If you are looking for a new hob, it can be quite difficult to determine which one suits your cooking style and kitchen best. With us you will find hobs from top brands such as AEG , Bosch , Siemens and Whirlpool . In this blog we will take you through the different types of hobs: ceramic, gas and induction, so that you can make a well-considered choice.
1. Ceramic hobs
Ceramic hobs have been popular for years and are a good middle ground between traditional gas hobs and modern induction hobs. These hobs work on electricity and heat the cooking zones via infrared radiation. They are easy to clean thanks to the smooth glass surface and have a sleek, modern design.
Advantages of ceramic hobs:
- Easy to clean
- Modern appearance
- Cheaper to purchase than induction
Disadvantages:
- Slower heating time
- Less energy efficient than induction
Brands such as AEG , Bosch and Whirlpool offer ceramic hobs with various functionalities, such as residual heat indicators and multiple cooking zones.
2. Gas hobs
For many home chefs, the classic gas hob remains a favourite. The direct flame makes it easy to control the temperature precisely. Gas hobs operate on natural gas or butane gas and are perfect for those who enjoy an authentic cooking experience. They also fit well in both modern and traditional kitchens.
Advantages of gas hobs:
- Direct control over the heat
- Suitable for all types of pans
- Traditional cooking experience
Disadvantages:
- More difficult to clean
- Less energy efficient than induction or ceramic
Brands such as Siemens , Beko and Elica offer quality gas hobs with automatic ignition and safety systems, so you can cook with peace of mind.
3. Induction hobs
Induction hobs are the latest trend in cooking and are quickly gaining popularity. These hobs work via electromagnetic radiation, where the pan is heated directly instead of the hob itself. This ensures a fast heating time and makes them very energy efficient. Induction hobs are also extremely safe because the hob remains cool when there is no pan on it.
Advantages of induction hobs:
- Heats up very quickly
- Energy efficient
- Safe and easy to clean
Disadvantages:
- Requires pans that are suitable for induction
- Higher purchase price
With brands such as AEG , Siemens and Whirlpool, we offer induction hobs that have smart functions such as booster settings for extra fast cooking and pan recognition for maximum safety.
Which hob do you choose?
Your choice depends on your cooking style, budget and the level of ease of use you are looking for. If you like to cook traditionally and have a gas connection, a gas hob is perfect for you. If you prefer a modern look with ease of use, a ceramic hob is a good choice. For the ultimate cooking experience with speed and efficiency, an induction hob is ideal.
