About this deal

Aside from the four huge cooking zones which are big enough to accommodate extra large cookware up to 24cm in diameter, this model also features ‘flexinduction’, which means if one zone isn’t big enough for the pan you’re using – say, a roasting tin up to 40cm in length – it will automatically activate more inductors so the ingredients are heated evenly. It also features boost for any zone which ramps up the power by 50% for speedy boiling or high-heat frying. Features and functionality score highly too, with the JLBIIH806 boasting touch controls that are dead easy to use. There are practical touches on offer, with the hob having the ability to really give it the beans when you first power up and then ease of the heat once the zone gets to the desired heat. Similarly, the hob can be paused if you need to stop cooking for any reason, while the automatic shut off is a cool safety feature.

The Neff’s TouchControl interface is easy to use but, like all touch sensitive controls, it can sometimes be really fiddly changing power settings. Also, your fingers will leave a lot of marks on the shiny ceramic glass surface in the process but thankfully the whole thing’s a doddle to clean. For more about induction hobs, see our ' what is an induction hob and how does it work?' guide. Induction hob power requirements Which? Trusted Traders will help you to find a local company that can assess what’s wrong and maybe fix it on the spot.At the cutting edge of hob design is the venting hob, a special type of two in one appliance that has a built-in extractor fan in an induction hob. This does away with the need for a cooker hood. Given the amount of cooking power (7.35Kw) and useful tech it offers, this flagship AEG is outstanding value and well worth considering if you need something more versatile. It’s a great looker, too. Hobs are usually guaranteed for two years by larger retailers such as Currys and John Lewis, although some offer more. Sometimes retailers offer a longer guarantee for parts, and a shorter one for labour.

Most ceramic, gas and induction hobs are about 60cm wide. Hobs that are slightly wider should still fit a standard 60cm gap, as they’re designed to overlap the worktop. The size of hob depends on the size of the burners or hob rings, which varies between models. Five-zone hobs What we’re looking at here is a stunning panorama of pot-boiling glamour. The iQ700 is a monster by any standards – it’s 90cm wide for a start – and that means it’s capable of whipping up a Henry VIII banquet at the drop of a titfer. Timer - This function allows you to set the cooking time(max 99min.) for each individual part of your hob, which makes it easier than ever to prepare several dishes at once. When the time expires, the zone switched off and alerts you with an aural signal. The timer function can also be used as a simple minute reminder, reminding you when the time you set is up instead of going off. If you're looking to save money when buying a hob, you have a few options. But whichever route you take, get your hob installed by a professional: a Gas Safe engineer or a professional electrician. Ex-display hobsHowever, there is a small but fairly significant caveat that should be considered before jumping on the induction bandwagon: induction only works with ferrous metals like steel and cast iron, and chances are at least some of your current cookware is of the wrong variety, so you'll need to replace them. After switching off, the glass takes a while to cool down, so you'll need to take care not to touch it. Most ceramic hobs have residual-heat indicators to warn you if a cooking zone is still hot. Hob timers Many induction hobs have a timer for programming zones to switch off automatically when you want them to stop cooking.

This handsome slab has 90cm of meal estate and five-zone flex induction for convenience and outright efficiency. In fact, this model’s induction system is one of the very best because cooking zones are automatically connected depending on where you place the cookware – they can also be connected manually if required. This is a great system for all styles of cookware, including rectangular roasting tins and teppanyaki trays. Ceramic hobs are less easy to control than either gas or induction; there’s a time lag between adjusting the temperature and the temperature changing. The Hob2Hood feature lightens the workload by allowing you to switch on your cooker hood and lights as you start cooking on the hob, plus, the hob is then able to regulate the fan

Care & Maintenance

The Bosch PUE611BF1B induction appliance is one of the hardiest hobs out there having been around for a while now without the threat of being pushed asunder by newer models. The styling certainly still looks very cool, but the hob is also great at getting on with the task in hand, as in heating up your pots and pans very rapidly. Dual zones On electric hobs, this allows you to use an inner zone within the main ring, which saves energy when cooking with smaller pans. Beko will repair free of charge when within the warranty. After that, there’s the choice of paying for a one-off fix by Beko engineers using Beko parts, or Repair and Care insurance. Many induction hobs adopt the touch-sensitive approach to controlling temperature but unlike most models that require stabbing at buttons to raise or lower the temperature, this one uses a touch-sensitive slider which is said to be more accurate and intuitive. A gas-on-glass hob is a standard hob that’s mounted under ceramic glass. This gives it a modern feel and makes it simpler to keep clean.
