Types of Hobs

A hob and oven (known as stove tops in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans using electricity or flames. There are many different types of hobs. You can choose the one that best ovens and hobs fits your kitchen and style.

Induction Hobs Oven have a flat ceramic surface and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. The modern touch-operated designs look sleek and stylish and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs provide modern and sleek design which can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly cleaned. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient which helps reduce your electricity bills. Ceramic hobs can be slow in changing temperature settings. This can be a problem when you need to cook something that requires quick decrease or an increase in the heat.

Electric hobs are comprised of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted by rotary knobs. You can even use the 'boost' feature to increase the temperature of a single area. Ceramic hobs also have extremely high degree of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being turned off. This could be a problem for families with children, so it's advisable to place them in a location that is well away from any flammable items and away from young 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 quite affordable and can be a great option if you want to replace your stove without spending a large amount of money. Like any appliance, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure your new hobs will be safe to use.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's very sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. You'll need cookware that is either the exact same size as the element or that will fit comfortably inside each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, the element won't recognise it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in uneven cooking and make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern appearance. Although they may cost more than electric models and require professional installation, they usually require less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a full pan of water to come to a boil within four minutes or less. This kind of stove is also a good choice for cooks who prefer to regulate the amount of heat being generated. However, it must be not forgotten that a glass hob is more prone to damage than stainless steel ones and may require cleaning more frequently, as the accumulation of grease and residue tends to stick instead of slipping off.

This Bertazzoni hob is a fantastic example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners in matt black with metal control knobs to give it a chic, sophisticated finish. The wok ring has a power of 4kW for additional versatility, and the pan supports are dishwasher-safe.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which combines the look of a sleek slab of toughened glass with the latest cooking technology. The dual ring design to the left of the hob features a double inner flame to improve even heat distribution and accelerates cooking time. It also comes with an indicator for power that lets you control the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-defined settings including the high setting for searing steak and an option for scrambled eggs.

The simple and intuitive controls were loved by our test subjects who found them to be extremely easy to use. Some minor drawbacks are that you need to press the controls nine times to reach the highest temperature and the glass can make it difficult to see the burners' actions.

This Neff model is one of the top gas-on-glass hobs that are that you can buy at a reasonable price. It's not going win any design prizes, but it will serve its purpose and be a great addition to your kitchen at just over PS120.

Electric hobs

There are many electric hobs that work for modern homes. They're not only sleek and stylish, they are also faster, safer and more efficient than their predecessors.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. These hobs have an elegant glazed finish and have an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also often equipped with a power boost feature that allows you to increase the temperature of your stove for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs cook your food directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. This means that they are more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. However they require a certain type of pan to work and are costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a great alternative for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob, it comes with the burner underneath the glass is a flat layer. This glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it easier to clean than tempered glass. A majority of these hobs come with a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the oven is hot.

Although gas hobs are an option that is popular with home cooks but they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and takes a long time to get hot and cool off. Electric hobs, on other hand are more efficient in energy use and easy to clean.

There are even electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, meaning you'll have the flexibility to suit your lifestyle. It is important to remember, however, that these hobs will require installation by a registered gas safe engineer. They also require a dedicated cable of 6mm in your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for those who have pacemakers as the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils create an alternating electric current under the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction compatible pan is placed on the hob, the coils produce magnetic fields that heat the pan directly instead of heating the surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are extremely energy efficient, as they don't waste any heat.

There are a variety of models of an induction hob that range from basic models that have a single cooking zone marked by rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that can have up to six zones, allowing the cooking of multiple pots simultaneously in one flex zone. Certain models come with a touch slider control that is very similar to how you operate on an iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by moving your finger from left to right over the power bar in the middle. Some models even have pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food items which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are also more energy efficient over the long run. They can heat faster and have a smaller area for heating which can lower your energy costs. They cool faster and are more secure without hot plates. This makes them perfect for families with children or elderly residents. However, they can create a magnetic field which could interfere with some medical devices, such as pacemakers, therefore it is essential to center your pans on the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

Like all electric hobs, you will have to clean your induction hob frequently, since food particles and other debris may build up over time. You can use a standard best oven cleaner, or opt for a specialist product to keep your hob shiny and in good condition for longer. Just be sure to never use scrubbers or pads for scouring on your induction hob as they can scratch the surface.
