How to Choose the Best Hobs
A hob is a must-have kitchen appliance, but which you choose depends on your cooking style and budget. Gas hobs warm up quickly and provide precise temperature control, whereas electric hobs are more cost effective but take a little longer to warm up.
Choose a model with pan supports that are dishwasher-safe to help with cleaning. You'll also need a hob with nine power settings so you can choose the best setting for your food.

There are many styles of hobs available. It's not just about style but the function of your hob can make or break your cooking experience. No matter if you're an experienced cook or just beginning out, our range of CDA hobs are equipped with features that help ease the burden of your mealtimes.
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs have been the preferred choice of chefs and amateurs for many years, thanks to their visible heat and easy control. They also tend to distribute the heat more evenly, making cooking easier. However their efficiency isn't as efficient as other types of hob and they can be slower to warm up. They also require professional installation and proper ventilation in the kitchen to eliminate combustion fumes.
Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)
Electric hobs heat up your cookware by using an induction plate that is usually faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They don't create the same amount of harmful emissions and are easy to clean. They don't have that same flame-cooked look and feel, and might not be suitable for homes with medical equipment such as pacemakers or children.
The Siemens IQ500 EP9A6SB90 Gas Hob is sleek and modern design that has five burners. It's got plenty of room for pots and pans. There's even a wok burner to cook stir-fries and other Asian dishes. It comes with a number of features that are easy to use, including the Quick Start feature that shows on the display panel which burner is on (and can be programmed to shut off at specific time intervals). There's also a pause and start feature that allows you to stop temporarily the cooking process and then resume after.
