Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove tops in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans using electricity or flames. There are several different types of hobs available, so you can pick one that suits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs have flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and include five or four zones to heat your pans. The contemporary designs that operate with a touch are sleek and stylish and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern look that can really enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and are able to be cleaned up when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up very quickly ovens and hobs are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your energy bills. However, one downside of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow to change the temperature, which can be frustrating when cooking food that requires immediate reduction or increase in temperature.

Electric hobs use an uncooked plate that is heated by electric elements underneath. They can be controlled individually with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the power level you require. You can utilize the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a specific area. Ceramic hobs also have a very high heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch even after being turned off. It is important to put ceramic hobs in an area that is safe from flammable items and out of reach of children.

This kind of hob is able to be installed on a variety worktops, including laminate or solid hardwood, as well as granite. It's also fairly affordable and is a great alternative if you're trying to replace your old hobs, but without spending a lot of money. But, as with all appliances, they need to be properly installed and connected to the mains, and we would recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure your new hobs are safe to use.

This type of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and hobs sizes. You'll need cookware that is either the exact same size as the element, or that can fit comfortably into each of the heating zones on the oven hob. If the cookware doesn't match, then the element will not recognize it and won't start to heat the base of the pan. This can result in cooking that is uneven and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer modern, sleek design. They are more expensive than electric hobs, and may require professional installations. However they are also more efficient in heating and the water in a full pot can often boil in less than 4 minutes. This type of hob is also a great choice for cooks who want to regulate the amount of heat generated. Glass hobs are more prone to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to accumulate grease and residue.

A great example of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, that has four black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs for a an elegant and sophisticated appearance. It also comes with the wok ring that has 4kW for added versatility, plus dishwasher-proof pan supports that are easier to keep clean.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It combines a fashionable piece of toughened glass with cutting-edge cooking technology. The dual ring design to the left of the hob features an inner flame that doubles to improve even heat distribution and increases cooking time. It also has an excellent power level indicator, which allows you to control the exact temperature of your flame. You can choose from nine preset settings, including the highest setting for searing steaks and a low setting for foodie scrambled eggs.

Its simple yet intuitive controls were loved by our test subjects, who found them to be very easy to use. Some minor disadvantages include the fact that you have to physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest level of heating, and that it can be difficult to see the state of the burners through the glass.

A few of the top gas-on-glass hobs are available for affordable prices, such as this Neff model. While it's not going to win any design awards however, it serves the purpose well and is an ideal addition to your kitchen for less than 120 pounds.

Electric hobs

There are a variety of electric hobs that are ideal for modern households. Not only do they have an elegant design that blends into the rest of your kitchen and are also equipped with advanced functions that are safer, more efficient and efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.

One of the most sought-after electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. These hobs are designed with a sleek glazed finish, and have an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. These hobs are also fitted with a power booster function that lets you increase the heat for a brief period of time.

Induction hobs are a different electric hob that is ideal for modern homes. In contrast to traditional electric and gas plate hobs, induction hobs use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. This means that they are more energy efficient and have precise temperature control. They require a specific kind of pan and could be expensive to put in.

Gas on glass hobs are a different option for modern homes. It has a burner underneath the glass, which is flat, similar to a conventional gas stove. This glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempered glass. Many of these hobs also come with a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the hob is heated.

While gas hobs are still a popular option for many home cooks, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They also take a while to warm up and cool down and their flame can be difficult to manage. On the other hand, electric hobs are more energy-efficient and simpler to clean.

To achieve the highest level of modern efficiency, you can even find electric hobs that are compatible with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between different fuel sources, meaning you'll have the flexibility to suit your lifestyle. However, it's important to note that these hobs must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for people with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field can interfere with them.

Induction hobs

Under the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils that run an electrical current that is alternating. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a stove, the coils produce magnetic fields that generate heat directly in the pan, rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or a heated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs very efficient from a energy standpoint since there's no heat that is wasted.

There are many different models of induction hobs starting from basic ones that have a single cooking zone that is marked with rings to more advanced multi-zoned hobs that have up to six zones and allow you to cook multiple pots simultaneously on one flexible zone. Some of these premium models have a slider control that is similar to the iPhone. Simply slide your finger across the power bar in the middle to select the desired temperature left to right boosts heat and right to left decreases it. Certain models have preset settings for certain food types or recipes that can cut down time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs can be more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are believed to be more efficient over the long term because they heat up quicker and have a smaller surface for heating up which can help lower your energy costs. They cool quicker and are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them a great choice for families with elderly or children. However, they can create magnetic fields that could interfere with some medical devices, such as pacemakers, so it's important to center your pans over the burner and avoid placing small pans on large burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your electric hob clean as food and debris can accumulate over time. You can use an oven uk cleaner, or purchase a specialist cleaner to help keep your hob clean and in good shape for a longer time. You should never use the abrasive cleaning products or the a scouring pad on your stove since they could scratch the surface.
