Types of oven and hob Hob

A hob is an uncooked surface that sits above your oven to cook your pans and pots. There are several different types of hobs, such as electric, gas, and induction.

Things to look out for include touch, rotary and position controls. These allow you to control the heating zones at the touch of a button and prevent them being knocked over easily, especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are an excellent option for modern kitchens, that combine style and function. The glossy surface can be damaged by food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your cooktop looking good and functioning effectively, you should maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads.

These types of hobs are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements hidden beneath the glass surface, that generate heat when they are activated through control knobs. Some models have an element that emits heat to the glass's surface. Certain models have halogen elements which are more effective. They heat the entire surface in successions of pulses.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is still hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

It is important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. It is crucial that your pans have flat bottoms, because this ensures even heating and also helps to avoid hot spots which can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the glass tempered.

To allow for greater flexibility in cooking we recommend ceramic hobs that feature dual ring designs or an the 'I-Flex' zone which can accommodate either two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll need to have an oven that is at least 30cm in diameter in order for it to register). There are models that have booster heaters for quick heating in specific areas or pans. This is ideal for searing steak and stir-fry. There are also models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a set time to avoid overheating. This is a great security feature to have in place to ensure your safety. This function is activated by pressing "Power on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers, are kitchen appliances that use natural gas that is flammable or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats both the cookware and the surrounding air. This allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides additional safety by preventing the body from being in contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. This elevated construction does require special care when using or cleaning the hob in order to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled manually and lit with matches. More recent models feature an automatic igniter that makes sure the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it easy to adjust the heat level. Depending on the model, some gas hobs are also equipped with multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be problematic when you live in a region that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to guard against harmful leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can ensure that the installation is safe and follow 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 consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. It is crucial to think about your kitchen's infrastructure and utility costs prior to choosing a style.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers who want an elegant and sleek kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans, not heating plates or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. A current of alternating electricity is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and cook the pan or pot directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to wipe down.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction hobs are designed to be simpler to clean than their gas counterparts. A simple wipe using an damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the appropriate cookware. All cookware that include cast iron, stainless steel and non-stick ones, need a magnetized 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 are available, from budget models to top brands that come with a TFT display and an extensive operating menu. When a pan is placed in a zone of power, the hob will show its position on a full-color display, and also have a control button or slider enabling you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are many innovative accessories, such as pan sensors that stick to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.

Induction ovens hobs that have a built-in fan reduce steam, smoke, and cooking odors. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it does not require an extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it uses magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that is absorbed by your pan ovens and hobs its contents. In normal operation at an interval of 5-10 centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value for magnetic flux density established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health-related effects are anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The best hobs uk electric hobs provide an elegant look and are designed to match most kitchen designs. They are a great choice for those who prefer the convenience of using touch controls rather than dials. They also come with a variety of options to meet your cooking needs. The majority are made of glass which is easy to clean and can appear stylish if you go for a white or black design. Some have a bridge function to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans while others come with an energy boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are increasing in popularity due to their contemporary and sleek design that can be incorporated into modern kitchen designs. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have an indicator light that remains in place when the cooking area gets hot to the touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air around it.

There are some things to think about when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require an electric power source that is set up with the appropriate cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll have to purchase a set of compatible induction pans to get the most benefit from them.
