Types of Hobs

A hob (known as a stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans by using electricity or flames. There are several different types of hobs, and you can choose one that fits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs come with an elongated ceramic cooking surface and have five or four zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are sleek and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern look that can really enhance the overall appearance of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are simple to clean and can easily be cleaned up when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient and can help lower your electric bill. Ceramic hobs oven can be slow in changing the temperature settings. This can be frustrating when you are cooking something that requires a quick reduction or increase of temperature.

Electric hobs consist of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. They can be controlled separately using rotary knobs and notched up to the level of power you require. You can utilize the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a certain zone. Ceramic hobs also have very high heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being shut off. This can be a problem for families with children, so it's advisable to install them in an area that is away from flammable objects and out of reach of children.

This kind of hob can be mounted on a variety of worktops such as laminate or solid hardwood, as well as granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent option if you're looking to replace your previous hobs without spending too much money. However, just like any other appliance, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains, and we recommend hiring an electrician professional to ensure your new hobs oven are safe to use.

This type of hob is sensitive to pan sizes and shapes. It is essential to purchase cookware that matches the element precisely or fits comfortably in each of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, the element will not recognize it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This can cause uneven cooking and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have an elegant, modern look. They can be more expensive than electric hobs, and could require professional installation. However, they heat up faster and the water in a full pot can often boil in less than four minutes. This type of hob is also a great option for cooks who like to regulate the amount of heat produced. Glass hobs and ovens are more prone to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to build up grease and residue.

This Bertazzoni hob is an excellent example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners that are matte black, with control knobs made of metal for a stylish, sophisticated appearance. It also comes with an oblong wok ring with 4kW for added versatility, plus dishwasher-proof pan supports that are easy to clean.

This Bosch gas hob is a highly recommended model. It is a sleek piece of toughened glass with cutting-edge cooking technology. The dual ring design on the left of the gas hob features a double inner burner to improve heat distribution and increase the speed of cooking. It also has an indicator for power that lets you control the exact temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-set settings, like high settings to sear steaks and a low one for scrambled egg.

Our test participants also liked the controls as they were easy to use and intuitive. A few minor drawbacks are that you must physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest heating level and it can be difficult to see the state of the burners through the glass.

A few of the top gas-on-glass hobs are available for affordable prices, such as this Neff model. It's not likely to win any design awards however it's going to perform the task and be a fantastic addition to your kitchen for just over 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. They're not only elegant and stylish, but they are also more efficient, safer and more efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most well-known electric hobs is a ceramic hob. These hobs have a sleek glazed finish, and feature an exterior that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost feature, which allows you to increase the heat of your cooker for a short amount of time.

Another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly with electromagnetic fields unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. They are therefore more energy-efficient and provide precise temperature control. However they require a certain type of pan to function and are costly to set up.

A gas on glass hob is a second option that's a great choice for modern homes. It has a burner underneath a flat glass layer, similar to a standard gas stove. This glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than glass that is tempered. Many of these hobs also include a 'hot-surface indicator', which informs you when the oven is hot.

Gas hobs remain a preferred option for hobs many home cooks however they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They can take a long time to cool down and warm down and their flames can be difficult to manage. Electric hobs on the other hand are more efficient in energy and easy to clean.

There are even electric stoves that are compatible LPG gas. You can switch between different fuels, providing you with the flexibility to fit your lifestyle. It is important to note that these stoves will need to be installed by an approved gas safe engineer. They also require a dedicated cable of 6mm for your kitchen. They are also not suitable for people with pacemakers because the electromagnetic field may interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils run an alternating electric current under the glass surface of an induction best hob. When an induction-compatible plate is placed on the hob the coils create magnetic fields that directly heat the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are very energy efficient, as they don't use any heat.

There are many models of induction stoves from the basic ones with a single zone identified by rings to more advanced multi zoned induction stoves that can have up to 6 zones and allow multiple pots to be cooked in one flex space. Some of these premium models feature a slider control that is similar to the iPhone. Simply slide your finger across the power bar located in the middle to choose the desired heat level left to right boosts heat and right-to-left decreases it. Certain models can even be programmed with settings for specific recipes or food items that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are more efficient in the long term. They can heat faster and have a smaller heating space which could reduce your energy costs. They also cool quicker and feature a safer design with no hot plates, making them perfect for families with children or elderly people living in the house. However, they can create magnetic fields that can affect medical devices, such as pacemakers, so it's important to center your pans over the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your induction hob clean, because food and debris could build up over time. You can either employ a standard oven cleaning product or invest in a specialist one to keep your stove in good condition and shining for longer. Just be sure to never use the abrasive cleaning pads or pads for scouring on your induction hob as they could scratch the surface.
