To keep your hob looking good and functioning effectively it is essential to maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

The hobs of this type are heated by passing an electric current through coiled metal elements which are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated using control knobs. Some models use a radiant element that emits heat through the surface of the glass. Certain models have Halogen elements that are more effective. They heat the entire surface in repeated pulses.

A lot ceramic hobs we sell have advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface is still hot to the touch to avoid burns. Some have child locks to stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic stove. It is important that your pans have flat bottoms because this ensures even heating and helps avoid hot spots which can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface, as this could scratch the tempered-glass.

For greater flexibility when cooking it is recommended to use ceramic hobs with dual ring design or the 'I-Flex' zone which can accommodate two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll require at least a 30cm-wide pan to allow it to register). We also have models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific zones or pots, which is great for stir-fry and searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off function that turns off the hob at a set time to prevent it from overheating. This is a great safety feature that will give you peace of assurance. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power' button on the control panel when you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a set period of time.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes referred to as a gas stove or gas cooker is an appliance for kitchen use that makes use of flammable natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats the cookware as well as the air surrounding it, which allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob provides added safety because it prevents the body from coming in contact with the flame, eliminating the risk of burns. However, this elevated construction requires particular attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are controlled by hand and lit using a matches. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that makes sure the gas is lit in a timely manner. The flame can be controlled by the knobs that control it making it easy to alter the heat level as needed. Based on the model, some gas hobs are also equipped with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas hob is that it requires a constant supply of gas which can be a problem for those who reside in an area that has an unstable or insecure supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who will ensure that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances are still popular in certain areas, even though electric and induction hobs have grown in popularity. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well as local prices for energy and availability. It is crucial to think about the kitchen's infrastructure and utility costs prior to selecting a kitchen style.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who are looking for a sleek, clean-looking kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans instead of an oven and hob or a plate that is heated or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated under the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top of the cooker the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pot or the pan itself. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas counterparts to clean. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking fresh as new.

The biggest drawback to cooking induction is that you'll need have suitable cookware for it. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick cookware are compatible however they require a magnetic base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

A variety of induction hobs are available, from budget models to premium brands with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. If a pan is placed on a power zone, the hob will show you its position on a full-color display. It also has the option of a slider or control button that lets you change the power setting or set the timer. There are a variety of clever accessories, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the hob using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs that have a built-in fan can reduce steam, smoke, and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space since it does not require an extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it uses magnetic fields that operate within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that affects the contents of your pan. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the magnetic density for the relevant frequency. There are no health hazards to be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The best electric hobs are sleek and designed to match most kitchen designs. They are a great option for those who like the ease of use of control buttons instead of dials and come with many options to meet your cooking needs. Most are made from glass that is easy to clean and can look elegant if you opt for a white or black design. Some have a bridge function to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans while others include the power boost button to provide additional heat when performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity due to their contemporary and sleek design that fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook fast and provide a high degree of security. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers, and they come with an indicator light that remains on when the cooking zone becomes hot to touch. They also work more efficiently because the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air around it.

However, there are things to keep in mind when selecting an induction hob - most require a specific power supply configured with the correct cables and breakers so we'd suggest having your electric hob installed by a licensed electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need a set of compatible induction pans to get the best out of them. They can be more expensive because they use more energy.
