The 10 Best Ceramic Hobs

This Neff ceramic hob is a top-of-the-range pick, which will allow you to adapt the appliance to your precise needs depending on cooking styles and what it is you’re making.
There are four zones, but each and every single one is different. You have a small one for when the milk pan/that peppercorn sauce is on the go or you have a tea pot bubbling away, as well as a large space for woks or large soup pans and a longer zone for frying pans or all-in-one breakfast trays.
A residual heat indicator will help when you want to ensure everything is cool before you go anywhere near it again, and the control panel is also lockable for when you don’t want to risk the temperature being changed.
Our only niggle is that the controls are rather small so you could struggle to see them in some light, but they’re easy enough to control once you get used to the positioning.
