Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a great option for modern kitchens, combining style and functionality. However the glossy surface is susceptible to stains and scratches caused by cooking and food residues that are burned on. To keep your cooktop looking well-maintained and operating efficiently, you should maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pad.

These hobs are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface, which generate heat when activated via control knobs. Certain models feature a radiant element, which emits heat through the glass surface. Certain models have halogen elements which are more effective. They heat the entire surface in successions of pulses.

Some of our ceramic hobs are equipped with advanced safety features, like a residual heat indicator that alerts you when the surface is hot to the surface. This prevents burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that prevent children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is essential that your pans have flat bottoms, because this ensures even heating and also helps to avoid hot spots that could cause food to be overcooked or undercooked. Also, avoid moving pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered glass.

Additionally, we have models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific areas or Oven Hob pots, which is great for stir-fry and searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off feature which shuts off the stove at a specific time to prevent overheating. This is a wonderful security feature that gives you peace of assurance. This function is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, also known as gas stove or gas cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses flammable natural or liquefied 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 offers additional safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. This elevated design requires extra care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled by hand and lit using a matches. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs, making it simple to adjust the level of heat as needed. Depending on the model, a few gas hobs also have multi-flame burners for increased cooking flexibility.

One of the biggest downsides to a gas stove is that it requires a constant supply of gas, which can be a challenge if you reside in an area with intermittent or unstable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to prevent dangerous leaks and corrosion. Hobs made of gas should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who will ensure that the installation is safe and follow strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular but there is a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is partly due to the preferences of consumers and concerns about the environment and local energy prices and availability. Therefore, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers who want modern and stylish kitchens. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, instead of a heated surface or burning gas beneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and induce heat directly into the pan or pan itself. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and is more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to feel and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas counterparts to clean. To keep your induction hob fresh as new, all you require is a dampened cloth.

Induction cooking requires you to make use of the appropriate cookware. All pans that include cast iron stainless steel, non-stick are required to have an iron base that is magnetized.

There are a variety of induction hobs available, from budget models up to high-end brands with a TFT display with a full menu of operation. The hob will show the position of the pan on a full-color display when it is placed 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 available, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob through bluetooth to regulate the power precisely.

Induction hobs that have an integrated fan cut down on smoke, steam, and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with limited space as it removes the requirement for a separate extractor fan. Like other induction hobs it makes use of magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that indirectly affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation, at the distance of five to ten centimetres, these fields are in line with the reference value for magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health risks are expected.

Electric Hobs

They are perfect for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and come with a range of options that can meet your cooking requirements.

For instance they tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have a 'hot' indicator light that stays on to alert you when the cooking area is hot to the contact. They also are more efficient because the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.
