The Best Hobs

Hobs are available in a variety of sizes and materials. The best ovens and hobs uk hobs are durable, stylish and easy to clean.

Our experts recommend gas hobs for their precise flame control and flexibility. Electric models are more efficient and are easier to clean. Look for features such as power boost and timer that allow you to increase the heat quickly to speed up cooking.

1. Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are an innovative and efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking space as gas hobs do, they use magnetic technology to heat the copper coils beneath the pans. The cooktop stays cool to touch which makes it safer to use and easier for cleaning. They boil water faster than kettles and require less power. They're now a common kitchen appliance in the HelloFresh test kitchen, and we love this sleek, premium model from AEG which comes with four cooking zones with individually controlled functions and an easy-to-use minute reminder. It has a smooth surface that wipes clean with ease and is easy to use using the touch control panels, however one minor gripe (which is typical for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be patchy; however this is only really noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction hob comes with a five-year warranty and impressive eco ratings. It is a A+ rating for energy efficiency and the lowest power consumption of just 775 watts per cooking zone. The "Flux Zone" feature lets you to move your pans between the four zones and adjust the power levels to suit the size of your saucepans or pots. Additionally, the "Power booster" function boosts the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds the boiling process. Other useful features include an auto-shut off function as well as a 'fryingSensor' that prevents your cooking pan from overheating so you never have to worry about burnt food.

This is an induction cooktop with a low price tag that can be hardwired to a worktop or new one. The cooking zones can be controlled separately and are marked with an arrow or cross to indicate the coil's centre. There's also a touch-control panel. It has a large 'Flux zone', which can accommodate larger pans and pots easily and is pre-programmed so that you have power levels that are set in the front and middle zones as well as the rear. This is an excellent option for cooking using a variety of pans of different dimensions and shapes that require to be heated up, simmered at the same time, and kept warm.

2. Gas Hobs

Gas hobs (or gas cooktops, if American) remain the most efficient option for cooking in your kitchen. They are the best choice for boiling water, simmering soups and sauces, frying eggs and pan-frying meats. Their popularity stems from their ability to produce high temperatures quickly and precisely, making them perfect for boiling and searing.

The visual flame indicator allows you to see the status of each burner at glance. This is very helpful for safety. It's much harder to forget about leaving the burner on, or switch it off accidentally as it is with an electric hob.

Most models have a flat, smooth surface that makes them less difficult to maintain than their ceramic counterparts. That said, it seems that there's no material that could keep out spills and splashes completely, so you'll need to keep on top of cleaning tasks to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 from fading over time.

Gas hobs can also be more energy-efficient than their induction counterparts, as they heat up more quickly and evenly, saving on electricity costs. This is especially true with vented hobs, which combine two appliances and eliminate the requirement for an grill. This will save the space in your kitchen as well as resulting in a sleeker design that will be able to blend in with any style of interior.

Because of their effectiveness and their ease of use, a lot of home owners prefer to go for freestanding gas hobs rather than built-in versions. They're simpler to install and offer more flexibility if you're looking to create a minimalist look for your kitchen.

Another advantage of choosing freestanding models is the possibility of connecting it to a bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG), which provides an alternative energy source if you're looking for a greener option. You'll have to find an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you can consider this alternative. These models require gas supply, ventilation, and regular maintenance to ensure that there are no leaks.

3. Sealed Plate Hobs

These hobs are able to heat pots and pans by using electromagnetic fields, and the glass-ceramic surface remains cool. This makes induction hobs safer (no accidental burns!) Induction hobs are safer (no accidental burns!) and more efficient because they consume less energy than their gas or electrical counterparts. Induction hobs are expensive and you'll have to invest in kitchen appliances that are compatible with induction.

Ceramic hobs are a great option for those who don't want to invest in the Induction technology. These stylish and sleek hobs have a smooth, glass-ceramic surface that has heating elements that are hidden beneath which makes them more aesthetically pleasing than solid plate hobs and easier to clean as there's no need for a complicated scrubbing. Additionally, they 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 regards energy efficiency, so if you're conscious of your energy consumption this might not be the right choice for you.

Finally, solid plate hobs are the budget option, with a straightforward and durable design that is perfect for everyday cooking. They're quick to warm up, which makes them a great choice for those who don't require a large cooktop. However, they may take ages to cool down. Solid plate hobs also give off lots of heat, so they're not as energy-efficient like the other options on this list.

We suggest that you search for reviews on the websites of retailers in the event that you are thinking about a solid-plate hob. This will not only provide you with an honest view into the performance of the appliance however, it will also help you to find the right model for your home. For example, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate hob uk from Currys is highly rated by customers and is made of durable stainless steel. The black controls blend in with other kitchen appliances with a sleek and contemporary look.

4. Electric Hobs

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

Choose an electric hob that has a streamlined design with control buttons that are touch-sensitive. Avoid those with dials or buttons that are protruding. They are more easy to clean when they have a smooth 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 stop accidents. If you have a smart-connected home, you may opt for a digital display which lets you manage your hob from afar and receive notifications on your smartphone.

For maximum flexibility, think about a dual fuel stove that has induction and gas burners. The FH-IC7020 from FUJIOH has both. It has intuitive touchscreen controls for induction zones, and durable cast iron pan supports that accommodate traditional gas cooking. The timer feature allows you to set specific cooking times so that your food is ready at the time you require it. This reduces the risk of overcooking, and makes your food less flavorful.

Additionally, for greater convenience, you might want an appliance that allows you to merge two cooking zones into a single zone for pans of varying dimensions and shapes. This can help save space and is ideal when cooking with large rectangular cooking vessels such as roasting pans. Additionally, some stoves offer the option to add induction plates or teppanyaki grills for extra cooking options.

Gas hobs and ovens can be found in various costs, from as little as PS100 to premium models costing up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic stove or induction model from a major brand will not cost more than PS200. If you're looking for a stylish glass model, it shouldn't break the bank either as there are some excellent own-brand options. Remember that ceramic and induction hobs require a special supply with the correct cables and breakers to function, which means you will need to have it installed by an electrician.
