There are a few things to consider when buying a new hob. There’s the type of heating system (electric, induction, ceramic or gas), the size, surfaces, energy efficiency and a whole range of innovative features to choose from. To help you decide, this guide answers the most common questions.
It depends on what you value most—price, performance, or style. Standard electrical hobs are the most affordable option and are also available in more stylish ceramic versions. Electrical induction hobs offer a similarly impressive look with fast and efficient heating, while gas hobs provide the best cooking performance all around.
Hobs range in width from small (35cm dominos) to extra-large (80cm). The size you need depends on how much space is available in your kitchen and your cooking habits. However, if you already have an extractor hood installed, choose a hob that is the same size or slightly smaller.
There are two types of surfaces for gas hobs: tempered glass / ceramic and stainless steel.
There are a range of frames and mounting styles to choose from with electrical and induction hobs.
These are additional heating zones that increase the total cooking area available when needed. For example, when using a large pot that extends beyond the standard induction zones.
Induction hobs are the most energy efficient electrical cooking appliances. However, gas hobs have a lower running cost since gas is cheaper than electricity.
For a more energy-efficient induction hob, powerMove Plus separates your hob into three different heat zones. They’re only activated when your pans are placed on them, and you can adjust power levels simply by moving the cookware onto a different zone.
If you’re looking for an energy-efficient gas hob, stepFlame technology lets you adjust the flames on your hob in nine precise steps. So, you get exactly the heat you need, without wasting energy.
