Types of Oven Hob

A hob is a flat, elevated surface that is used to heat pans and pots. There are many different kinds of hobs, including electric, gas and induction.

The features to look for include rotary, touch and controls for position. They let you control the heating zones at the touch of a button and prevent them being knocked over easily, especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. Cleaning your stove with a regular routine and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is essential to keep it in good condition and functioning efficiently.

The hobs of this style are heated by transferring an electrical current through coiled metal elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated by control knobs. Some models use an element that emits heat through the surface of the glass. Others employ halogen elements, which are far more powerful and will heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially ideal for cooking in short time.

A lot of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some also come with child locks to stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is crucial to choose the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This will ensure that your pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes even heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that can cause overcooked or undercooked food. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface, as this could scratch the tempered-glass.

To allow for greater flexibility in cooking we recommend ceramic hobs that feature a dual ring design or 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate either two single pots or a large pan (you'll need to have at least a 30cm-wide pan to allow it to register). There are models that have booster heaters for quick heating in specific zones or pans. This is ideal for stir-fry and searing steak. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off function which shuts off the stove at a predetermined time to avoid overheating. This is a fantastic security feature that gives you peace of mind. This feature is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that use flammable natural gas or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) as their fuel. The flame heats both the cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which offers extra safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. This design is elevated and requires extra care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with a match. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit on its own. The flame is then controlled through the control knobs which makes it easy to alter the heat level as needed. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This provides greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which can be problematic when you live in an area that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can ensure an efficient installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are gaining popularity, there is still a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the Kitchen innovation's infrastructure and utility costs prior to choosing a style.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs have become popular with our customers who want an elegant, sleek kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans rather than the surface being heated or burning gas beneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface sit copper coils that an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils locate its magnetic base and cook the pan or pot directly. This is much faster than gas stoves that are traditional and more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to feel and easy to clean.

As with other modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be more easy to clean than their gas counterparts. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

Induction cooking requires that you use the right cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick cookware are compatible but they need an induction-compatible 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 range of induction hobs is available, from budget models to top brands that come with a full TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob displays the pan's position on the full-colour display when it is placed in an area of power. A control button or slider lets you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are other clever accessories available, such as pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob through bluetooth to control the power exactly.

Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce steam, smoke, and cooking odors. This model is perfect for homes with limited space because it eliminates the need for an additional extractor fan. It makes use of magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that indirectly affects 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 best hobs electric hobs provide sleek design and are designed to complement most kitchen designs. They are a good option for those who prefer the convenience of use of touch controls rather than dials and come with many options to suit your cooking needs. Most of them are constructed from glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in white or black design. Some models have the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans while others have a power boost button for additional heat when doing something difficult.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that is in line with the modern designs of kitchens. They cook fast and provide a high degree of security. For instance, they tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have a 'hot' indicator light that is on to warn you when the cooking area is hot to the touch. They also work more efficiently, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

However, there are some things to keep in mind when choosing an induction cooker which is that most require a power supply that is fitted with the appropriate breakers ovens and hobs cables, so we'd suggest having your electric hob installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive, and you will need to purchase a set compatible induction pans if you want to get the most value from them. They may also be more expensive to run because they typically consume more energy than other types of hobs.
