How to Choose the Best Hobs
The hob is a kitchen essential however, the one you choose will be based on your cooking preferences and your budget. Gas hobs are quick to heat up and provide precise temperature control, while electric hobs are more cost effective but take a bit longer to warm up.
To make cleaning easier make sure you choose models with dishwasher-proof supports. You'll also need a hob with nine power settings so that you can choose the ideal setting for your food.
3. CDA DH702Z Induction Hob
A quality hob is an essential kitchen accessory, and there are many different designs to pick from. However, it's not just about style - the functionality of a kitchen appliance can determine the quality of your cooking experience. Whether you're an experienced cook or just beginning out our selection of CDA hobs are equipped with features that take the stress out of your mealtimes.
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs are a long-time favourite among cooks and chefs alike due to their quick visible heat source, as well as easy control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, making cooking more enjoyable. However their efficiency isn't as efficient than other types of hobs and they can be slower to heat up. They also require professional installation and need adequate ventilation in the kitchen to eliminate the fumes from combustion.
Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth Top)
Electric hobs heat up your cookware by using an induction plate, which is typically faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They don't produce as many harmful emissions and are simple to clean. However they don't have that same flame-cooked charm and may not be suitable for homes with children or with oven with hob medical equipment like pacemakers.

It also has a pausing and starting feature to temporarily stop cooking and then resume it later.
