The best ovens uk Hobs

Hobs are available in different sizes and materials. The most durable hobs are sturdy and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Our experts favour gas hobs because of their precise flame control and versatility. Electric models are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean. Look for features like a timer or power boost which allow you to boost the heat quickly to increase the speed of cooking.

1. Induction Hobs

Induction hobs provide a contemporary efficient alternative to traditional gas or ceramic models. Instead of heating the entire cooking area as gas hobs do they employ magnetic technology to heat up the copper coils below the pans. This means the cooktop itself remains cool to the touch oven and hob is more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than kettles and use less energy. The AEG premium model is a favourite in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It comes with four cooking zones each with its specific functions and the minute minder. It has a smooth surface that is easy to clean and is easy to use with the touch control panels, however one minor gripe (which is common for all induction hobs) is that the heat distribution can be uneven; however, this is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

The AEG induction hob comes with a five-year guarantee and impressive eco ratings. It is a A+ rating for energy efficiency with the lowest energy consumption of just 775 watts per cooking zone. The 'Flux Zone' feature allows the pans to be moved between the four zones, and adjust the power levels to suit your pots or Meal prep saucepans. In addition, the "Power booster" function increases the output of the hob by 50%, which speeds up boiling. Other handy features include an auto-shutoff function as well as an 'fryingSensor' to prevent your pan from overheating, so you don't have to worry about burning food.

This is a budget-friendly induction hob that can be easily wired and fitted to a new or existing worktop. The cooking zones can be operated independently and are identified by the ring or cross to indicate the center of the coil. There's also a touch-control panel. It has a wide "Flux zone," which can accommodate larger pots and pans effortlessly and is pre-programmed so that you have power levels that are set in the front, middle and rear zones. This is great if you regularly cook with a variety of sizes or shaped pans that have to be brought to a boil, simmered and kept warm at the same time.

2. Gas Hobs

Gas hobs (or gas cooktops if you're American) are the most efficient option to cook in your kitchen. They are the best for boiling water simmering soups and sauces cooking eggs and meats, frying them as well as pan-frying. Their popularity is due to their ability to generate high levels of heat quickly and precisely, making them ideal for boiling and searing.

The visual flame indicator makes it easy to determine the status of each burner at an instant. This is extremely useful for security. With an electric hob, it's harder to accidentally turn on the burner or forget that it was on.

The majority of models are also constructed with a flat surface which makes them easier to clean than ceramic counterparts. There is no material that can shield the Neff T27DS59N0 against splashes or spills. You'll need to be cautious when cleaning to avoid the Neff T27DS59N0 from getting stained over time.

Gas hobs are also more efficient in energy than their induction cousins because they heat up more quickly and more evenly, reducing energy costs. This is particularly true with vented hobs that combine two appliances and eliminate the need for a grill. This will save the space in your kitchen as well as resulting in an elegant design that can be able to blend in with any style of interior.

Many homeowners prefer freestanding gas hobs to built-in models because of their effectiveness and ease of use. They are more straightforward to install and offer more flexibility when you want to create a minimalist design for your kitchen.

Another benefit of going for a freestanding model is the possibility of connecting it to the bottle of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which can be an alternative energy source if you're looking for a more sustainable alternative. You'll have to find an LPG stove and boiler that you like before you can consider this alternative. Additionally, these models will require a gas supply and ventilation, as well as regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

Induction hobs are the best choice if you're looking for a sleek, energy-efficient appliance. These hobs cook pots and pans with electromagnetic fields, while the glass-ceramic surface stays cool. Induction hobs are safer (no accidental fire!) and more efficient, since they use less electricity than their electric or gas counterparts. However, the drawback of induction hobs is that they can be expensive to purchase. In addition, you'll have to purchase an induction-compatible set of cookware.

If you don't want to invest in the latest induction technology, ceramic hobs offer a good middle ground. These stylish and sleek hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic finish with heating elements hidden underneath which makes them more attractive than solid plate hobs and easier to clean since there's no need for a complicated cleaning. They also heat up 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 you're conscious of your energy usage this might not be the best option for you.

Solid plate hobs, a affordable option, with their simple and reliable design, are great for cooking at home. They're quick to heat up, making them a good option for those who don't need a powerful cooktop. However, they do take a long time to cool. Solid plate hobs are not as efficient in energy as other alternatives.

If you're considering a solid plate hob, we recommend choosing one that has been reviewed by customers on retailer websites. This will not only give you an honest insight into the performance of the appliance, but it will aid you in finding the right model for your home. For example, this Neff CSPHOBX15 Electric Solid Plate Hob from Currys has been highly rated by customers and is finished in durable stainless steel. The black controls go well with other kitchen appliances, giving it a sleek and modern appearance.

4. Electric Hobs

While gas hobs are the preferred option for cooks due to their rapid heat and simple control, electric hobs have the advantage of being more energy efficient. With modern electric ceramic and induction stoves that come with advanced cooking functions, including power boost settings and precise temperature control, they're a great option for busy households.

Choose an electric hob that has sleek design and touchscreen controls. Avoid those with dials or buttons that protrude. 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 and hot indicator lights and residual heat shutoffs to avoid accidents. And, if you have a smart home, go for an electronic display that gives you remote control and notifications via your smartphone, so you can control your hob with ease.

To maximize flexibility, think about a dual fuel hob with induction and gas burners. The FH-IC7020 hybrid stove comes with both, and has intuitive touchscreen controls for the induction zones and sturdy cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. It also has a timer feature that allows you to set specific cooking times for dishes so they're ready for use when needed which reduces the chance of overcooking and making food less delicious.

For added convenience, a model with two separate cooking pans of different sizes and shapes may be the best choice. This can save space and can be beneficial when cooking with large rectangular vessels like roasting pans. Some hobs also offer the option of adding induction plates or grills to provide additional cooking options.

Gas hobs can be found in various prices, ranging from as low as PS100 to top-of-the-line models that cost up to PS1,000. A basic four-zone ceramic hob or induction model from a major brand shouldn't cost more than PS200. If you prefer glass there are a variety of excellent options from own-brand manufacturers. But, keep in mind that both ceramic and induction hobs require a particular supply that is plugged in with the correct breakers and cables so you'll need to get it installed by a certified electrician.
