How to Choose the best hobs (ovensandhobs.uk)
A hob is an essential kitchen appliance but which one you pick is contingent on your cooking preferences and budget. Gas hobs are quick to heat up and offer precise temperature control. Electric hobs, on the other hand, are economical, but take longer to warm up.
Look for a model with dishwasher-proof pan supports to simplify cleaning. Ideally, you’ll want a cooker that has nine different power levels so you can select the appropriate setting for your food.

Gas Hobs
Gas hobs have been a favourite of chefs and amateurs for many years due to their visible heat and easy control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, making frying easier. However their efficiency isn’t as high 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 use an induction plate to heat your cookware directly, which means they’re generally faster and more efficient than traditional gas hobs. They don’t produce any harmful emissions and are easy to clean. However they don’t have the similar flame-cooked appeal and may be unsuitable for homes with children or with medical equipment like pacemakers.
The Siemens IQ500 EP9A6SB90 gas hob is sleek and modern design with five burners. It has plenty of room for pots and pans. There’s even a wok burner that can be used to cook stir-fries as well as other Asian dishes. It has a variety of user-friendly functions, including the Quick Start feature that shows on the display panel which burner is on (and can also be programmed to shut off at specific times). There’s also a pause and start feature that allows you to stop temporarily cooking and resume after.
