Built-in Hobs – How to Choose the Best for Your Kitchen

Induction hobs – fast and efficient cooking

Induction hobs use electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, meaning the hob surface itself stays relatively cool and is easier to clean. You'll need pots and pans with magnetic bases – aluminum cookware won't work. Brands like BOSCH and GORENJE offer models with features such as pan size detection and automatic shut-off.

Ceramic electric hobs – affordable alternative

Ceramic electric hobs feature a smooth glass surface that's easy to maintain, though they heat up more slowly than induction. They work with all types of cookware, making them a practical choice for households that already own a diverse set of pots and pans. Brands like BEKO and CANDY offer reliable models at accessible price points.

Gas hobs – traditional cooking method

Gas hobs provide precise flame control and instant response to temperature changes. They require connection to mains gas or bottled gas and must be professionally installed for safety compliance. Models with heat-resistant glass surfaces, such as those from ELECTROLUX and HANSA, combine classic functionality with modern design.

Size and number of cooking zones

Standard built-in hobs are 60 cm wide with four zones, but narrower 30 cm versions and wider 70-90 cm models for larger kitchens are also available. Consider your cooking habits – if you frequently prepare multiple dishes simultaneously, a model with five or six zones will give you greater flexibility. Some ELICA TESLA models feature extended zones that accommodate oval or elongated cookware.

What to check before buying

Verify the cutout dimensions in your worktop and the depth of space underneath – induction hobs need a few extra centimeters for electronics ventilation. Features like child lock, timer with automatic shut-off, and overflow detection sensors enhance safety and convenience. Zone power levels – typically between 1200W and 3000W – determine heating speed.
