Shop AEG hobs by type

AEG induction hobs – responsive electric cooking with a smooth glass surface, from straightforward four-zone models to flexible Bridge and TotalFlex designs.
Gas hobs – visible flame control with a choice of widths, burner layouts and stainless-steel or gas-on-glass finishes.
Vented induction hobs – induction cooking and integrated extraction in one appliance, useful for islands and kitchens where an overhead cooker hood is unsuitable.
Ceramic hobs – smooth electric cooking surfaces using radiant heating rather than induction.

How to choose an AEG hob

Start with the type of cooking you prefer, then check the actual appliance dimensions, worktop cut-out, electrical or gas connection and available cabinet space. Width alone is not enough: two hobs sold within the same nominal size category can require different cut-outs or installation clearances.

Hob type	Useful for	What to check before buying
Induction	Fast, responsive electric cooking and an easy-clean glass surface	Compatible magnetic cookware, electrical load, hardwired connection, overall width and cut-out dimensions
Gas	Visible flame control and traditional burner cooking	Gas connection, burner spacing, pan-support design, worktop cut-out and finish
Induction extractor	Combining the hob and extractor where an overhead hood is undesirable	Cabinet space, ducting or recirculation configuration, filters, airflow route, electrical connection and installation accessories
Ceramic	Straightforward electric cooking without requiring induction-compatible pans	Electrical supply, hardwired installation, zone layout and worktop cut-out
Mixed fuel	Using gas and induction cooking on the same hob	Both gas and electrical services plus the larger installation footprint normally associated with mixed-fuel models

AEG hob sizes and cooking zones

Choose the hob around both your worktop and the cookware you regularly use. A 60cm hob is a common choice for a standard kitchen layout, while wider 70cm, 75cm, 80cm and 90cm designs can provide additional burner or cooking-zone space. Always use the manufacturer's exact appliance and cut-out dimensions rather than relying on the nominal width alone.

The number of cooking zones also varies. Four-zone layouts suit most everyday cooking, while selected wider AEG hobs provide five or more zones. If you regularly use griddles, fish kettles or other long cookware, look for a model with zones that can be combined.

AEG induction hob features explained

Bridge and flexible cooking zones

AEG Bridge functions link neighbouring induction zones so that they operate together as a larger cooking area. Selected FlexiBridge models divide a larger area into multiple controllable segments, while TotalFlex models provide greater freedom when positioning compatible pans. These functions are useful when conventional circular zones are too restrictive for larger cookware.

SenseBoil and assisted cooking

Selected AEG induction hobs use SenseBoil technology to detect rising bubbles when water reaches the boil and automatically reduce the heat towards a controlled simmer. Assisted functions vary by model, so check the individual product specification if automatic boiling or frying control is important to you.

SaphirMatt surfaces

Selected AEG induction and induction extractor hobs use the SaphirMatt finish. This is a matt black, fingerprint-resistant glass surface designed to provide greater resistance to visible scratching than AEG's standard ceramic-glass hob surfaces. It changes the appearance and surface finish rather than the underlying induction technology.

Hob2Hood

Hob2Hood allows a compatible AEG hob to communicate with a compatible cooker hood so that the hood can adjust its extraction while you cook. It should not be confused with general Wi-Fi or app connectivity. If you are planning a separate hood, browse AEG cooker hoods and confirm compatibility for the individual models.

AEG gas hobs

AEG gas hobs are available in several widths and include both stainless-steel and gas-on-glass designs. Selected FlameLight models use illuminated indicators to make burner status and flame level easier to see, while StepPower provides defined heat settings rather than relying solely on visual flame adjustment.

Check the number and position of burners as well as overall width. Wider five-burner layouts provide more pan space, but the exact worktop opening and gas connection requirements should be checked before ordering.

AEG induction extractor hobs

An induction extractor hob combines induction cooking with an extractor built into the cooking surface. It can remove the need for a conventional hood above the hob, making this format particularly useful for islands and open kitchen layouts.

Installation needs more planning than for a standard induction hob. Confirm whether the exact model supports ducted extraction, recirculation or both, and check the cabinet space required for the motor, filters and airflow components. Some installations also require additional ducting or recirculation parts.

Extractor energy class and noise figures apply to the extraction system rather than to the induction cooking zones. Filter cleaning and replacement requirements also vary between models, so these specifications should be compared alongside hob width and cooking features.

Installation and electrical requirements

Do not choose a replacement hob from nominal width alone. Check the manufacturer's overall dimensions, cut-out dimensions and mounting instructions against the existing worktop. Selected models can be surface mounted or installed flush, but the worktop material and preparation requirements differ.

Current AEG induction and ceramic hobs commonly require a hardwired electrical connection, while gas and mixed-fuel installations have additional service requirements. Use the installation documentation for the exact model and arrange appropriate professional installation.

Cleaning and maintenance

Smooth induction and ceramic glass can normally be wiped down once the surface is safe to clean. Gas hobs require additional cleaning around burners and pan supports. With an induction extractor hob, the grease and odour filtration system also becomes part of routine maintenance.

For extractor models, follow the specified cleaning, replacement or regeneration schedule for the fitted filters. Keeping filters maintained is important for both airflow and odour removal.

AEG hobs FAQs

What types of AEG hob are available?

The range includes induction, gas, ceramic, mixed gas-and-induction and induction extractor hobs. Availability varies, so use the product grid and filters to compare the types currently offered.

What is the difference between an AEG induction hob and a ceramic hob?

An induction hob creates heat in compatible magnetic cookware, while a ceramic hob heats the cooking zone beneath its glass surface. Induction therefore requires compatible pans, whereas a ceramic hob works with a wider range of conventional cookware.

What is an AEG induction extractor hob?

It combines an induction hob and an extractor in one appliance. Cooking vapours are captured at hob level, with the filtered air either ducted outside or recirculated into the room where the individual model and installation configuration allow it.

Do all AEG induction hobs have Bridge zones?

No. Bridge, FlexiBridge and other flexible-zone functions are model dependent. Check the individual specification if you regularly cook with large griddles, plancha plates or long pans.

What does AEG SenseBoil do?

SenseBoil uses a sensor to detect when water is reaching the boil and adjusts the heat towards a controlled simmer. It is available only on selected induction hobs.

What does AEG Hob2Hood do?

Hob2Hood lets compatible AEG hobs communicate with compatible cooker hoods so that extraction can respond automatically while you cook. Compatibility should be checked for the exact hob and hood combination.

Can an AEG extractor hob be used without outside ducting?

Some models support recirculation, while others support ducted extraction or a choice of both. Do not assume every extractor hob can be installed in the same way; check the exact model's extraction specification and required installation parts.

How do I choose the correct hob width?

Use the manufacturer's exact dimensions and worktop cut-out measurements rather than relying only on descriptions such as 60cm or 80cm. Also check cabinet clearance, electrical or gas services and any extraction components below the worktop.
