They're also safe and come with built-in flame fail safety systems that cut off the gas supply if there is an issue with the gas. They are less efficient than induction or electrical hobs, and they are harder to clean because of the pan's support and stove burners.

Plate hobs have been in use since decades. They have a flat surface with gas or electric rings that are heated when you turn the dial. They are affordable, but not ideal for cast-iron cookware, and they don't evenly distribute heat over the entire surface.

Induction hobs utilize an electromagnetic field to heat your pan - instead of heating the surface as traditional hobs do. They are safer than gas, as they don't have an open flames and are easy to wipe clean. They're also more expensive than electric or gas hobs and may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Gas hobs

A gas stove is a popular option for home cooks due to its quick heating functionality and easy control. You will typically find models that have between two and six burners. Some models have a wok-burner designed for stir-fry cooking. Some hobs come with a visual indicator that informs you whether the burner is running or not.

There are gas hobs that are freestanding or built-in models. If you're planning to redesign your kitchen, freestanding models are more suitable since they can be moved easily. They can be difficult to put in and could require you to cut into your finished carpentry. This isn't the best choice for every home.

Some even have touch-sensitive controls and an energy boost feature that lets you boost the intensity of a specific burner by as much as 50%, so you can bring a pot of water to the boiling point in no time.

Some gas hobs have an automatic safety feature that shuts off gas supply when the flame has gone out. This way, you don't have to worry about accidentally setting off the fire. Gas hobs can be cheaper to run than electric ones, and permit precise temperature control.

Gas hobs release carbon dioxide when they burn. This could be a problem for environmentally conscious customers. Fortunately, there are models available that don't emit any CO2 whatsoever when they're being used. These gas hobs that are zero-emission or eco-friendly gas stoves', have all the features of a traditional gas stove, but emits zero CO2.

Electric hobs

A favorite option for kitchens of every style electric hobs have many advantages over other kinds of cooker. Electric hobs heat up and cool off faster than gas hobs. This means that less residual heat is left after the cookware is removed. They also heat more evenly and are less likely to have hot spots than some gas models. Being electric, they also require less maintenance and are much cheaper to run than gas.

Ceramic or glass electric hobs are often found in modern kitchens. They are sleek and stylish appearance that is easy to clean. They are also safe to touch. They're also a good choice for families with children as their flat surface is less likely to be damaged by heavy pans. They are also relatively inexpensive to run and are able to be repaired when damaged.

As opposed to traditional plate hobs which make use of coils to generate heat that is then transferred to the cookware, ceramic hobs use an induction system to heat directly the pan. They are able to heat and cool faster and can be used for any cookware. They're generally more expensive than electric plate hobs but they'll save you money on energy costs in the long run because of their high efficiency and the way they convert nearly all electrical energy into usable heat.

Despite their simple design, it's crucial to maintain your ceramic or glass hob to prevent any issues. Cleaning the cooktop using non-abrasive cleaners is highly recommended, as is making sure to replace any faulty heating controls and cleaning out grates or burner caps regularly. It is also essential to keep an eye out for any signs of gas odour since it could indicate a problem with the gas lines or a gas leak. If you suspect this, it's recommended to speak with a professional gas engineer for assistance. Always make sure that the hob has cooled completely prior to cleaning it in order to avoid any serious damage. This will also prevent any accidental fires or spills!

Induction hobs

The modern alternative to traditional electric and gas hobs, induction cookers utilize an electric field to heat the pan itself rather than the cooktop. This allows them to heat up much more quickly than other hobs and can help save energy in the long run. They are also safer to use as the cooktop's surface remains cool to the touch, and many have safety features, such as an automatic shut-offs to prevent accidents.

Induction hobs are usually ceramic or glass with an alternating current that creates a magnetic field to heat. A pan that is induction-compatible must be flat on the bottom and an iron or steel core, and the magnetic field is only activated when the pan is placed on the cooking zone. The majority of hobs have a 'bridging zone' which allows two zones to be joined to allow for larger pans.

Induction hobs are known for efficiency. Many people report reductions in their overall energy bills when they change to one. They are also thought to be safer as the cooktop's surface remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns. Additionally, it only heating the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs which can get very hot.

The majority of induction hobs have different types of controls, the most basic being the simple power bar or touch mark on the surface of the hob, or an entirely functional TFT display which displays all the options, and lets you change power levels or set timers. The more advanced models of induction hobs include lots of small copper coils, tightly connected beneath the cooktop, and the magnet underneath each one will detect the moment you place your pan. It then activates the required coil to suit the pan size and shape.
