They are the best ovens uk choice for boiling water simmering sauces and soups as well as pan-frying eggs and frying meats. Their popularity is due to their ability to generate high levels of heat quickly and precisely, making them ideal for searing and boiling.

Find an electric hob with a sleek design and control buttons that are touch-sensitive. Avoid models with dials or buttons that protrude.
