Top 15 induction hobs and hobs for home
School physics in your kitchen
Author: Nika Ekholm, Oleg Yasinsky
Induction stoves and hobs appeared quite a long time ago, but for the time being they were infrequent guests in the kitchens of domestic consumers. There are several reasons. Firstly, the representation of such equipment on the market was initially limited, and the price is noticeably higher than that of conventional devices with classical heating. Secondly, many were hampered by a simple lack of understanding of the principle of action. Finally, the ubiquitous "word of mouth" conveyed some rumors that the new technology may even harm health.
So it was before. Now everything is much better. From the number of stoves and hobs with induction heating on the shelves of the store eyes. Prices, if somewhat higher, are quite comparable with the “classics”. And the myth about the negative impact on the human body has long been dispelled by specialists, who explained that at a distance of 30 cm from the working surface, the electromagnetic field indices are practically zero. A hypothetical danger exists only for people who have pacemakers and other sensitive electronic medical devices installed in their bodies. The advantages of the induction cookers are mass and an increasing number of buyers give preference to them. The best induction hobs and hobs are represented in our ranking.
Induction cookers which company is better?
The range of induction stoves for the home, which can be easily found in our stores, is noticeably smaller than, for example, electric or gas stoves. Manufacturers can be counted on the fingers. Leaders - AEG (this company was the first to produce induction hobs, however, with the onset of crisis, AEG cookers and hobs began to disappear from our stores), Electrolux, BSH Hausgeräte GmbH (Bosch and Siemens), Zanussi. These firms bring us mainly cooktops (portable and recessed).
Already won the love of buyers Russian company KITFORT (St. Petersburg). Like many other companies, production is located in China. At the time of creating the rating, these models occupy the first places in popularity among induction cookers. with 1 and 2 rings (glass ceramics). They cost less than their foreign counterparts, but perform their functions well.

Our family is not small. The "Domino" module was taken to the usual 4-ring embedded surface. Now we mostly use only them. Flex Induction is really cool. It works fine, it warms instantly. |

A relatively simple, but rather pretty and solidly made induction panel, which can become the best solution for a small kitchen, giving or act as an integral part of a simulated stove. One way or another, the user has access to all the advantages of induction heating. In addition, the efficiency and stability of this model is significantly higher than that of cheap analogues.

The cheapest induction panel in our rating. At the lowest price it has all the necessary functions (including a timer, one-button panel lock). Sensitive touch switches. Buyers celebrate a good, reliable build and a nice appearance. Because of its small size (2 burners, “dominoes”) it is also suitable for a studio apartment, and even for a kitchen in the Khrushchev, if there is a desire to make it modern. Main advantages:

I bought it because the old one burned down. At first I thought that in a year I would replace it with a more reliable manufacturer. Now I think that I will not change anything. Heats well. A liter saucepan boils in 4.5 minutes, 2 liters - 11 minutes. |

Great induction hob from the Slovenian brand, which, at first glance, may seem expensive.Only this obvious delusion is very easy to dispel by familiarizing with the opportunities provided, and if you compare the Gorenje IS 677 USC with similar models of some German or Scandinavian manufacturers, the price tag already seems very attractive. So, what we have: a black glass-ceramic surface with polished edges, 4 induction heating zones, SmartControl touch control with continuously adjustable SliderTouch, residual heat indicators. If you "dig deeper," very wonderful, wonderfully. Function Power Boost Supreme, the ability to combine 4 standard heating zones in 2 large XpandZone. There is an automatic cooking BoilControl, with which nothing "run away" in the cooking process. And this is not a complete list of advantages. Main advantages:

It has long been looked after a good induction panel of a similar format, but the prices are very much biting. And then a lucky chance - they saw a model from Gorene. Surprisingly, with all its advantages, it is almost half the price of any Siemens or Asko. |

Effective and very practical embedded induction panel from the famous German brand. The surface is black glass-ceramic with a steel frame around the perimeter (for lovers of frameless design, there is an analogue of PIF651FB1E with beveled edges). On the desktop there are 4 induction burners of different sizes, one of which is with an oval expansion zone. Touch control DirectSelect. Power control - 17-speed, level indication - digital. Two types of timers are supported: with disconnection for each heating zone and simple alarm. Obviously, the child lock function is superfluous. Available 1, 2 and 3-phase connection, the maximum power - 7400 watts. Minimum allowable for embedding tabletop thickness - 20 mm. Made model in Spain. Main advantages:

Specially bought induction, because in simple electrical panels too much energy is lost to heat around the hob. It is convenient to use. |

The independent built-in panel of a classic size will appeal to those who are not averse to appreciate the merits of “induction”, but they don’t intend to sacrifice their favorite favorite dishes. The thing is that the burners are of two types here: 2 long-distance ones are HiLight, of which one has a radial expansion zone, 2 front ones are induction, which is very competent in terms of location, since you can not be afraid of control overheating. The latter is implemented as a sensor electronic unit. There is automatic boiling, alarm clock, off timer. The special Stop & Go function allows you to stop and resume the cooking process with one touch of a button and to save previously set parameters. Main advantages:

I use more than half a year and I am happy with everything, this is the best induction panel. Induction is unrealistically convenient. Heats up instantly. It seems like, and more economical, but did not sit with a calculator. Simple electric burners too nimble, cool not very long. |

The Zanussi ZEN6641 XBA hob is in many ways similar to the above Electrolux model in configuration, but a bit simpler in terms of functionality. Here, for example, there are no options such as boiling automatics and Stop & Go. Some differences in design are noticeable. And it's not just how the burners are “painted” on the glass-ceramic surface (although for some people this may matter). In this case, the perimeter is a protective frame made of stainless steel. Which option is better? Everyone decides for himself. With regards to the burners, there are four of them: 2 induction with booster function, 2 electric rapid heating, including dual-circuit. For each of them there are indicators of residual heat, a timer. Power control - 15-speed, there is a function of protection against children. Main advantages:

The "Booster" mode reduces the heating time to a fantastically short! By combining the types of energy (gas-electricity), if one of them is disconnected, another source remains. And simple dishes can be used, not only special, for induction. |

From the consumer point of view, this induction stove is close to ideal, and the disadvantage can only be recognized as the need to use special cookware on the cooking table with appropriate marking.

Rings: 4 induction, for each there is a residual heat indicator. Supports automatic cooking, locking pre-set modes. Oven: volume (useful) - 70 l, coating - durable and smooth pyrolytic enamel SilverMatte, on the back wall of the catalytic cleaning panel. There are telescopic guides for level 1.

The selection of good full-size cookers with an induction cooking table today is not that extensive. And against the background of the range available on the market, one of the favorites is deservedly the rather original and high-quality production model of the Republic of Belarus, which is also distinguished by a very nice design. Hob - glass ceramics white, like the whole plate, color.Rings: 4 induction, of which 2 with booster mode. Heat control is sensory, there is an indication of the presence of residual heat. The multifunctional oven has a useful volume of 52 liters, the coating inside is durable enamel with low porosity. Unfortunately, there are no telescopic guides, but there are wire removable ones. Implemented dual interior lighting. Of the functionality: grill, accelerated heating, convection, spit with an electric drive, nozzle-kebab house. In a set baking sheet and a lattice. The model has an analogue made in a completely black color - PE 6570-04 057. But if there is no fundamental difference for the interior, it should be understood that the white version is more practical, since it has less noticeable light pollution, water stains and minor scratches.
