A basic ceramic electric hob can cost as little as PS100. However you'll have to pay more for one with numerous features. Gas hobs, which are also well-known and offer excellent temperature control, but are more expensive, are another option.
1. Haier I-Flex Induction Hob
With four cooking zones and three functions called 'Push&Go', this cooker from Haier can assist you in making quick meals. It was also one of the most efficient on test to boil water, taking just under four minutes. It has a child lock and pause function so you can stop the process swiftly without having to mess with controls.
Its style is sleek and modern and blends well with contemporary kitchens. It is usually made of glass (shatterproof and ovens and hobs uk heatproof) or ceramic, and has controls that are flush with the worktop to make it easy to use.
The controls are easy to use, and we appreciated the clear display that tells you the current power setting, and which of the five zones are active.

Safety features such as the hot hob light and automatic shutoff are useful.
It's not as responsive as other hobs we tested in this test. We observed that it took nine presses on the control to reach the highest temperature, as opposed to seven or hob six on other models. It takes a bit longer for the pan to react to changes in temperature. You may need to adjust the settings a few times to achieve the correct temperature.
This 60 cm model includes four cooking zones, including a half-flex area where two areas can be joined together to accommodate larger pots and pans. Dual-ring design permits it to operate on both "normal" and "boost" power levels. It is perfect for cooking meat, searing it or bringing pans of water to the rapid boil.

2. Smeg I-Flex Induction Hob
When you're doing work in your kitchen, or looking for an alternative to gas induction hobs, induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular. Prices have slashed dramatically over the past few years. Basic four-zone models are now available at less than PS100. If you're looking for the latest induction technology, it's worth the extra cost.
This sleek model from Smeg comes with the most advanced induction technology to make cooking more efficient and convenient. The Auto-pot detection system detects pots that have a diameter of at least 9 centimetres and automatically will activate the appropriate zone.
Smeg's main focus is on energy efficiency, but it doesn't ignore the flexibility of this appliance - it can be adjusted to save energy based on the highest operating temperatures of the zones. There are other options to save energy using the Eco-Logic advance mode, which reduces the power output from 11.1 kW to as little as 2.4 4 kW.
Testers were awed by this hob's user-friendly interface with easy-to-use controls that move along the edges of the hob, allowing it to follow the pan. The control panel's colour scheme lets you quickly see the operating status of each zone, while the Flexi Duo function allows you to connect two zones to accommodate larger pots. There are many useful features, including four cooking presets that automatically cook (melting boiling, melting, slow cooking and keeping warm) and a Power Boost for super-quick results.
In addition, the hob uk has a 'FlameSensor' which alerts you of any danger of a fire or food that has been burned. There are also several safety features, including a residual heat indicator as well as an automatic shut-off when the surface gets too hot.
It is also resistant to tough stains, and has an anti-smudge coating called CleanProtect. The hob is simple to install and features nine power levels and a handy 'FlexiDuo' feature that allows catering for large pans. There are also a number of bonus features, including locking controls and a safety fuse in the event of accidental button pushing.
3. Indesit I-Flex Induction Hob
Powered by electricity rather than gas, hob induction stoves utilize copper plates that create a magnetic field when the pan is set on the top. This means they can heat up more quickly than gas hobs. They can also reduce energy consumption since the cooking area only is heated when you turn on a pan. They are generally less expensive to operate than gas, and they are also less difficult to clean.
Indesit's induction stove is packed full of features that will allow you to be creative when cooking. It has two cooking zones that can be combined to create an Integrated Zone for larger pots and an accelerated Booster zone to bring water to a boiling point quickly. Push&Go, for example, allows you to cook perfectly by pressing a button. The controls are simple to operate and allow you to select nine power modes including a P boost setting which gives the highest power for each zone for five minutes.
The controls are simple to use, and the minimalist design is ideal for a modern kitchen. In our tests, it was able to boil pasta water in a flash and quickly heated up when we put an oven on the Booster zone. However it took some time to cool off after we shut off the hob. Additionally, our test participants were unable to see the exact temperatures on the control panel.
This Indesit hob also has a bridge function, which allows you to combine two cooking zones for larger pans. It also has a child lock and an overheating block as well as an automatic shut-off mechanism that stops the hob from working if it gets too hot. Our test participants were impressed that there weren't any visible flames or flammable substances and the glass was easy to wipe clean. In contrast to traditional extractor hoods, vented hobs and ovens draw steam and smoke away from the pan and out of the room through a duct in the surface. Our experts thought the duct on this hob was easy to keep clean, although it required two people to lift the filter out and change it.
4. GE Induction Hob
Consider how the hob can fit into your kitchen's layout and design, as well as what your cooking style. Induction hobs are a great option if you cook with children or the elderly in mind. They come with safety features such as automatic shut-offs as well as a cool-to-touch surface. For those who value speed and efficiency using a ceramic glass facia on an electric hob is the best ovens and hobs option. If you live in areas that are prone to load-shedding, the ability to use gas hobs in power cuts may tilt the balance in favor of a gas model.
