Types of Hob and Oven

A hob and oven is an essential part of many kitchens, and comes in a variety of styles. You can mix different types of ovens, such as electric and gas to meet your needs.

Safety features like the controls for child and position can be included in a hob. They can stop children from touching the hob, and stop them changing the temperature settings accidentally.

Types

The hob is the main focal element of any kitchen and can have a significant impact on the outcome of your cooking. There are many kinds of hobs, and the one you choose depends on your cooking needs.

Gas hobs are the most popular choice, and they provide a rapid heating function and instant response to temperature changes. Professional chefs prefer them because they provide precise control. They are not as easy as other hobs to clean and may require more maintenance.

Electric hobs are made of ceramic with a flat surface with heated elements underneath. They are available in various sizes and have four to six cooking zones. Each zone has a separate heating element which you can regulate individually. You can boil potatoes on one ring while cooking sausages in another. This type of hob can be faster to heat than gas and is a child-safe option since the cooking area only becomes hot when you place a pan on it.

Traditional ceramic hobs are a user-friendly alternative to gas and electric and are also a very fashionable option. They have an even and smooth surface that is easy to clean. However, they are not as quick to react to temperature changes or to cool down as other hobs.

Domino hobs are a space-saving alternative to gas and electric hobs that incorporate ovens beneath the cooking surface. They are great for kitchens with small space. They can also be used in kitchenettes and flats. They are often cheaper than a standard cooker and can be extremely energy efficient however they are also fragile and require more attention than other types of cooker.

Gas

A gas hob is a cooktop that has burners that can be fitted on kitchen countertops to give an elegant look. Gas hobs are usually powered by LPG or natural gas, but they are also powered by propane gas. The modern, sleek design can add sophistication to your modular cooking space.

A traditional gas stove is equipped with a number of burners. There are usually four burners, however it can be as many as six. The burners can be ignited with a match or knob. The flames are controlled by a set of valves which can be adjusted in temperature.

The majority of modern gas stoves built-in, on the other hand include burners with multiple flames. This lets you control both the inner and outer rings for each burner, to allow you to precisely control your cooking. These types of burners provide faster heat up times and are more reliable than older models.

In the past, it was necessary for gas stoves to be lit at all times to ensure that the burners remained hot and fuelled. This was a safety measure to avoid accidents such as not turning off the oven when the stove was lit by match or pilot flame. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and include a built-in flame safety device that shuts down the burners automatically should the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs need to be inspected, cleaned and maintained regularly. The best oven way to accomplish this is to book a maintenance visit with a certified Gas Safe registered engineer. Not only will they be able to ensure that your appliance is operating properly and safely, but they will also provide expert advice and suggestions on how to prevent any problems in the near future.

Electricity

A good hob is just as important in making the perfect kitchen. Worktops, refrigerators, freezers and ovens are the first things that come to the mind. Whether you opt for a conventional, induction or gas cooker, the kind of hob you pick can impact how your kitchen functions and how easy it is to clean.

Electric hobs feature heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface. This is usually cleaned with a nonabrasive cleaner. The heating elements are activated when you switch on the hob and Hob and Oven can be adjusted to various power levels with a knob. It can take them a little bit longer to warm up but once they've done so, they have a tendency to offer more stable and reliable temperature control. They also come with indicators to let you know when a space is being used or hot from cooking.

Typically, they come in a range of four to six sizes of rings that can be cranked up to different power levels. They are great for flat-based cookware but not for cast iron pans, because they could overheat. Certain models come with dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that allow boiling water on one ring and saute sausages on a different. Some models have a 'boost' function that concentrates the power of high-powered heat into one ring to stir fry cooking sauteing meats, searing or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs differ from conventional electric hobs because they use electromagnetic fields instead of conventional gas flames to cook your food. This allows them to achieve precise temperatures in a smaller period of time, making them extremely energy efficient. They have a cool to the touch surface as well as flashing indicators that inform you if a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramic is a material that can be used to create useful or decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders and water, and firing it in a hot oven hob called Kiln. Once it's made it can be coated or painted with decorative materials to give it texture and colour.

Ceramic hobs are an exquisite blend of form and function and can be found in any modern kitchen. Radiant heating technology is used to heat the ceramic hobs through the passage of an electric current through coiled elements that are hidden under the black glass surface. These generate heat when activated. This is then transferred to the pan by way of an infrared system. You can adjust the level of heating using the knobs or touch controls.

Certain ceramic hobs feature two rings, each with the smaller and the larger cooking zone. This allows you to choose the appropriate size for your pan. You can also get hobs with booster burners that produce high-powered heat quickly ideal for searing meat or bringing pots of water to a boil in a short time.

Ceramic cooktops are more efficient in energy than other types of hobs because they take longer to heat up and alter temperatures. You can also choose vented cooktops that have a ventilation system with the cooktop made of ceramic. This makes sure that smoke, hob and oven steam and cooking smells don't remain in your home.

Induction

Induction hobs contain heating elements composed of copper wire coils. The coils create electromagnets that make the pans hot on top of them. The coils agitate the free electrons within your pan's metal base and then transfer heat efficiently and directly to your food. The surface of the stove is never hot and the cooking zones automatically turn off when the pan is removed.

Induction hobs are generally more expensive, however they also get hotter faster and use 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other kinds. Induction hobs are also easier to clean since only the inside of the pan heat up and not the surface.

Some manufacturers offer a special induction model with extra features like the ability to pause that shuts off power to your hob whenever you move away from it, or connect two cooking rings at the same time at the same power level to provide greater flexibility. These are sometimes called FlexInduction hobs. They can be more costly than traditional induction models, but they're worth a look if multitasking is important to you.

Our favorite is this induction hob made by Smeg, which has four good-sized cooking zones with a bridge function as well as nine power levels that give you plenty of choice for those who want to cook with a lot of passion. In our tests, it did well with precise control and rapid heating when making pancakes. The hob has a built in dishwasher and automatic pan detection, which makes cleaning much easier. The only problem is that there are only a handful of compatible pans and you can't make use of it for cooking with utensils with magnetic bases. It could be a problem when you have a large quantity of cookware that's not compatible or only the smallest portion is compatible with induction cooktops.
