TOP 5: electric hobs

Pyramida CFEA 640/1 black

This model of the Ukrainian manufacturer was included in our list due to its high functionality and stylish design.

Four Hi-light burners of various capacities and diameters allow you to cook in almost any dish. The cooking surface has 2 burners with a diameter of 14 cm and a power of 1.2 kW, a large burner with a diameter of 18 cm by 1.8 kW and one double-circuit burner 14/21 cm with a power of 1/2.2 kW.

Touch control of the surface operation is intuitive. You can smoothly change the heating intensity and set the cooking timer from 1 to 99 minutes.

The manufacturer paid special attention to the safety and efficiency of the cooking surface. The Pyramid CFEA 640/1 has a residual heat sensor, an overheat shutdown system and a hotplate activation lock function. If you have children, this feature will be very useful.

The care of glass ceramics is quite simple: a sponge, a special scraper and a mild cleaning agent will help you to keep the cooking surface always in perfect condition.

The black glass-ceramic surface of Whirlpool AKT 801 will perfectly fit into any kitchen interior.

Four quickly heated burners have different sizes and capacities (2x14.5 cm, 18 cm and 21 cm), which will allow optimal use of electricity and cook in dishes of different sizes equally quickly. The hob is equipped with a residual heat indicator, a timer and the possibility of locking the control panel.

The control of the burners is touch—sensitive, as simple as possible. In addition, touch buttons are also practical during surface cleaning.

Gorenje ECT 620 ASC black

The stylish design of this cooking surface is not the only thing that distinguishes it from similar models.

First of all, attention is attracted by the presence of a two-circuit burner with a diameter of 12/21 cm and a capacity of up to 2.2 kW, as well as an additional heating zone for oval-shaped dishes with a capacity of 1.7 kW. In combination with a panel width of 60 cm, this will allow the use of large-sized or non-standard shaped dishes. The other two burners have a diameter of 14.5 cm and a power of 1.2 kW.

Each of the hi-light burners is controlled using a touch panel. Two-position residual heat indicators will not only protect you from burns, but also help to save some of the electricity. The indicators show on which burner the finished dish can be kept warm.

The safety of the device is ensured by the functions of automatic shutdown, as well as blocking the panel from being turned on by children.

Samsung C61R1CAMST black

This cooking surface is distinguished, first of all, by a stylish metal frame around the perimeter. This element not only decorates the model, but also has practical significance. Thanks to the frame, the spilled liquid will not leave the surface and will not fall on the countertop or on the floor. However, such a design has a downside — dirt can accumulate near the frame, which will make it difficult to clean the equipment.

The surface has 4 burners, including 2 standard burners with a diameter of 14.8 cm and a power of 1.2 kW, one with an expandable heating zone (12.9/21.5 cm and a power of 2.2 kW) and one with an additional oval zone for cooking in non—standard sized dishes (17/26.5 cm and a power of 2.4 kW).

The device is controlled by touch. Among the additional functions there is a timer, automatic shutdown and blocking of accidental pressing of control buttons. As with other models, there are indicators of residual heat. They will not allow you to get burned, and will also tell you when you can start cleaning the burners.

Electrolux EHH 56340 FK black

The laconic design of this glass-ceramic hob "hides" high functionality. Four induction burners guarantee the speed and comfort of cooking a wide variety of dishes.

The induction surface has a number of advantages over conventional electrical:

• fast heating;
• economy — energy is spent on heating dishes, but not the heating element;
• there is no risk of getting burned — only the bottom of the dishes heats up, not everything around;
• ease of cleaning — when food gets on the surface, it does not burn and is easily cleaned.

However, it must be remembered that cooking utensils should be suitable for induction cookers. Ordinary pots and pans made of ceramics, glass and aluminium will not warm up on such a burner.

The Electrolux EHH 56340 hob has 4 burners: 2 by 18 cm and a power of 1.8/2.8 kW, one by 14.5 cm with a power of 1.4 / 2.5 kW and one large by 21 cm and a power of 2.3 /3.7 kW. The control is carried out using the touch panel. You can smoothly change the power of the burners, set a timer, block the panel from accidentally turning on. The surface has an automatic shutdown function, as well as an indication of the residual heating of the burners.
