Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an uncooked surface that is placed above your oven uk to heat your pots and pans. There are various types of hobs, such as electric, gas and induction.

Features to look out for include rotary, touch and position controls. These controls allow you to control heating zones by pressing one button. They also protect them from being smashed easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a fantastic option for modern kitchens, mixing style and function. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. To keep your cooktop looking well-maintained and operating efficiently it is essential to maintain an ongoing cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads.

The hobs of this type are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements produce heat when they are activated by control knobs. Certain models include a radiant element, which emits heat through the glass surface. Other models use halogen elements which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them particularly ideal for cooking in short time.

Many of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features like residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some have child locks to stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

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

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an the 'I Flex' zone. It can accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan of a minimum size of 30cm to register. We also have models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific zones or pots, which is great for stir-fry or searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off feature that shuts off the hob at a set time to avoid overheating. This is a wonderful safety feature that will give you peace of mind. This function is activated by pressing 'Power on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that use natural gas that is flammable, or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats the cookware and surrounding air which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives extra safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. However, this design requires special attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by matches or an igniter, and the burners are manually controlled. Modern models have an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it simple to adjust the level of heat. Depending on the model, a few gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas hob is that it requires a consistent supply of gas, which can be a challenge when you live in an area with intermittent or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance in order to prevent corrosion and leaks. This is why it is essential to install a gas stove only after consulting with an approved Gas Safe fitter who can provide professional installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

Although induction and electric hobs are gaining popularity, there is still an enormous 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. It is important to consider the utility and infrastructure costs before choosing a style.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans rather than a heated surface or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is run through them. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils detect 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 surface remains cool to the touch and is easy to wipe down.

As with other modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be easier to keep clean than their gas counterparts. A simple wipe with an damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob and oven looking as fresh as new.

The biggest drawback to cooking induction is that you must possess the appropriate cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick cookware are compatible, but they must have a 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.

A variety of induction hobs is available, from budget models to premium brands with a TFT display and an extensive operating menu. If a pan is placed on a power zone, the hob uk will display its position on a full-color display. It also has an adjustment button or slider which allows you to change the power setting or set the timer. There are also smart accessories available, such as pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob using bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner.

One of our most popular models is an induction stove that includes a built-in extractor fan that helps to reduce smoke, steam and oven cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space, as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields that are within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the magnetic density at the frequency at which it operates. There are no health risks to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs offer a sleek finish and are designed to fit the majority of kitchen designs. They are a good option for those who prefer the ease of using control buttons instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to meet your cooking needs. They are mostly made of glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in a white or black style. Some come with the ability to bridge two zones to make room for larger pans. While others include the power boost button to provide additional heat when performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are increasing in popularity due to their modern and clean design that can be incorporated into modern kitchen designs. They also cook quickly and provide a high degree of safety. For instance they tend to cool faster than gas cookers and have a 'hot' indicator light that stays on to warn you when the cooking zone is hot to the surface. They also tend to be more efficient because the magnetic field only generates heat under the pan itself which means you're not heating the air around it.

But, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an induction cooker - most require a specific power supply configured with the correct cables and breakers so we'd recommend having your electric hob installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs are expensive, and you will need to purchase a set compatible induction pans if you want to make the most of them. They may cost more because they use more energy.
