How to Choose the Best Hobs
Hobs are an essential kitchen appliance but which one you pick will depend on your cooking preferences and your budget. Gas hobs heat up quickly and have precise temperature control, while electric hobs are less expensive but take a little longer to warm up.
Choose a model with dishwasher-proof pan supports to help with cleaning. It is recommended to choose a cooker that has nine power levels so that you can select the appropriate setting for your food.
3. CDA DH702Z Induction Hob
A well-designed hob is an essential kitchen accessory and there's a wide range of designs to pick from. But it's not all about fashion - the function of a kitchen appliance can make or break your cooking experience. No matter if you're an experienced cook or just beginning out, our range of CDA hobs have features that help alleviate stress from your mealtimes.
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs are a long-time favourite among cooks and chefs alike thanks to their instant, visible heat source and easy control. The heat is distributed more evenly, making cooking more enjoyable. Their efficiency is not as high as that of other hobs, and they can take longer to get hot. They also require professional installation, and a proper ventilation in the kitchen to remove smoke from the combustion.
Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)
Electric hobs utilize an induction plate to heat your cookware directly which means they're generally faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They produce fewer harmful emissions and are easier to clean. However they don't have the same flame-cooked charm and may be unsuitable for homes with children or with medical equipment like pacemakers.
The Siemens IQ-500 EP9A6SB90 is modern and sleek gas hob with five burners that offers plenty 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 user-friendly features, including an easy Quick Start function that shows which burner is lit on the display panel (and can be programmed to turn off at certain time intervals). You can also utilize the Pause-and-Start feature to stop cooking oven and then resume it later.
