Types of Oven Hob

A hob is flat cooking surface that sits above your best oven to cook your pans and pots. There are many different kinds of hob such as electric, gas, and induction.

Find features such as buttons that rotate, touch or position controls. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing one button. They also protect them from being smashed down easily, particularly if they are used by children.

Ceramic best hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface can be damaged by food residues and scratches. Cleaning your stove with regular maintenance and avoiding using scrubbers or abrasive cleaners is essential to keep it looking good and working efficiently.

The hobs of this type are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal elements which are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements generate heat when they are turned on using control knobs. Some models have an element that radiates, which emits heat through the glass surface. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and will heat the entire surface area in multiple pulses, which makes them suitable for quick cook times.

A lot of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators that warn you when the surface remains hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

To ensure optimal performance, it is essential to select the right cookware for your ceramic cooktop. It is crucial that your pans have flat bottoms, because this ensures even heating and prevents hot spots which can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. It is also important to avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the glass.

For greater flexibility when cooking we recommend ceramic hobs that feature dual ring designs or an 'I-Flex' zone that can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have at least a 30cm-wide pan to allow it to register). There are models that have a booster heater for rapid heating in specific areas or pans. This is perfect for stir-fry or searing steak. We also have models that have an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a set time to avoid overheating. This is a helpful security feature to have in place for peace of mind. This feature is typically activated by pressing the "Power button' on the control panel if you have an appliance set up to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a set period of time.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, often called gas stove or gas cooker, is a kitchen appliance that uses flammable natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame heats cookware and the air around it which allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides extra security by preventing your body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. However, this design requires a special care when cleaning and using the hob to avoid spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled by hand and lit using a a match. More recent models feature an automatic igniter, which ensures that the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the level of heat. Depending on the model, some gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which could be a problem if you live in an area with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Hobs made of gas should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can guarantee an efficient installation and follow strict safety guidelines.

While induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular but there is a substantial market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is due to consumer preference and concerns about the environment, as well as local energy prices and availability. This is why it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers looking for an elegant and sleek kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans, instead of the surface being heated or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are located beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An alternating electric current is passed through them. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils locate its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to touch and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be easier than gas hobs to wash. A simple wipe with an damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

The primary drawback with induction cooking is that you must possess the appropriate cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick pans are all compatible however they require an induction-compatible magnetic base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

There are a range of induction hobs and ovens available, from budget models up to premium brands that have a TFT display with an extensive menu of operating options. The hob will display the pan's position on a full-color display when it is in the power zone. A control button or slider allows you to alter the power setting or set a clock. There are also smart accessories that are available, like pan sensors that attach to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob using bluetooth to control the power precisely.

Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce steam, smoke, and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with a limited space since it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It makes use of magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that indirectly affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, at an interval of 5-10 centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value of the magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs have a a sleek finish and are designed to match all kitchen styles. These are great for those who prefer touch controls to dials, and are available with a range of options to meet your cooking needs. The majority of these are made from glass, which is easy-to-clean and elegant in a white or black design. Some models feature bridge features that allow you to connect two zones to fit larger pans while others come with an additional power boost button to provide extra heat for difficult tasks.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they offer a clean and modern aesthetic which is in keeping with modern kitchen designs. They cook fast ovens and hobs provide a high degree of security. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers and come with an indicator light that stays on when the cooking zone becomes hot to touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat inside the pan and doesn't heat the air around you.

However, there are some things to consider when selecting an induction hob which is that most require a power supply that is fitted with the right breakers and cables, so we'd suggest having your electric hob installed by a qualified electrician. Induction best hobs are expensive and you'll need to purchase a set compatible induction pans if you want to get the most benefit from them. They are more expensive due to the fact that they consume more energy.
