Glass-ceramic, induction or gas? Choose the perfect kitchen hob

When choosing a hob, you need to bear a few things in mind:

1. Use

Depending on how often you use the hob, you may only need a portable single-zone hob or a more modern induction or gas version.

2. Size

How much food do you cook at a time? How many burners do you need? If you have a small kitchen or don't cook much at once, a hob with one or two burners is enough. If you cook more, you'll will need a hob with three or four burners.

3. Type

How do you like to cook? You can choose induction or gas hobs, or even a combination of both. We also have hobs with flexible cooking zones that adapt to the size of your pots and pans.


Types of hobs

Induction hobs

Induction hobs are faster and consume less energy.

Glass-ceramic hobs

Easy to use. Some also have flexible areas that adapt to the size of your pots and pans.

Gas hobs

These hobs have a more professional look and allow you to control the temperature much faster. They are perfect for quickly frying and browning food.

Kitchen hob features

Portable hobs are very easy to transport and can be stored away if you don't need them. They are perfect for small kitchens.

The cooking zones you need will depend on the amount of food you want to cook at once. We offer hobs with one to four cooking zones.

The pause function pauses all active cooking zones, which can then be returned to the same temperature as before.

By pressing the safety lock, the on/off and temperature change functions will stop working. This is very useful for cleaning the hob or to protect your little ones.

Each cooking zone has an individual timer, so you can control what is cooking in each area.

The power booster heats up the selected zone more quickly. It is perfect for stir-frying and searing meat.

With the bridge function, you can link two cooking zones to cook dishes that require larger pans, such as paella.

Flexible cooking zones adapt the cooking surface to your needs. You won't waste heat on small pans and won't lack space for larger ones.

With the pre-set cooking mode, you can adjust the temperature simply by moving the pot or pan to a different position on the cooking area. You'll love it!

With the touch control panel, you'll be able to adjust the heat easily and precisely.

To set the desired temperature, simply slide your finger along the touch control panel.
