Which type of Candy hob is best for how you cook — induction, gas, ceramic or an electric solid plate?

If you want fast, precise heat and easy cleaning, go for the 60cm induction model (for example the CI642CTT/E1), but remember induction needs magnetic pans. Choose gas if you value instant flame control and flexibility with any cookware — Candy offer 60cm and 75cm gas hobs in both stainless steel and glass finishes such as the CHG6LPX and CHG74WPX. Ceramic hobs like the CH64CCB or the smaller 30cm CDH30 give a smooth glass surface that’s simple to wipe and often include residual heat indicators. If you’re on a tight budget or have a basic kitchen, the 60cm electric solid plate CLE64KX is a reliable, low-cost option.

What hob width and number of cooking zones should you pick for your kitchen layout?

For very small kitchens or a single person, a 30cm hob such as the CDH30 with two zones works well; it fits narrow worktops and frees up space. The most common choice is a 60cm hob with four zones — models like the CI642CTT/E1 or CH64CCB — which suits families and most worktop cut-outs. If you cook with many pans at once or want a professional look, step up to a 75cm model (CHG74WPX or CVG74WPB) which typically gives you extra zones and a wider layout; the filters also show intermediate widths (590–595 mm and 745–750 mm) if you need a specific cut-out.

Are features such as a residual heat indicator and child lock worth having?

Yes — a residual heat indicator tells you when a ceramic or induction zone is still hot, which reduces burn risk after cooking. A child lock is useful if you have young children or curious guests, and several Candy models in the range offer it according to the filters. For example, touch-controlled induction and ceramic models often include both safety features, whereas simpler rotary-dial gas and solid-plate hobs may omit them. If safety is a priority in your household, select a model explicitly listed with those features.

How do finishes — black glass versus stainless steel — affect appearance and cleaning?

Black glass hobs such as the CH64CCB or the gas-on-glass CVG6DPB give a sleek, modern look and wipe clean easily, but they can show fingerprints and streaks more readily. Stainless steel options like the CHG74WPX and CHG6LPX are hard-wearing and disguise everyday marks, making them practical for busy family kitchens. If you have an open-plan kitchen and want a showpiece, black glass looks very contemporary; if durability and low-maintenance appearance matter more, stainless steel is the better practical choice.

Should you choose rotary dials or touch controls for everyday use?

Rotary dials (available on five models in the range) give tactile feedback and are especially suited to gas hobs such as the CHG6LPX, where quick, robust control is useful. Touch controls (on three models) look cleaner, are easier to wipe flat, and often include features like timers and child locks, which is handy on induction models like the CI642CTT/E1. If you prefer simplicity and long-term robustness, dials are dependable; if you want a minimalist surface with extra functions, touch control is the smarter choice.
