Types of Hobs

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

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

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern look that can improve the overall look of your kitchen. They have a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to lower your electric bill. Ceramic hobs aren't always fast when changing the temperature settings. This can be a hassle when you have to cook something that requires a quick reduction or increase of the heat.

Electric hobs are made up of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be individually adjusted through rotary knobs. You can even use the 'boost' feature in order to boost the heat of a single zone. Ceramic hobs also have very high heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch even after being shut off. It's important to install ceramic hobs in an area that is away from flammable items and out of reach of children.

This kind of hob can be used on a variety of worktops, including laminate, solid hardwood and granite. It is also relatively affordable and is a great option for those looking to replace your previous hobs, but without spending a lot of money. However, like all appliances they must be properly installed and connected to the mains, and we recommend hiring an electrician professional to ensure that the new hobs are safe to use.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. You'll need cookware that is either the exact same dimensions as the element or that will fit comfortably inside each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware isn't the same dimensions as the element, the element won't recognize it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have modern, sleek design. They are more expensive than electric hobs, and may require professional installations. However they are also more efficient in heating as an entire pot of water will typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This kind of hob is a great choice for cooks who need to limit the amount of heat is generated. However, it must be observed that a glass-based hob is more prone to damage than stainless steel ones and will likely require cleaning more often, since grease and residue build up tends to stick instead of slipping off.

A fantastic example of a gas on glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, that has four matt black monobloc burners that have precise metal control knobs for a a stylish and sophisticated finish. It also comes with the wok ring that has 4kW for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe, making them easier to keep clean.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It combines a fashionable piece of toughened glass and modern cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob provides a double inner burner to increase the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking. It also has an easy-to-read power indicator that lets you control the exact temperature of the flame. You can select from nine preset settings, including high settings to sear steaks and a low one for scrambled eggs.

The simple and intuitive controls were liked by our testers, who found them to be very simple to use. A few minor drawbacks are that you need to physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest level of heating, and that it can be difficult to see the state of the burners through the glass.

This Neff model is among the top gas-on glass hobs available at an affordable price. It's not likely to win any design prizes however it's going to do the job and can be a great addition to your kitchen at just above 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

There are many electric hobs that are perfect for modern homes. Not only do they offer an elegant design that blends into the rest of your kitchen and are also equipped with advanced functionality that is safer, faster and more efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.

One of the most popular electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. They are designed with 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 heat of your cooker for a brief period of time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes. Induction Hobs Oven heat cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional gas and electric plates. They are therefore more energy-efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a specific type of pan and could be expensive to put in.

Hobs made of glass that are gas-powered are another great option for modern homes. It is equipped with a burner under a flat glass layer, similar to a standard gas stove. However it's shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much easier to clean than the typical glass that's tempered. A lot of these hobs are equipped with the "hot surface indicator" that alerts you to the temperature.

Gas hobs are a popular choice for a lot of home cooks however they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and takes a long time to get hot and cool off. However, electric hobs are more energy-efficient and simpler to clean.

There are even electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, so you'll be able to suit your lifestyle. It's important to note that these stoves will need to be installed by an approved gas safe engineer and will require a dedicated cable of 6mm to be installed in your kitchen. They are also not suitable for those who have pacemakers as the electromagnetic field may interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

On the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils that generate an electrical current that varies. When an induction-compatible dish is placed on a hob, the coils generate magnetic fields that produce heat directly inside the pan, rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs extremely efficient from a energy point of view because there's no leftover heat being wasted.

There are a variety of models of induction stoves, starting with the basic models with a single zone marked by rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction stoves that can have up to six zones and allow multiple pots to be cooked in one flex space. Certain models come with an adjustable slider control similar to the iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar in the middle. Certain models have preset settings for specific food items or recipes that can cut down time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are more efficient in the long term. They heat up faster and have a smaller heating area which could reduce the cost of energy. They cool down faster, and they have a safer design without hot plates. This makes them perfect for families that have children or elderly residents. They do, however, create magnetic forces that can interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore important to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your electric hob clean, as food and debris can build up over time. You can use a regular oven with hob cleaner, or invest in a specialist product to keep your stove shiny and in good condition for longer. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning product or scratching pads on your induction stove since they could scratch the surface.
