Hobs

Discover our hobs for modern kitchens

Whether you have an open-plan kitchen, a compact city flat or a busy family home, your hob needs to work for you. At IKEA, you’ll find induction and glass-ceramic hobs with clean Scandinavian design and straightforward controls. Booster functions help you heat up quickly, and models with integrated extraction can help keep the air fresher. If you’re after something energy-efficient and fast, induction is hard to beat. Prefer a classic look that’s easy to clean and made for everyday use? Glass-ceramic is a great choice. Pair your hob with a matching oven, kitchen cabinets or clever accessories from IKEA and your kitchen works better for you.

What our hobs have to offer – key features and benefits (depending on the model):

• Energy efficiency: Induction hobs transfer heat directly into the base of the pan, saving energy and being kinder to your household budget
• Speed: Induction cooking is fast and precise, saving time and electricity
• Safety: With induction, the surface doesn’t heat up in the same way as a traditional hob (though it can still get warm from hot cookware)
• Boil-over protection: Some models can detect spills on the controls and switch off automatically
• Child safety lock: Built-in safety features help reduce the risk of accidents, especially in family homes
• Comfort functions: Booster functions deliver intense heat quickly, bridge functions join two zones into one larger cooking area and flexible zones adapt to your cookware
• Innovative models: Hobs with integrated extraction free up space above the hob, while portable induction hobs can be handy for smaller kitchens or cooking away from home

Are induction hobs modern, fast and safe?

Induction hobs have a lot going for them. But how do they actually work? Inside the hob, a set of coils generates an electromagnetic field the moment you switch it on. Put induction-compatible cookware on top and it turns that energy straight into heat, fast. Less waiting, less energy wasted and better for your budget and the environment. And because the surface itself stays cooler until a compatible pan is on it, it’s safer too. Just bear in mind it can still get warm from a hot pan or pot sitting on it.

Where can I find versatile hobs for my kitchen?

The hob is the heart of many kitchens, where meals come together day to day. At IKEA, you can choose from flexible solutions that fit your routine and combine modern technology with clean design. Choose the number of cooking zones that suits you, then use functions like booster and bridge options (depending on the model) to control the heat more precisely. You can also take a look at our portable electric hobs, including induction models, handy for a caravan, a holiday flat or cooking outside on the terrace or balcony.

What are the benefits of an IKEA hob with integrated extraction?

A hob with integrated extraction helps keep the space above the hob clear. You can cook without an extractor hood overhead and use the freed-up space for creative lighting or practical hanging storage.

What makes glass-ceramic hobs stand out?

Glass-ceramic hobs combine a timeless look with simple controls and a smooth, easy-care surface. With induction, pans and pots heat up quickly. And when you’re done cooking, cleaning is a breeze thanks to the smooth glass-ceramic surface. Often a damp cloth is all you need to wipe away marks, or a standard glass cleaner for anything more stubborn. Simply wipe dry and you’re done.

What's possible when you combine a hob with an oven?

Combining a hob with a matching IKEA oven gives you more options in the kitchen. Pots and pans can simmer away on the hob while the oven handles a roast, a cake or a freshly baked loaf. IKEA appliances come with features designed to make cooking and cleaning easier. Looking for more useful kitchen helpers? Our appliance guide is here to help.
