How to Choose the Best Hobs

A hob is an essential kitchen appliance but which one you pick will depend on your cooking habits and your budget. Gas hobs are quick to heat up and offer precise temperature control. Electric hobs, on the other hand, are efficient, but they take longer to heat up.

Choose a model with dishwasher-safe pan supports that help with cleaning. It is recommended to choose a cooker that has nine different power levels so you can select the appropriate setting for your food.

3. CDA Induction Hob Hob

A well-designed hob is an essential kitchen appliance, and there are many different styles to choose from. But it's not all about design - the performance of a hob can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful cooking experience. If you're a seasoned cook or just beginning out, our range of CDA hobs have features that alleviate stress from your mealtimes.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs have been a favorite for a long time among cooks and chefs alike because of their instant visible heat source, as well as easy control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, making frying easier. However their efficiency isn't as efficient than other types of hobs and they may take longer to heat up. They also require professional installation and proper ventilation in the kitchen area to get rid of combustion fumes.

Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth Top)

Electric hobs use an induction plate to cookware directly, which means they're generally faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They emit less harmful emissions and are also easier to clean. They don't have that same flame-cooked appeal and may not be suitable for homes that have medical equipment like pacemakers or children.

The Siemens IQ-500 EP9A6SB90 is modern and sleek five-burner gas hob with oodles of space for all manner of pots and pans including a wok burner that is perfect for stir fries and other Asian-inspired dishes. It's got a myriad of features that are user-friendly, such as a handy Quick Start function that shows the burning source on the display panel (and can be programmed to shut it off at certain times). There's also a pause and start feature that allows you to temporarily stop the cooking process and then resume after.
