The features to look for include touch, rotary and controls for position. They allow you to control the heating zones with the click of a button and prevent them from being easily knocked over especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a fantastic choice for modern kitchens, mixing style and function. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. Keeping your hob clean with regular maintenance and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is key to keeping it in good shape and functioning efficiently.

Hobs of this kind are heated by transferring an electrical current through coiled metal elements which are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are turned on using control knobs. Some models have an element that emits heat to the glass's surface. Others employ halogen elements, which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface area in multiple pulses, making them especially suitable for quick cook times.

Certain ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, like a residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface is hot to the touch. This helps prevent burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks to prevent children from accidentally changing the settings.

It is essential to select the correct cookware for your ceramic stove. This ensures that your pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that can cause under or overcooked food. Also, avoid dragging pans across the surface since this could scratch the glass.

To allow for greater flexibility in cooking it is recommended to use ceramic hobs with a dual ring design or 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate either two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have a minimum 30cm sized pan in order for it to register). Alternatively, we also offer models equipped with a booster burner to allow rapid heating of specific areas or pots - great for stir-fry and searing steak. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off feature that shuts off the hob at a predetermined time to prevent it from overheating. This is a great safety feature that will give you peace of peace of. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel if you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a preset period of time.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves, or gas cookers, are kitchen appliances that utilize natural gas that is flammable, or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame is used to heat both the cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob provides added security by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame, eliminating the risk of burns. However, this elevated construction requires particular attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is lit with an igniter or a pilot light and the burners are controlled manually. Modern models have an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can then be controlled through the control knobs making it easy to adjust the level of heat as needed. Based on the model, certain gas hobs are also equipped with multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

One of the biggest downsides to a gas hob is that it requires a consistent supply of gas, which can be a challenge if you reside in an area with intermittent or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to avoid leaks and corrosion. For these reasons, it is crucial to install a gas stove only after consulting with an approved Gas Safe fitter who will provide professional installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are gaining popularity however, there is a substantial market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, in addition to local prices for energy and availability. Therefore, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Induction hobs uk

Induction hobs have become a favorite among our clients who are looking for an elegant, sleek kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, instead of a heated surface or burning gas underneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface are copper coils which create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the cooker or pan itself. This is much faster than traditional gas stoves and is more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to feel and easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, induction ones are designed to be simpler to clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob clean as new, all you require is a dampened cloth.

A range of induction stoves are available, from budget models to premium brands with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob and oven will display the pan's position in full-color when it is in a power zone. A control button or slider lets you to change the power setting or set a timer. There are also clever accessories that are available, like pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob through bluetooth to regulate the power exactly.

One of our most sought-after models is an induction hob with an integrated extractor fan that helps to 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. Like other induction hobs and ovens it makes use of magnetic fields that operate within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that is absorbed by the contents of your pan. In normal operation at a distance of five to ten 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 expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs are sleek and designed to match all kitchen styles. They are ideal for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and are available with a range of options that can meet your cooking requirements.

Induction hobs are increasing in popularity due to their clean and modern aesthetic which fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook fast and offer a high degree of security. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers and come with an indicator light that remains on when the cooking zone gets hot to the touch. They also are more efficient since the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.

However, there are things to consider when choosing an induction cooker that will require a particular power supply with the correct breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll need to purchase a set compatible induction pans to get the most value from them. They may cost more because they use more energy.
