A hob is a cooker top that fits into an oven worktop. It is also separate from an oven. A cooker is a freestanding unit that includes both a hob and an oven.

Mischievous - and possibly malignant sprites of the countryside, Hobs were often combined with Goblin to create the Hobgoblin.

Gas Hobs

A good hob is essential in modern kitchens. There's a range of hobs to fit every budget and style whether you prefer ceramic gas, induction, or ceramic. A good hob will heat quickly and evenly to cook your food in a flash and adds a sleek finish to your kitchen.

A gas hob's precise temperature control is among its most significant advantages. It is quick to reach high temperatures making it ideal for cooking meat, boiling water, and stirring-frying vegetables. The ability to adjust the temperature quickly makes it ideal for delicate sauces or dishes that require low temperatures.

Gas hobs are also energy efficient. It runs on natural gas, which is usually cheaper than electricity, which makes it more affordable to run a hob. It also makes use of direct flames to heat your utensils. This means that there is less energy lost around the edges of the burner.

Modern gas hobs come with a sleek design to match any kitchen decor. You can choose models with glossy black or stainless steel finishes that blend in seamlessly and make your kitchen look more modern. You can also select models made of glass ceramic that is easy-to-clean and highly durable.

Gas hobs are a common choice for modern kitchens because of their versatility and ease-of-use. They can also complement traditional kitchen designs, particularly when you incorporate a range cooker into your kitchen layout. It is important to keep in mind that they can increase the risk of fire when contrasted with electric or induction stoves. They lack the safety features such as being able to switch off instantly and have a child safety locks on the knobs for control.

When choosing a gas stove, take into consideration the number of burners and cooking zones you require. You can choose models that have 1,2 or five cooking zones. A lot of models also have central wok burners, which is a powerful burner suitable for quick stirring or boiling. Check the type of ignition used. The majority of gas hobs light the burners by using an electric spark or a constant electric pilot flame.

Induction Hobs

While gas hobs are popular with home cooks, induction cookers are gaining popularity for their efficiency and speed. These flat glass-topped hobs use magnetism to heat the contents of a pan rather than heating the surface which makes them more efficient, and safer as there is no flame under. Induction hobs are equipped with a range of features, including some which our Good Housekeeping Institute experts have found to be extremely beneficial.

One of them is the bridge function that lets you join two hob rings to make room for larger pans. You can set the temperature of each ring on the touchscreen panel. This is a fantastic alternative for those who love to entertain. It can also be a lifesaver when you have guests with different dietary requirements. Induction hobs are dangerous for those with pacemakers since they produce electromagnetic fields that can interfere with the operation of their devices.

The British Heart Foundation recommends that you keep a distance of at 60 centimeters between any power source and a hob that is active, in the event that you wear pacemakers. The magnetic field produced by the hob can cause electrical devices to malfunction. Make sure the device isn't in the vicinity of hot cooking or cooking zones.

This induction cooker has an aesthetic that is more contemporary than other models. This is evident by the sleek black surface that blends well with all kitchen styles. It comes with a range of features, including a pause feature, which allows you to temporarily shut off the stove without removing your pan and a boost function that gives you extra power for quick heat-up. It's also energy efficient, and the touch-screen display includes a variety of recipes that are pre-set for your favourites.

This lets the cooking zones activate only when the required cookware is placed to avoid heat loss. Certain hobs feature a mix of cooking zones that accommodate different sizes of pans. Some hobs have child locks that keep unintentional fingers away from the controls. Some even have an auto switch off feature that turns the hob off when it isn't used for a specific amount of time.

Another great thing about LPG is that it's more widely available than electricity, which is typically harder to find in rural areas. The liquid form of LPG makes it easy to store and transport, making it ideal for those who live in remote areas or have catering businesses that don't have access to gas mains.

The word hob is an old English term, originally meaning the term 'a grate or shelf that is placed in front of a fire'. It's an old term that refers to the way we cooked at home years ago, with huge fireplaces as well as shelves on which pots were set to cook. Nowadays, kitchens are fitted with an oven and a separate stove top (hob) that can be gas or electric.

Other countries may refer to the stove as a cooker, but the British call it a hob.
