

Solid plate hobs are the best budget option, with a simple and reliable design that's perfect for cooking in the everyday. They're easy to heat up and are ideal for those who don't need a powerful cooktop, however they're not quick to cool down, which is why they're not the best hob uk choice for dynamic chefs who like to be multitasking. Solid plate hobs also emit a lot of residual heat, which means they're not as efficient like the other choices on this list.

We recommend that you look for reviews on websites of retailers when you're considering a solid-plate hob. This will not only give you an honest insight into the performance of the appliance and how it's used, but it can also help you to find the right model for your home. Customers have rated this Neff CSPHOBX15 Solid Plate Electric Hob from Currys high ratings and it's made of sturdy stainless steel. The black controls blend with other kitchen appliances and give it a minimalist and contemporary look.

4. Electric Hobs

Electric hobs offer the benefit of being energy-efficient. While gas hobs may be the preferred choice of many chefs due to their quick heating and control, they are also a popular choice because they provide instant heating. With modern electric ceramic and induction hobs that offer advanced cooking features, such as power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a great option for busy households.

When selecting an electric hob choose one that is sleek with touch controls, and no buttons or dials that stick out. This makes them easier to clean, especially when you choose flat surfaces that don't chip or scratch. For safety, choose models with child lock with hot indicators, as well as residual heat shut-offs to prevent accidents. If you're a smart home, go for digital displays that give you control of your hob remotely and also notifications via your smartphone, ensuring you can manage your hob with ease.

Think about a dual-fuel hob and oven that has both induction and gas burners for maximum flexibility. The FH-IC7020 from FUJIOH has both. It features intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones, and durable cast iron pan supports that support traditional gas cooking. There's also a timer function, which lets you set specific cooking times for your dishes so that they're ready when you need them and reduces the risk of overcooking and making food less tasty.

For added convenience, you may want an appliance that allows you to combine two cooking zones into one zone for pans of different dimensions and shapes. This will save space and is useful when cooking with large rectangular cooking vessels, like roasting pans. Some hobs have the option of adding induction plates or grills to provide additional cooking options.

There are cheap gas hobs starting at PS100 and higher-end models that cost upwards of PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic or induction hob from a big brand should cost not more than PS200. If you're looking for an elegant glass model, it shouldn't cost much either as there are some top options from own brands. Be aware that both induction and ceramic hobs need a specific supply with the appropriate cables and breakers to work so you'll have to have it installed by a qualified electrician.
