Best Induction Hobs

The culinary possibilities are endless with this stylish electric hob from Hisense. It has 4 induction zones that use electromagnets to directly target the base of your pans, rather than the whole surface - making sure that no energy is wasted. It’s also got pan detection technology, so it will only warm up when it senses cookware on top, so it’s super-safe. Plus, the handy residual heat indicator lights up when it’s too hot to touch, and will automatically turn off when it’s cool enough to be wiped down. And, if you’re cooking with a larger dish, this model’s bridge zones let you alter the layout or even combine zones to fit larger pots.

Whether you’re a devoted foodie or a complete novice, this induction hob from Indesit is sure to inspire you to get creative in the kitchen. This 4 zone induction model is really energy-efficient, as special electromagnets target the base of your pans instead of heating the whole surface. It also uses clever sensors to detect when a pan is on the hob, and only then will it start to get hot – meaning you’re less likely to accidentally burn yourself. There’s even a boost mode that’ll give you an intense burst of heat, which is super-handy if you need to get cooking straight away. And because the touch controls are easy to use, you’ll have no trouble adjusting the settings either.

Impress your dinner date with this sleek AEG induction hob. It has 4 zones, where electromagnets warm the base of your pans rather than the whole surface, for efficient cooking. It also has clever pan detection technology, which means it’ll only start working once it recognises a pan on top, making it safer as well. Plus, if you’ve spent too long sautéing the onions and you need to get the lobster boiling fast, the AutoMax function will quickly heat the hob – so you’ll be right on time for the doorbell. And if you have a compatible cooker hood, just link it up with this model via infrared and it’ll automatically adjust the power for you if your ingredients are getting a little smoky.

Treat yourself to the new Delia Smith recipe book and put it to the test with this Whirlpool electric hob. Its 4 zones provide more than enough space to pan-fry salmon, steam vegetables and simmer a tasty hollandaise sauce at the same time. It comes with pan detection technology too, and because this only sends heat once it recognises one on top, it’s really safe to use. Plus, if your fishy fillet is busy smoking away, 6th Sense Technology uses sensors to automatically adjust the settings if needed. This means you’ll get beautifully cooked food every evening, and you can wave goodbye to over-done dishes. And, thanks to the Boost Mode, which gives an extra burst of power, you’ll never be waiting long for boiling water.

With the sleek, seamless design you expect from Samsung, this black induction hob will look really stylish on your kitchen worktop.

And you’ll always have peace of mind thanks to the auto shut off feature which turns off any zones that have been left on too long.
