Induction hobs are also considered to be the most efficient cooking stove because they consume less power and produce no heat after use. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's best ovens and hobs to avoid using them near them.

We recommend you choose a premium induction hob with an extractor built-in. This will eliminate smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a wide selection of cooking tools. Select one with a dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left to accommodate larger pots.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a good option if you're looking for a sturdy hob that will repel hard-wearing staining. The coating is five times more durable than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains and chips. It is still recommended to use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to remove food residues that have been burned and avoid abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric hobs and ovens

Electric hobs are a crucial feature in modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are sleek and can easily be integrated into any décor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a perfect option for busy families.

Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that rises through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is on top of it. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use as they can be shut off when not in use.

However, it's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Some hobs are more advanced and include features such as an automatic safety shut-off as well as a digital display which clearly displays the power level and temperature, as well as cooking time. Some models come with an increase feature that increases the performance and speed of the appliance.

Electric hobs are also easier to clean because of their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters can be easily cleaned and your hob will remain in good condition for a longer time.
