Hobs can be found in various sizes and materials. The best hobs are durable and stylish, as well as easy to clean.

Gas hobs are the preferred choice of our experts due to their versatility and precise control of flames. However, electric hobs can provide superior energy efficiency and are easier to clean. You can accelerate the cooking process with features like power boosts and a timer.

1. Hobs induction

Induction hobs are an innovative and efficient alternative to traditional ceramic or gas models. Instead of heating up the entire cooking area as gas hobs do, they use magnet technology to heat the copper coils that are beneath the pans. This means the cooktop itself remains cool to the surface and is more secure to use and easier to clean. They can boil water faster than kettles and require less energy. They're now a standard kitchen appliance in HelloFresh's test kitchen, and we are in love with this elegant, premium model from AEG which boasts four cooking zones, each with its own controlled functions and an easy-to-use minute timer. It is smooth and can be cleaned easily and is easy to operate using the touch control panels, but one minor issue (which is typical for all induction hobs) is that the distribution of heat may be uneven; however, it is only noticeable when stirring-frying.

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

This is an induction hob with a reasonable price that can be hardwired to a worktop or a new one. The cooking zones can be controlled independently and are marked with an arrow, cross or arrow to indicate the coil's centre. There is also a touch-control panel. It has a wide 'Flux zone', which can accommodate larger pots and pans with ease and is pre-programmed to have set power levels in the front and back zones. This is a great choice when cooking with a variety of pans, all different dimensions and shapes that require to be heated up and simmered at the same time, and then kept warm.

2. Gas Hobs

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

The flame indicator's visual display makes it easy to check the status of each burner at an instant. This is extremely useful for safety. With an electric hob, it's harder to accidentally switch on an appliance or forget it was on.

Most models have a flat surface that makes them easier to maintain than their ceramic counterparts. However, it's apparent that there's nothing that can fend off splashes and spillages completely, which is why you'll need to keep on top of cleaning duties to prevent the Neff T27DS59N0 from fading over time.

Gas hobs are also more energy efficient than induction cousins because they heat up faster and more evenly, which reduces the cost of electricity. This is particularly true for vented stoves, which incorporate the two appliances into one and eliminate the requirement for vent hoods. This will save space in your kitchen and create an elegant look that can be a perfect fit with any interior style.

Many homeowners prefer freestanding gas hobs to built-in models because of their efficiency and convenience. They are simpler to set up and provide more flexibility when you are looking to achieve a minimalist kitchen designs.

A freestanding model can be connected to a bottle containing liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to provide a different source of energy. This is a great option if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint. You'll have to find an LPG stove and boiler you like before you look into this option. In addition, these models require a gas supply and ventilation and regular maintenance to ensure there aren't any leaks.

3. Hobs with Sealed Plates

They use electromagnetic fields to heat your pans and pots directly, while the flat glass-ceramic surface of the hob stays cool. Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental fire!) Induction hobs are more secure (no accidental burns!) and more efficient because they consume less energy than their electrical or gas counterparts. However, one disadvantage of induction hobs is that they are expensive to purchase. In addition, you'll require a set of induction-compatible cookware.

If you don't wish to invest in ceramic hobs, induction hobs are a great middle ground. These stylish and sleek hobs are smooth, glass-ceramic surface that has heating elements that are hidden beneath that make them more aesthetically pleasing than solid plate hobs. They're also easier to clean since there's no need for complicated scrubbing. They are more efficient in heating and are more responsive than solid-plate hobs. However, they are behind induction hobs when comes to energy efficiency, so if you're conscious of your energy use this might not be the best choice for you.

Finally, Hobs and ovens solid plate hobs are a good budget option, with a simple and sturdy design that's ideal for cooking in the everyday. They are easy to heat up, making them an ideal choice for those who do not require a large cooktop. However, they can take ages to cool down. Solid plate hobs are not as efficient in energy as other alternatives.

If you're thinking about buying a solid plate hob, we recommend looking for one that has been rated by customers on retailers websites.

Although gas hobs might be the preferred choice of many chefs due to their instant heating and ease of control, they are also popular because they are quick to warmth. Modern electric ceramic and induction stoves have sophisticated cooking functions, such as power boost settings and temperature control. They're a great choice for busy households.

When choosing an electric hob, look for one that has a sleek design with touch controls and without dials or buttons hanging out. This makes them easy to clean, especially when you select a flat surface that won't chip or scratch. Make sure you choose a model that comes with child locks, hot indicator lights, and residual heat shutoffs to avoid accidents. If you have a smart-connected home, you may want to choose a digital display which lets you control your stove remotely and also receive notifications from your smartphone.

Consider a dual-fuel hob that comes with both induction and gas burners for maximum flexibility. The FUJIOH FH-IC7020 hybrid cooktop comes with both, and has intuitive touchscreen controls for the induction zones and durable cast iron pan supports for traditional gas cooking. The timer function allows you to set certain cooking times so that your food is cooked when you require it. This reduces the risk of overcooking, and makes your food less delicious.

For added convenience, you might want an appliance that allows you to join two cooking zones into a single zone for pans of different dimensions and shapes. This will save space and is useful for those who cook frequently with large rectangular cooking dishes, like roasting pans. Additionally, some stoves offer the option to add induction plates or teppanyaki grills as additional cooking options.
