What's best for you?
Different cooktop technologies provide different benefits, from efficiency and speed, to flexibility and ease of installation. We’ve put together the below guide to help you better understand these differences and choose the best cooktop for your needs.
Induction cooktops offer excellent efficiency, precision and added safety as they only generate heat where it is needed – directly on the base of the pan. This improves energy efficiency, safety and allows for faster cooking with minimal heat loss.
Ceramic cooktops heat the glass of the cooktop, which then warms the base of the pan. This can provide a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface that is easy to maintain and delivers even heating for consistent cooking results, with the added versatility of working with various cookware types.
Gas cooktops burn natural gas, creating heat around the base of the pan. They are valued for their instant heat adjustment, which is ideal for recipes requiring quick changes in temperature, and their visible flame allows for easy monitoring of heat levels.
After many years with a gas stove, we recently transferred to this Bosch induction hob. I was not expecting to like it as much as the gas, expecting the control to be inferior. Boy, was I wrong. Heat can be controlled very quickly, up or down. The power boost function is fantastic, boiling water in mere minutes. The flex induction zone is great for when you have a couple of pots/pans on the go. Very simple to use. A quick wipe with a soapy cloth after it cools down is all it needs to keep clean.
Compared with my old oven, this one is a real step up. I've cooked in it a couple of times, and the results have been consistent and even each time. I like the 3D hot air mode. What stands out most is how much easier it is to clean, which alone makes it far better than what I had before.
After switching from a gas cooktop to the Bosch Series 8 induction cooktop, I have absolutely no regrets. It heats up incredibly fast, making cooking much quicker and more efficient. Despite its powerful performance, it's surprisingly quiet and very easy to use.
One of my favourite features is the built-in timer, which takes the guesswork out of cooking and helps keep everything perfectly timed. The five cooking zones are also a huge advantage, allowing me to prepare multiple dishes at once without running out of space.
The sleek design looks fantastic in the kitchen, and the overall cooking experience is so much better than I expected. If you're thinking about making the switch from gas to induction, I highly recommend this cooktop—you won't regret it!
It has been a good experience so far. It is quite quick to come into boil. Easy to clean and look amazing. Although wish to know a few tips sooner. The timing function comes in handy without making a mess or overspill. Ample space to have a multiple cooking pots at the same time. The bridging function is useful for bigger cooking pot. Been really pleased with the purchase.
