Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen and there are numerous options available. We have a range of cooking rings ranging from four to six, and some with additional features such as pan supports.

They are quick to heat and cool, with a consistent temperature of the cooking surface. Professional chefs often prefer them because they are easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

A very popular choice, gas hobs feature burner rings and an grate that cookware and pans rest on. They heat quickly and provide precise temperature control. They also can accommodate a variety of cooking techniques including boiling water to grilling meats. Gas hobs are typically cheaper than electric options since they are powered by natural gas as their source.

These are available in a variety of finishes including stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give the cabinets a modern and sleek design that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. However, they are susceptible to burning and scratching which is why it's essential to be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is crucial to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if have one of the more traditional freestanding models. To get a more thorough clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and scrub gently. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are appliances that stand on their own, built-in gas hobs are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can also be mounted on a separate base, making them easy to move if you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. However, incorporating an gas hob into your kitchen requires a lot of construction work and professional installation.

Gas hobs can be found in a variety of finishes. From the classic white and black, to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in a variety of styles. Some are even available in a stunning blue or green colour to add some individuality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been in use for a long time. They provide precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is important to practice proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

Gas hobs also feature an automatic flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and they're relatively quick to heat up and clean. They are available in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's one that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Many also have residual heat indicators built in that turn off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can help minimise the risk of accidental burns and is especially beneficial if you have young children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. It is worse when you drag the pots across rather than lifting them by their handles. We recommend that you use extra care when moving and handling your cookware on and off the hob. We also advise against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob since this can damage the surface.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic hob is that it takes longer than induction or gas hobs to cool down. This is a problem especially in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking zones. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this and now offer various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30%.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs warm up the fastest and are the most efficient option available. Induction hobs are very clean and safe, and they don't store any heat on the cooking area. However they can be costly.

A popular option for kitchen upgrades, induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the glass/ceramic surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.

Under the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob and oven are copper coils which an alternating electrical current runs through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently as there is no loss of heat from the pan itself.

There's an induction stove that suits your style. If you're looking for something that is easy to operate, you could opt for a model with an entire touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan on every zone. Click on the display and you'll be able to access a comprehensive operating menu, change the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to suit certain recipes or food kinds. This is a great way to save time while cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option since they consume less electricity and generate no residual heat. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

Our suggestion is to select a top induction cooker with a built-in extractor. It removes smoke, steam and odours out of the air when you cook, so it can be used with a greater choice of cookerware. You'll also get the best hob value for your money if you select a dual-flex zone, which allows you to join two zones together on the left-hand side to accommodate larger pans.

If you're looking for a durable hob that can resist hard-wearing stains, consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. The coating is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. You should still make use of a non-abrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pad for removing food residues that have been burned however, avoid any abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are a crucial feature in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are sleek and can be easily integrated into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a perfect choice for busy families.

Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, don't use a flame. Instead, they use an element that is able to rise through ceramic glass to heat the food directly. They are also less expensive to run since they can be turned off when not in use - saving you money on energy costs.

It's important to note that not all hobs have the same features. Certain hobs are more modern and include features such as an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display that clearly displays the temperature and power levels and cooking time. Some models come with an enhancement feature that boosts the performance and speed of the element.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. Spills and splatters can be easily removed without needing to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.

Electric hobs are a great option for families. However, if you wear pacemakers, you can't make use of this type of stove because its electromagnetic field could interfere with the device. Induction hobs offer a better alternative for those who require an appropriate cookware that you can buy from our selection of kitchen appliances.
