1. Haier I-Flex Induction Hob

This Haier stove has four cooking zones with three 'Push&Go" functions, and can help you prepare quick meals. It was also among the most efficient on test to boil water, taking just under four minutes. It has an child lock and the ability to pause, which means you can stop the process in a snap without having to fiddle with controls.

Its design is sleek, modern and is a great match for contemporary kitchens. It's typically made of glass (shatterproof and heatproof) or ceramic, and has controls that are on top of the worktop to allow for ease of use.

The controls are simple to use and we liked the clear display that informs you the current power settings, and which of the five zones is active. The 'Boost' feature generates high-powered heat for a short period of time, and is perfect for stir-frying or bringing pans of boiling water to the boil quickly. Safety features like the hob light that is hot and automatic shutoff are useful.

However, it's not as responsive to touch as some other hobs tested in this test. We found that it took nine presses of the control to reach the highest temperature, in contrast to six or seven on other models. It takes a bit longer for the pan to react when you alter the temperature. You may need to adjust the settings multiple times to get the right temperature.

This 60 cm model has four cooking zones, including a half-flex zone where two areas can be joined to accommodate larger pots and pans. The dual-ring design allows it to be operated with both "normal" and "boost" power levels. The Boost is ideal for cooking meat while searing it or bring water to a fast boil.

It is fully connected to the hOn app and includes 100's of recipes, guides for cooking, and 30 unique programs divided into various food categories and types of cooking. It features a simple multislider interface, as well as a lockable control panel. In addition, it is able to automatically detect the kind of pan you're using and set up the correct cooking mode.

Testers were impressed by this hob's user-friendly interface, with intuitive sliding controls that slide across the edge of the hob to follow your pan. The color scheme of the control panel helps you quickly identify the status of each zone, while the Flexi Duo function allows you to connect two zones to accommodate larger pots.

3. Indesit I-Flex Induction Hob

Induction hobs are powered by electricity, not gas. They use copper plates to create a magnetic force when a pan or pot is placed on them. They are able to heat up faster than gas hobs, and they also consume less energy because the cooking area only gets hot when you turn on your pan. They are generally cheaper to run than gas, and they are also less difficult to clean.

Indesit's induction hob is full of features to help you develop your cooking ideas. It comes with two distinct zones that can be combined into a Dual Zone to accommodate larger pans, and a speedy booster zone that can quickly bring the water to a boil. The Push&Go feature, for instance, lets you cook flawlessly with the click of one button. Nine power modes that include a 'P boost setting that gives each zone maximum power for 5 minutes, can be easily set using the controls, which move along the bottom edge of the hob and oven to follow your pans.

The controls are easy to use, and the minimalist design is ideal for a modern kitchen. In our tests, it swiftly heated up a pan once we placed it on the Booster Zone, and boiled pasta water. However it took an extended time to cool down once it was turned off from the hob. Additionally, our testers found it difficult to pinpoint the exact temperature on the control panel.

In addition to having a Dual Zone and Push&Go, the Indesit hob also has a bridge function that lets you connect two cooking zones to accommodate larger pans. It also has a child lock as well as an overheating block. It also has an automatic shut-off mechanism that stops the hob from working when it gets too hot. Our testers appreciated the fact that there weren't any visible flames that were messy and messy, and the ceramic glass was easy to clean. Contrary to traditional extractor hoods vented hobs draw heat and smoke away from the pan and out of the room via an air duct that is built into the surface. Our experts thought this hob's duct was easy to clean, though it took two people to take the filter out and change it.

4. Induction Hob by General Electric

When choosing a new hob think about how it will fit to your kitchen's design and layout, and also your cooking style and your lifestyle. For instance, if often cook with small children or elderly people in mind, security features such as an automatic shut-off or cool to the touch surface can make an induction stove the best option. If you're looking for speed and efficiency, a ceramic glass fascia on an electric hob is the best choice. If you live in areas prone to load-shedding, the ability to use gas hobs during power cuts may tip the scales in favour of gas models.
