Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an uncooked surface that is placed over your oven uk to heat your pans and pots. There are several different types of hobs available, including gas, electric and induction.

Things to look out for include rotary, touch and position controls. They allow you to control the heating zones at the touch of a button, and also prevent them from being tripped over easily especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are stylish and function in a modern kitchen. However the glossy surface is prone to scratches and stains from food residues and cooking burnt-on stains. To keep your cooktop looking good and working efficiently, you should maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electric current through coiled components hidden beneath the glass surface that generate heat when they are activated via control knobs. Certain models include a radiant element that emits heat across the glass surface. Other models use halogen elements which are more powerful and heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, making them particularly suitable for quick cook times.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features such as residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is still hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some have child locks to protect children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is crucial to choose the right cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that the pans have a flat bottom, which ensures uniform heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that can cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this could scratch the glass tempered.

To cook with greater flexibility we recommend ceramic hobs that feature dual ring design or 'I-Flex' zone that can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have an oven that is at least 30cm in diameter for it to register). Alternatively, we also offer models that have a booster burner for rapid heating of specific areas or pots, which is great for stir-fry and searing steak. We also have some models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a predetermined time to prevent it from overheating. This is a wonderful security feature that gives you peace of peace of. This function is activated by pressing 'Power on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that use natural gas that is flammable, or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame is used to heat both the cookware and the surrounding air. This allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives additional safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. This elevated construction does require special care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are controlled by hand and lit using a a match. Modern models have an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas flame is lit in a controlled manner. The flame is then controlled by the control knobs which makes it easy to adjust the level of heat according to the need. Based on the model, certain 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 consistent supply of gas which can be a challenge for those who reside in an area that has an unstable or insecure supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to prevent the risk of corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can ensure an efficient installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular, there is still an enormous market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preference and concerns about the environment in addition to local energy prices and availability. This is why it is important to assess the utility costs of your kitchen's infrastructure before choosing a model of hob.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our clients seeking a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans, not an oven or a plate that is heated or burning gas underneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in energy usage. The glass-ceramic surface remains cool to the touch and is easy to wipe down.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are designed to be simpler to clean than gas counterparts. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

Induction cooking requires you to make use of the correct cookware. All pans, including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick and cast iron ones, need a base that is magnetic. 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 range of induction stoves are available, from budget models to top brands that come with a TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob will display the pan's location in full-color when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider lets you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are also clever accessories available, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob using bluetooth to regulate the power exactly.

Induction hobs with a built-in fan can reduce steam, smoke, and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space, as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. Similar to other induction hobs it utilizes magnetic fields with frequencies in the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that indirectly 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 density of magnetic fields for the frequency at which it operates. There are no health risks to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best oven electric hobs are elegant and designed to be compatible with all kitchen styles. They are ideal for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and come with a wide range of options that will suit your cooking needs. Most of them are made from glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in a white or black style. Some models have bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to accommodate larger pans while others include the power boost button to provide additional heat when doing something particularly tricky.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a modern and clean aesthetic that blends well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook fast and offer a high level of safety. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers, and they have an indicator light that stays on when the cooking zone gets hot to the touch. They also work more efficiently since the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air surrounding it.

However, there are some things to bear in mind when choosing an induction hob that will require a particular power supply that is fitted with the correct breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a qualified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need an appropriate set of induction pans to get the best oven uk from them.
