Types of Hobs

A hob, which is also known as stovetop in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans using electric power or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can choose the one that is best ovens and hobs uk suited to your kitchen and your style.

Induction hobs come with flat ceramic surfaces and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are sleek and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek design. They have a flat glass ceramic surface that is easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters are quickly wiped away. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your energy bills. Ceramic hobs can be slow in changing temperature settings. This can be a hassle when you have to cook something that requires a quick decrease or an increase in the heat.

Electric hobs are made of an uncooked plate that is heated by electric elements under. The power of each element can be individually adjusted by rotary knobs. You can use the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a certain area. Ceramic hobs also have a very high heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch even after being turned off. This could be a problem when you have children, so it's best to place them in an area that is away from flammable objects and not within reach of little ones.

This kind of hob is able to be mounted on a variety of worktops such as laminate, solid hardwood and granite. It's also fairly affordable and is a great alternative if you're looking to replace your old hobs without spending too much money. As with all appliances, they need to be installed correctly and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that the new hobs are safe to use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to the pan's size and shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that is either the exact dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each of the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware is not the same size as the element, the element will not recognize it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in inconsistent results in cooking and makes the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer an elegant, modern look. Although they may cost more than electric models and may require professional installation, they usually take less time to heat up. It's not uncommon for a full pan of water to be boiling in four minutes or less. This kind of stove is also a great choice for cooks who want to limit the amount of heat generated. However, it must be not forgotten that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel ones and may require cleaning more often, as the build-up of grease and residue tends to remain instead of slipping off.

This Bertazzoni hob is an excellent example of gas on glass. It has four monobloc burners in matt black with metal control knobs for a stylish, sophisticated appearance. The wok ring has a power of 4kW to allow for more versatility and the pan supports are dishwasher-safe.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob that combines an attractive slab of toughened glass with advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design to the left side of the gas hob features an inner burner that doubles to improve the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking. It also has an easy-to-read power indicator that lets you control the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine preset settings, including the highest setting for sear steaks and a low one for scrambled eggs.

The simple and easy-to-use controls were also appreciated by our testers, who found them to be very simple to use. Some minor drawbacks are that you have to press the controls nine more times before reaching the maximum heating level, and that the glass can make it difficult to see what the burners are doing.

This Neff model is one of the best gas-on-glass Hobs Oven available at an affordable price. While it's not going to win any design awards but it can do the job well and can be an ideal addition to your kitchen for just over 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are perfect for modern homes. They're not just elegant and stylish, but also faster, safer and more efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most popular electric hobs is a ceramic hob. These hobs have an elegant glazed finish and have an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost function that allows you to increase the temperature of your stove for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs cook your food directly by using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. This means they are more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. They require a specific kind of pan and could be expensive to put in.

A gas-on-glass hob is another option that is a good option for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob, it comes with a burner beneath the glass is a flat layer. However it's shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much simpler to clean than glass that's tempered. A lot of these hobs uk have a 'hot surface indicator' that warns you when the hob is hot.

While gas hobs remain an option for many home cooks but they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and takes a long time to warm up and cool down. Electric hobs, on the other hand are more efficient in energy use and easy to clean.

You can even find electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, meaning you'll be able to fit your needs. But, it's important to note that these hobs must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and will require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. They are also not suitable for people with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Induction hobs

Copper coils run an electric current that is alternating beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob the coils create magnetic fields that create heat directly inside the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs very efficient from a energy point of view because there's no leftover heat that is wasted.

There are a myriad of models of induction stoves from the basic entry-level ones with a single zone marked by rings, to more advanced multi zoned induction stoves with up to 6 zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked within a flex area. Some of these models feature the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. Simply slide your finger across the power bar in the middle to select the desired heat level left to right increases the heat and right to left decreases it. Some models have pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types 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 area which could reduce your energy bills. They cool down faster and are more secure without hot plates. This makes them perfect for families that have children or elderly residents. However, they do produce a magnetic field which could cause interference with medical devices like pacemakers therefore it is essential to center your pans on the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

As with all electric hobs you will have to clean your induction hob frequently, since food and debris can accumulate over time. You can either employ a standard oven and hob cleaning product or invest in a professional one to keep your hob in good condition and shining for a longer time. Be sure to not use scrubbers or pads for scouring on your induction hob as they can scratch the surface.
