Product Information

Best quality & features – The BOV820BSS Smart Oven Pro by Sage has the best features of all the ovens on test here, with the high quality of the product justifying the high-end price tag. Most notably are the digital display and controls powering the ‘Element IQ’ system. The way in which this system helps to control the temperature of the oven, based on whichever of the 10 presets you’ve chosen, is highly intuitive and ensures that your food is cooked evenly, and to perfection, every time. The inclusion of non-slip feet ensures stability during use. However, it’s important to note that the Russell Hobbs hob has two heating elements compared to the Duronic’s two cast iron hobs, which might affect the cooking performance and heat distribution.

It is nice to have the option of grilling, but you can only really fit two small slices of bread under at any one time, and it takes a little while to cook, so it is not something to be relied on. A nice touch, though. As with all of our buying guides, everything we cover on woman&home we test in our own homes. When it comes to the best portable induction hobs that means cooking on each model to see how they performed in a variety of different ways. We took the following into consideration... Having 10 presets in this oven is also a real advantage. Including toaster and grill settings, options for specific food types and even a slow cook option if you want to cook without needing to constantly monitor it, the Sage has you covered. The auto-shutoff features add to this, meaning that it’ll keep your food warm when it’s done cooking but won’t let it overheat. How you will use it: For instance, if you are looking to buy one ahead of a kitchen renovation, you’ll probably want a machine with more than one hob. If you plan on taking it camping, you may want two rings as well, to be able to cook more than one thing at once. Or, if you just need a bit of extra cooking capacity in your kitchen at busy times, a portable hob with one ring should be enough.

If you like the idea of induction, prices have come down in recent years, making it more affordable. As it’s the pan that heats up and not the hob, it’s great from a safety view and is super energy efficient, too. Induction surfaces are also easy to clean and high-tech with touch controls alongside flexi or bridging zones, that can be adapted to suit bigger pans. If you’re on a budget or just need something to last temporarily, then it will cope well with the task. It is quite compact, so great for storing away and bringing out as and when needed. Yes, portable induction hobs are some of the safest hobs there are on the market. When used properly, they present a low-risk way to make food thanks to the technology that sees the pans heat up, but the plate itself remain cool. This means burns are less likely from accidently touching the top. However, as with all electricals, there are risks involved. The main safety hazards to consider are: Traveling: There really are endless benefits to keeping one of these stashed away in a cupboard or filed at the side of your worktop. One such benefit is travel. If you enjoy camping or staying in motorhomes or caravans that can be hooked up to the electrics then these handy pieces of equipment are ideal to take on the go. They transform any space into an instant kitchen and can deal with a surprising quantity of traffic. Take one on the road for bacon sandwiches at breakfast through to a warming stew for dinner. The power indicator light on the mini oven with hob (usually) tells you that the unit is on. It doesn’t show that the oven has reached the selected temperature – there’s no indicator for that.Induction models are a bit more pricey, but the reliability and control is often a big jump up from ordinary ceramic plate models so could well be worth the extra money if you will be relying on it a lot.
