🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG HKB95820NB gas hob is a wide five-burner model designed for cooks who prefer the responsiveness of gas. Its 3.9 kW multi-crown burner, three semi-rapid burners and auxiliary burner provide a useful spread of cooking positions, while StepPower gives the knobs nine defined flame levels.

Cooking performance
The AEG HKB95820NB gas hob provides five burners: one 3.9 kW multi-crown burner, three 1.9 kW semi-rapid burners and one 1.0 kW auxiliary burner. That gives it useful flexibility for simultaneous cooking, with the multi-crown position best suited to large pans and high-heat cooking.
StepPower controls divide the flame into nine numbered levels, making it easier to repeat low simmering and medium-heat cooking than with an unrestricted rotary control. The manufacturer also specifies Speed Burner technology, designed to direct the flame towards the base of the pan.
Design and everyday use
The AEG HKB95820NB gas hob uses a black glass surface with front rotary controls and three cast-iron pan-support sections. The supports are robust and fitted with silicone feet for stability, while the frameless design gives the hob a clean, worktop-level appearance.
Integrated ignition lights the burners as the control knobs are pressed and turned. Thermocouple flame protection is also fitted, cutting the gas supply if a flame goes out.
Installation requirements
This is a built-in 86 cm gas hob requiring an 830 x 480 mm cut-out. Its overall dimensions are 860 x 510 x 40 mm, so it needs substantially more worktop space than a standard 60 cm hob.
The hob is supplied for natural gas G20 at 20 mbar and includes provision for LPG conversion using the specified injectors. Installation must be carried out by a qualified person, and the electrical ignition system uses a 220–240 V supply with a fitted 3 amp plug.
Cleaning and limitations
The black glass surface should be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral detergent rather than abrasive products or metal cleaning pads. The manual also warns that unsuitable or damaged cookware can scratch the glass, and the burners should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
The official gas-hob efficiency figure is 57.9%, which is reasonable for a gas appliance but gives induction hobs a clear efficiency advantage. The burner layout also concentrates the highest output in one multi-crown position rather than providing several large high-output burners.
