AEG hobs cover gas, induction, ceramic and dual fuel cooking, from a 30 cm gas domino to 90 cm hobs with five burners or zones. Models come from the 3000, 6000 and 8000 Series alongside EXCLUSIV induction hobs, suiting a simple replacement as well as a kitchen planned around a keen cook.

AEG gas hobs come in 60, 75 and 90 cm widths, in stainless steel or black gas-on-glass. Most have cast iron pan supports to hold heavy pans steady, and many have a flame failure safety device that cuts the gas if the flame goes out. Some add a wok or Multi Crown burner for strong heat under a large pan. A few gas-on-glass models have StepPower Controls, which click through nine set levels so the same heat is easy to find again, and some offer Hob2Hood, which links wirelessly to a compatible AEG cooker hood and adjusts extraction as you cook.

Most AEG electric hobs are induction, which heats the pan itself, so it reacts quickly and the surrounding glass stays cooler, though pans must be magnetic. There are 60 and 80 cm induction models, many with 14 power levels. Some have bridging zones that join two zones for a griddle or long dish, and SaphirMatt models have a matt black finish that AEG describes as highly scratch-resistant. SenseBoil, on selected hobs, detects when water boils and turns the heat down to stop it boiling over. Ceramic hobs are a simpler radiant option that suits any flat-based pan, and some have extendable zones for bigger pans.

AEG dual fuel hobs put induction zones and gas burners together on a 90 cm hob, while AEG domino hobs are 30 cm modules for tight spaces or pairing up. AEG venting hobs combine induction with a built-in extractor, so no overhead hood is needed. To narrow the choice, start with your fuel supply and cut-out width, then weigh the visible flame of gas against the speed and easy cleaning of induction, and decide whether Hob2Hood or bridging zones matter to you.
