How to Choose the Best Hobs

Hobs are an essential kitchen appliance but which one you pick is contingent on your cooking preferences and budget. Gas hobs heat up quickly and have precise temperature control, while electric hobs are more affordable but take a little longer to warm up.

Choose a model with pan supports that are dishwasher-safe to make cleaning effortless. Also, you'll need a stove with nine power settings so you can choose the best setting for your food.

3. CDA DH702Z Induction Hob

There are many styles of hobs available. But it's not all about style - the functionality of a kitchen appliance can make or break your cooking experience. Our CDA range of hobs comes with features that will help you relax and enjoy your meals, whether you are an experienced chef or just beginning your journey.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a popular choice among cooks and chefs alike thanks to their instant visible heat source and easy control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, making cooking easier. However their efficiency isn't as efficient as other types of hob and they may take longer to warm up. Additionally, they require expert installation and proper kitchen ventilation to remove smoke from combustion.

Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)

Electric hobs utilize an induction plate to cookware directly, therefore they're typically faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They emit less harmful emissions and are also easier to clean. However they don't have the same appeal of flame-cooked cooking and could not be suitable for homes with children or those that have medical equipment like pacemakers.

The Siemens IQ-500 EP9A6SB90 is modern and sleek gas hob that has five burners and plenty of space for all manner of pans and pots, including a wok burner that is perfect to cook stir-fries and other Asian-inspired dishes. It comes with a number of functions that are user-friendly, such as the Quick Start feature that shows on the display panel which burner is lit (and can be programmed to shut it off at certain times). You can also utilize the Pause-and-Start feature to stop cooking and then resume it later.
