Electric hobs feature a flat ceramic surface and heated elements underneath. They can be found in a variety of sizes and come with four to six cooking zones. Each zone has a separate heating element that you can control separately. This allows you to boil potatoes on one ring while cooking sausages in another. This type of hob can be more efficient than gas and provides a child-safe alternative since the cooking area only heats up when you place a pan on it.

Traditional ceramic hobs are an extremely convenient alternative to electric and gas and are a fashionable option. They have a smooth, hard-wearing surface which is easy to clean, but they aren't as fast at responding to temperature changes like other hobs and can be slower to cool down.

Domino hobs are an alternative to electric and gas hobs that combine ovens below the cooking surface. They can be incorporated into smaller kitchens that have little space for installation and are ideal for flats and kitchenettes. They are usually more affordable than standard hobs, and can be energy efficient, but they can also be fragile and require greater maintenance.

Gas

A traditional gas stove is equipped with a variety of burners. The majority of them are four burners, however it can be up to six. These are ignited with either a match or by turning a knob. The flames are controlled by a set of valves which can be adjusted to regulate the temperature.

However, the majority of modern gas hobs that have built-in gas burners feature multi-flame burners that allow you to regulate the outer and inner ring of each burner to manage your cooking. These kinds of burners offer faster heat up times and are more reliable than the older models.

Traditionally, it was necessary to keep a gas stove on constantly to ensure that the burners were always hot and fueled. This was to avoid accidents, for example, the mistake of turning on an oven when the stove is still lit by an igniter or a match. Modern cookers have been designed with safety as a priority. They are fitted with a device to stop the flame that shuts off the burners when the pilot light fails to work.

Electricity

When it comes time to design your perfect kitchen the kitchen worktops, fridge freezer, and ovens will always get the most attention but a quality hob is equally important. Whether you opt for a conventional, induction or gas cooker the type of hob you select can impact how your kitchen functions and how easy it is to clean.

Electric hobs use heating elements under a smooth glass surface that's typically cleaned with an non-abrasive cleaner. The heating elements are activated when you switch on the hob and can be adjusted to various power levels using a control knob. They may take longer to heat up than a gas cooker, but once they have done so, they usually provide more regular temperature control. They are equipped with indicators that tell you whether a particular area is hot or not.

They are available in four to six different sizes and can be notch-up to different power levels. They are ideal for flat-based cookware, but not for cast iron pans, because they could overheat. Some models (such as Belling BELCH602T) have dual-ring designs which allow you to cook sausages and boil water on the same ring. Some even include a boost function that concentrates the power of high-powered heat into a single ring for stir fry cooking, searing meat or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs are different from conventional electric hobs because they make use of electromagnetic fields instead of traditional gas flames to heat your cookware. They can reach precise temperatures more quickly and are more energy efficient. They have a cool to the touch surface as well as flashing indicators that indicate if a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramic is an element that can be used to create functional or decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders, and water, before firing it in a high temperature oven, also known as Kiln. Once it's made it is then covered with paint-like or decorative substances to add color and texture.

Ceramic hobs are an exquisite combination of form and function and can be found in any modern kitchen. Radiant heating technology is employed to heat the ceramic hobs through the passage of an electric current through coiled elements which are hidden beneath the black glass surface. When they are activated, they create heat that is then transferred to your pan by an infrared system. You can alter the level of heating by turning the knobs or the touch controls.

Certain ceramic hobs have dual ring designs, with one smaller and a larger cooking zone which allows you to select the best ovens uk size for your pan. There are hobs that have boosters that create high-powered heat quickly. This is great for cooking food and bringing pans to a boil quickly.

Ceramic cooktops are more efficient in energy than other types of hobs due to the fact that they take longer to heat up and switch temperatures. There are vented hobs that integrate a ventilation system into the cooktop's ceramic, making sure that the cooking smells don't stay within your home.

Induction

The heating elements inside the induction hobs are copper wire coils beneath the surface, which create electromagnets that heat the pans sat on them. The coils stir up free electrons inside the base metal of your pan which in turn, distributes heat evenly to your food. The surface of the hob never gets hot and, the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones are turned off automatically.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive than other models, but they're also faster to heat and use 30-70 percent less energy than gas or ceramic hobs. They are also easier to clean, since the surface of the hob doesn't get hot and only the contents of your pan do.

Certain manufacturers offer a specific induction model that comes with additional features such as a pause feature that shuts off the power to your stove when you leave it, or connect two cooking rings simultaneously at the same power level for greater flexibility. These are often called FlexInduction hobs. They can be more expensive than traditional induction models, but they're worth considering if you prefer to multitask.

This induction hob is our top pick. It has four large cooking zones with a Bridge function and nine power settings, which gives you a lot of options for ambitious cooks. It did well in our test with fast heating and precise control when making pancakes. The oven also has dishwasher built-in and an automatic pan detection feature to make cleaning simpler. The only problem is that there are only a few compatible pans that can use it to cook with the utensils that have magnetic bases. This can be a problem if you have a lot of cookware that's not compatible, or only a small portion of it is compatible with induction hobs.
