3. CDA DH702Z Induction Hob

A well-designed hob is an essential kitchen accessory, and there are a wide range of designs to pick from. But it's not all about design - the performance of a kitchen appliance can be the difference between a successful or unsuccessful cooking experience. If you're a seasoned cook or just starting out our selection of CDA hobs are equipped with features that help alleviate stress from your mealtimes.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs have been a favourite of cooks and amateurs for many years due to their visible heat and ease of control. The heat is also distributed more evenly, making frying easier. However, their effectiveness isn't as great as other types of hob and they are slower to warm up. Additionally, they require a professional installation and proper ventilation for the kitchen to get rid of smoke from combustion.

Electric Hobs (Coil & Smooth-Top)

Electric hobs heat your cookware using an induction plate, which is typically faster and more efficient than gas hobs. They produce less harmful emissions and are easier to clean. They don't have that flame-cooked look and feel, and might not be suitable for homes with medical equipment like pacemakers or children.

The Siemens IQ500 EP9A6SB90 gas hob is a sleek, modern design with five burners. It has plenty of room for pots and pans. There's even a wok burner to cook stir-fries and other Asian dishes. It has a host of features that are user-friendly, such as a handy Quick Start function that shows which burner is lit on the display panel (and can be programmed to shut it off at certain time intervals). There's also a stop and start feature that allows you to temporarily stop the cooking process and resume at a later time.
