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 several different types of hobs, so you can pick one that is best suited to your preferences and kitchen.

Induction Hobs oven feature flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and include five or four zones for heating your pans. The modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs have an elegant and contemporary look which can greatly enhance the overall appearance of your kitchen. They have a flat glass ceramic surface that's easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters are quickly wiped away. They are fast to heat up and are energy-efficient, which can reduce the cost of electricity. Ceramic hobs can be slow when changing the temperature settings. This can be frustrating when you have to cook something that requires a rapid reduction or increase of heat.

Electric hobs consist of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. The elements can be controlled separately with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the level of power you require. You can even use the 'boost' feature in order to boost the heat of a single zone. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being turned off.

Like 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.

This type of hob is sensitive to the pan's size and shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that's either the exact dimensions as the element or that will fit comfortably inside each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware doesn't fit the element, it won't recognize it and won't start to heat up the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and will make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have an elegant, modern look. Although they may cost more than electric models and may require professional installation, they typically take less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to boil within four minutes or less. This kind of hob is a great choice for cooks who wish to control how much heat is produced. Glass hobs are more susceptible to damage and require more frequent cleaning because they tend to accumulate grease and residue.

One of the best ovens uk examples of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four matt black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs for a an elegant and sophisticated appearance. The wok ring is 4kW for additional versatility, and the pan supports are dishwasher-proof.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which combines an attractive slab of toughened glass with advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design to the left side of the gas hob has a double inner burner to increase the distribution of heat and speed up cooking. It also features an indicator for power that lets you control the exact temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-set settings, like a high setting to sear steaks and a low one for scrambled eggs.

The simple, yet intuitive controls were also well liked by our testers, who found them to be very easy to use. Some minor issues include the fact that you must physically press the controls nine times to reach the highest heating level and it can be difficult to see the status of the burners through the glass.

Electric hobs

There are a number of electric hobs that are perfect for modern households. They are not only sleek and stylish, but also faster, safer and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

They're also typically equipped with a power boost feature that allows you to increase the heat of your hob for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes is an induction hob. As opposed to traditional gas and electric plate hobs that use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. This means they are more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. However they require a certain kind of pan to work and are costly to set up.

Gas on glass hobs are another great option for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob, it has an oven that is surrounded by a layer of flat glass. However the glass is heatproof ovens and hobs uk shatterproof, so it's much easier to clean than standard glass that's tempered. A lot of these hobs have a "hot surface indicator" that alerts you to the heat.

While gas hobs are still an option for many home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and take an extended time to warm up and cool down. Electric hobs, on other side are more energy efficient and easy to clean.

It's important to keep in mind that these hobs uk must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and will require a 6mm cable for your kitchen. They're not suitable for people with pacemakers, since the electromagnetic field could cause interference with them.

Induction hobs

Copper coils conduct an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction compatible pan is placed on the hob, the coils create magnetic fields which heat the pan directly rather than heating a surface of the worktop or a heated plate. This makes induction hobs extremely efficient from a energy standpoint, as there's no residual heat being wasted.

There are many different models of induction hob that range from basic ones that have only one cooking zone marked by rings to more advanced multi-zoned hobs that have up to six zones, allowing the cooking of multiple pots at once on a flexible zone.
