How to Choose the Best Hobs
A hob is an essential kitchen appliance but which one you choose depends on your cooking preferences and your budget. Gas hobs heat up quickly and provide precise temperature control, whereas electric hobs are less expensive but take a little longer to warm up.
To make cleaning simpler choose models with dishwasher-proof supports. Ideally, you'll want a hob that offers nine power levels so that you can choose the best setting for your food.

There are many styles of hobs to choose from. However, it's not just about fashion - the function of a kitchen appliance can determine the quality of your cooking experience. Our CDA range of hobs includes features that will allow you relax and enjoy your mealtimes, whether you are an experienced chef or just starting out.
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs have been a favourite of cooks and amateurs for many years, thanks to their visible heat and ease of control. The heat is distributed more evenly, making cooking easier. However their efficiency isn't as high as other hobs and they may take longer to get hot. They also require professional installation, and a proper ventilation in the kitchen to remove combustion fumes.
Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)
Electric hobs heat your cookware using an induction plate that is typically faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They produce less harmful emissions and are easier to clean. However, oven hob ovensandhobs don't have the same appeal of flame-cooked cooking and could be incompatible with homes that have children or those that have medical equipment like pacemakers.
The Siemens IQ-500 EP9A6SB90 is a sleek and modern five-burner gas hob with oodles of space to accommodate all kinds of pots and pans, including a wok burner that is perfect for stir fries and other Asian-inspired dishes.

You can also use the pause-and-start feature to temporarily stop cooking and resume it later.
