Types of Hobs

A hob (known as a stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans using electricity or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can pick the one that is best suited to your kitchen and style.

Induction Hobs Oven come with an elongated ceramic cooking surface and include five or four zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are elegant and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek look. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and can easily be wiped down when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient and can help reduce your energy bills. Ceramic hobs aren't always fast when changing temperature settings. This can be frustrating when you need to cook something that requires a rapid reduction or increase of heat.

Electric hobs are made up of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be individually adjusted via rotating knobs. You can use the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a specific area. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch after being shut off. It's important to install ceramic hobs in a location that is far from flammable items and away from children's reach.

This kind of hob can be used on a variety of worktops, including laminate and solid hardwood as well as granite. It's also fairly affordable and is a great option if you're looking to replace your old hobs, but without spending a lot of money. As with any appliance, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that your new hobs are safe to use.

The drawback of this kind of hob is that it's very sensitive to the size of the pan and shape. You'll need to buy cookware that's exactly the same size as the element, or that is able to fit in the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware doesn't match the element, it won't recognize it and will not begin to heat the bottom of the pan. This can result in cooking that is uneven and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have modern, sleek design. Although they may be more expensive than electric models and require professional installation, they often take less time to heat up. It's not unusual for a full pan of water to come to a boil within four minutes or less. This type of hob and oven also is a great choice for cooks who wish to limit the amount of heat is generated. Glass hobs are more susceptible to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they are more likely to accumulate grease and residue.

One of the best hob examples of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs that create a an elegant and sophisticated look. The wok ring has a power of 4kW for additional versatility, and the pan supports are dishwasher-safe.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which combines the look of a sleek slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design on the left of the gas hob provides two burners inside to improve the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking. It also features a handy power indicator that helps you to control the precise temperature of the flame. You can choose from nine pre-defined settings including a high setting for searing a steak and the low setting for scrambled eggs.

Our test participants also liked the controls, as they were simple and intuitive. Some minor disadvantages are the fact that you need to physically press the controls nine times to reach the highest temperature and it can be difficult to see the state of the burners through the glass.

This Neff model is among the best gas-on-glass hobs available at an affordable price. While it's unlikely to be a winner of any design awards, it does the job well and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen for just over PS120.

Electric hobs

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

One of the most well-known electric hobs is a ceramic hob. They're designed with a sleek, glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to smudges and scratches. These hobs also come with a power booster function that allows you to increase your heat for a short time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob perfect for modern homes. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly by using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. They are therefore more energy efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a special kind of pan and can be costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a great alternative for modern homes. Similar to a traditional gas hob, it features a burner beneath a layer of flat glass. However it's shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much easier to clean than the typical tempered glass. A majority of these hobs come with a 'hot surface indicator' that warns you when the hob is heated.

Gas hobs remain a popular choice for many home chefs however they can be noisy and hard to clean. They also take a while to cool down and warm down, and their flame can be difficult to manage. In contrast electric hobs are energy-efficient and simpler to clean.

For the ultimate in modern efficiency, you can even find electric hobs compatible with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between various fuel sources, so you'll be able to fit your needs. It's important to keep in mind that these hobs must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and will require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. They're not suitable for people who have pacemakers as the electromagnetic field may cause interference with them.

Induction hobs

Beneath the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils which run an electrical current that varies. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the hob, the coils generate magnetic fields which heat the pan directly rather than heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are extremely efficient from an energy perspective since there's no heat being wasted.

There are a variety of models of induction stoves from the basic ones with a single zone marked by rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction stoves with up to six zones that allow multiple pots to cook simultaneously within a flex area. Some of these premium models come with a touch slider control that resembles to the way you operate an iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Certain models have preset settings for certain food items or recipes which can help you save time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are more energy efficient in the long term. They can heat faster and have a smaller heating area which can lower the cost of energy. They cool down faster and also have a safer design without hot plates. This makes them ideal for families that have elderly or children. However, they create magnetic fields that can affect medical devices such as pacemakers so it is important to place 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 on a regular basis, as food particles and other debris can build up over time. You can either use a standard oven with hob cleaning product or invest in a specialist one to keep your hob in good condition and shiny for longer. Just be sure to never use the abrasive cleaning pads or scouring pads on your induction hob as they could scratch the surface.
