Navigating the World of AEG Hobs: A Comprehensive Overview
AEG it might be the finest – certainly it’s the most diverse: this German manufacturer makes more hob types than anyone I can think of. In fact, no single appliance is better at reflecting deep differences in cooking routine and kitchen layout with customised respondents. Here’s the lowdown.2. AEG Gas Hobs: Embracing Tradition with Modern Refinement
For those who enjoy the feel of gas – the immediate heat; the responsiveness and immediacy; the purer, less filtered taste of what you’re cooking; and the noise of an igniting gas burner – a lot of which are lost with electric – AEG has some classic-looking but modern gas hobs that do the job well. Gas hobs are instantaneous and responsive, perfect for cooking steaks or simmering vegetables or finding the perfect flame to keep delicate things barely moving. Having that control over a gas flame is certainly part of the reason why many home cooks prefer gas to electric. Every detail at AEG was designed with care: even the most sensitive task of flame control was considered and engineered for the safest and most dependable cooking experience, in their gas hobs.- Dense Flames:The burners of AEG gas hobs give out dense flames, meaning you have tight control over the heat. You can get your food to exactly the temperature you need, whether you’re gently simmering a sauce or achieving the perfect crust on a charred pizza.
- Instant heat: with gas hobs, you can literally turn up the heat whenever you need it. There’s no waiting around for a slow-to-respond hob to warm up, so you can go straight from simmer to sear. People who like cooking at pace – whether that’s pan-frying, searing meat or stir-frying veg – are likely to enjoy cooking on gas.
- Versatility: Gas hobs are pretty versatile, allowing for all kinds of cooking – from slow simmering to fast baking – and everything in between. There’s a reason why professional kitchens usually opt for gas: it’s great for copying a variety of cooking techniques found in different cuisines.
3. AEG Electric Hobs: Reliable Heat Distribution and Timeless Elegance
AEG electric hobs offer consistent and even heat distribution, making this one of the most popular kinds of hobs available. The surface of an electric hob is smooth and sleek, enhancing the aesthetics of your countertop. Electric hobs sit at the forefront of classic kitchen design. They are the most familiar form of cooking found in people’s homes, and their reliability ensures a consistent cooking experience. All hobs are made the same way. Essentially, a heating element that conducts heat is made from an alloy, which is a mix of different metals. In the case of AEG electric hobs, there are two main types: ceramic and radiant. Ceramic Electric Hobs: The smooth, heat-inducing surface on ceramic hobs is made of glass-ceramic.
This glass-ceramic top spreads the heat evenly which not only appears contemporary but also ensures evenly heated pots and pans. Ceramic hobs are popular with contemporary kitchen gurus because they look nice and are easy to keep clean: whatever you cook on them just slips off. The AEG IAE64411FB from Electrolux is a prime example of this kind of ceramic hob: its smooth ceramic surface is stylishly easy to clean, spreads heat evenly to the pots and pans, and is built with nine heating zones to cater for most cooking needs.
Radiant Electric Hobs These hobs use heating elements under the surface to heat up; also they are less expensive than ceramic hobs and do not ensure even heat distribution like warming hobs. Radiant hobs are for those who like electric facility and do not want to pay expensive. AEG electric hobs are renowned for their practicality, easy maintenance and outstanding performance. They’re perfect for those who still want ‘real’ electric cooking, but like a touch of class. Whether ceramic or radiant, AEG electric hobs deliver.
4. AEG Dual Fuel Hobs: The Best of Both Worlds
Dual fuel is the best of both worlds: the AEG dual fuel hobs combine the speed and controllability of a gas hob with the precision and even cooking of an electric hob. They normally have an electric zone for frying, casserole and pans, and a gas zone for a more immediate response and the ability to go nice and fast when required.
They are the best choice for a fuss-free and innovative gourmet kitchen. You get the instant heat and control of gas for searing and sautéing with the precise temperature control of electric for simmering sauces or baking a delicate dish. This is why dual fuel hobs are a staple of kitchens that like the best of both worlds. To be able to sear a steak over gas and simmer a delicate sauce or bake a delicate dish on an electric zone — what more can you ask for?

The AEG HGB64200SM below is a perfectly typical example of a vented gas hob, giving you the best of both worlds – traditional gas cooking but with the ventilation you’d expect to make this as efficient as possible.
