Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen, and there are many different choices available. We have a range of cooking rings from four to six, with some with additional features, such as pan supports.

They are able to heat up and cool down quickly, with even cooking surface temperature. Professional chefs usually prefer them due to their being easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A very popular option, gas hobs come with burner rings and an grate that pots and pans are placed on. They heat quickly and offer precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric ones because they use a natural gas supply.

They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes create an elegant and contemporary look, which can complement any kitchen design. They are susceptible to burning and scratches, so you should be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your hob's pristine condition, especially if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the burner caps and grates to clean them more thoroughly, by taking them out of the soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn stain without damaging the surface.

Built-in gas hobs provide an elegant appearance, in contrast to traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be mounted on a separate foundation, so they are easy to move when you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot work and a professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

As with other cooktops, gas hobs come with a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional white and oven hob black to modern glossy glass. Some even come in a stunning blue or green colour to add a splash of individuality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been used for many years. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. To prevent any accidents, it's essential to adhere to safety rules and ensure proper ventilation.

Another advantage of gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply once the flame of the burner goes out. This can prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have an elegant, modern look and they're relatively quick to warm up and clean. They come in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square shapes, so there's one that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators which shut off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can help minimise the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is particularly beneficial if you have young children.

However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. It is worse when you drag the pots across rather than lifting them using their handles. We suggest that you use extra care when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs since they could damage the surface.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic cooktop is that it can take longer than induction or gas to cool down. This could be a problem if you are working in a bustling, packed kitchen or need to swiftly switch from one cooking zone to another. However, many manufacturers have worked on this and now offer various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30 percent.

Induction ovens hobs

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. Induction hobs are extremely hygienic and safe, and they don't store any heat in the cooking zone. However, they can be expensive.

Hobs Induction

A popular choice for kitchen remodeling Induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated instead of the ceramic or glass surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They also cool faster than traditional hobs, so they're easier to keep clean.

Beneath the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils which an alternating electrical current runs through. When a compatible pan is placed on the cooking zone the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently as there's no heat loss from the pan itself.

A lot of induction hobs have a wide range of features, so you'll find one to suit your style. If you want something easy to use, select a model with a touchscreen display that shows the pan's location within each of its zones. You can then touch the display to open the menu for operation that is extensive and change the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to suit certain food recipes or types. This is an excellent way to cut down on time when cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered one of the most energy efficient cooktops, as they produce no residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. They can interfere with medical devices like pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We recommend choosing a premium induction stove with an integrated extractor. This removes steam, smoke and odours from the air as you cook, so it can be used with a greater selection of cooking equipment. You'll also get better price for your money if opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to accommodate larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option if you're looking for an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to hard-wearing stains. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their conventional ceramic coating. To clean any food residues, you can employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that can scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Stylish and oven hob practical electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can easily be fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them a perfect option for busy families.

In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that floats through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is on the top. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use as they can be turned off when not in use.

It is important to keep in mind that not all hobs come with the same features. Some are more advanced than others, with features like an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display that clearly displays the power level, temperature and cooking times. Certain models also come with an increase function that boosts the speed of the element for additional power.

Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it cleaner than a traditional gas model. Spills and splatters can easily be removed without needing to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.

These features make electric hobs an ideal choice for families, it's worth bearing in mind that if have a pacemaker fitted you can't use this type of cooker as its electromagnetic field can interfere with your device.
