Types of Hobs

A hob, which is also known as stovetops in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans with electric or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can pick the one that is best oven uk suited to your kitchen and style.

Induction hobs come with a flat ceramic surface and four or five zones to heat your pans. The modern touch-operated designs look sleek and elegant and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs provide an elegant and contemporary look that can really enhance the overall appearance of your kitchen. They have a flat glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters can be quickly cleaned. They heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can reduce your electric bill. However, one downside of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow in changing the temperature which can be a problem if you're cooking something that requires an instant reduction or increase in temperature.

Electric hobs Oven use a solid plate that is heated by electric elements underneath. The power of each element can be adjusted through the rotary knobs. You can even utilize the 'boost' feature in order to increase the heat of a single zone. Ceramic hobs retain heat very well, and even after they have been turned off, they will be hot to the touch. This can be a challenge if you have children, so it's best to install them in an area that is away from flammable objects and away from little ones.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be set up in a variety of worktops, such as laminate or solid wood, as well as granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent alternative if you're trying to replace your old hobs without spending too much money. However, just like any other appliance, they need to be properly installed and connected to the mains, and we would recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure that the new hobs are safe for use.

The drawback of this kind of hob is that it's extremely sensitive to pan size and shape. You will need to purchase cookware that is exactly the same as the element or fits comfortably in all of the heating zones. If the cookware doesn't fit, then the element will not recognize it and will not begin to heat up the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and will make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have an elegant, modern look. They are more expensive than electric models, and require professional installation. However they heat up faster as an entire pot of water will typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This type of stove is ideal for cooks who wish to control how much heat is generated. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning because they are more likely to accumulate grease and sludge.

A great example of a gas on glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four matt black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs to create an elegant and sophisticated look. The wok ring is 4kW for additional versatility, and the pan supports are dishwasher safe.

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

The simple and intuitive controls were loved by our test subjects, who found them to be very easy to use. A few minor issues are that you need to press the controls nine times before reaching the maximum heating level and that the glass can make it difficult to see what the burners are doing.

Some of the top gas-on-glass hobs are available for affordable prices, such as this Neff model. It's not going to win any design awards but it'll do the job and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen for just above PS120.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are perfect for modern homes. They are not only sleek and stylish, they are they are also safer, faster and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most well-known electric stoves. These hobs are designed with 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 function, which allows you to increase the heat of your cooker for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. In contrast to traditional electric and gas plate hobs that use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. They are therefore more energy-efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a specific type of pan and can be costly to install.

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

Although gas hobs are a popular option for many home cooks but they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They also take a while to warm up and cool down and their flames can be hard to control. In contrast, electric hobs are more efficient in terms of energy consumption and are easier to clean.

To achieve the highest level of modern technology You can also find electric stoves that are compatible with LPG gas. You can switch between different fuels, giving you the flexibility to fit your lifestyle. But, it's important to keep in mind that these stoves must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and will require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. They're also not suitable for those with pacemakers, as the electromagnetic field could cause interference with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils create an alternating electric current under the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on a hob, the coils produce magnetic fields that produce heat directly inside the pan, rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are very efficient in terms of energy efficiency, since they don't squander heat.

There are many different models of an induction hob starting from basic ones with one cooking zone that is marked by rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs with up to six zones, allowing you to cook several pots at once on a Flex zone. Some of these premium models feature a slider control that is similar to the iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by moving your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Some models have pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food items that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs do tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs and ovens, but they are thought to be more efficient over the long term as they heat up much faster and use a smaller space for heating up which can help you save on energy bills. They cool faster, and they are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them a great choice for families that have children or elderly people. However, they do generate magnetic forces that can cause interference with certain medical devices like pacemakers. It is therefore crucial to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on larger burners.

Like all electric hobs you'll need to keep your induction hob clean because food and debris could accumulate over time. You can use an oven cleaner, or you can invest in a specialist product to help keep your hob shiny and in good condition for a longer time. Be sure to not use the abrasive cleaning pads or pads to scour your induction hob as they could scratch the surface.
