Types of Oven Hob

A best hob is a flat cooking surface that is placed over your oven to heat your pots and pans. There are many different kinds of hobs available, including gas, electric and induction.

Look for features like the rotary control, touch or position. These controls allow you to control heating zones by pressing the button. They also prevent them from being smashed easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a fantastic option for modern kitchens that are that combine style and function. However, the glossy surface is prone to stains and scratches caused by cooking and food residues that are burned on. Keeping your hob clean with a regular routine and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is key to keeping it looking good and working efficiently.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements generate heat when they are activated using control knobs. Certain models include an element that radiates, which emits heat through the glass surface. Others employ halogen elements, which are much more powerful and will heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially ideal for cooking in short time.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch to prevent burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that prevent children from accidentally altering the settings.

For maximum performance, it's important to select the right cookware for your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that the pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes even heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that could result in food being overcooked or undercooked. It is also important to avoid moving pans across the surface since this could scratch the tempered glass.

To cook with greater flexibility it is recommended to use ceramic hobs with a dual ring design or the 'I-Flex' zone which can accommodate two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll need to have at least a 30cm-wide pan in order for it to register). Alternatively, we also offer models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific areas or pots, which is great for stir-fry or searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off feature that turns off the hob at a set time to prevent it from overheating. This is a useful security feature to have to ensure your safety. This feature is activated by pressing 'Power' on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, often known as gas cooker or gas stove, is an appliance in the kitchen that uses flammable natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame is used to heat 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 gives extra safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. This elevated design requires special care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by matches or an igniter, and the burners are controlled by hand. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that makes sure the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs, making it simple to adjust the heating level as needed. Depending on the model, some gas hobs also have multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

One of the biggest drawbacks for a gas hob is that it requires a consistent supply of gas which can be a challenge for those who reside in an area that has an unstable or insecure supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to prevent harmful leaks and corrosion. Hobs made of gas should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can guarantee a safe installation and follow strict safety protocols.

Although induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular but there is a substantial market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well as local energy prices and availability. This is why it is important to assess your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favourite for our clients seeking an elegant and sleek kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans, rather than an evaporating surface or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is passed through them. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on top of the cooker, the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than 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 you to use the right cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and certain non-stick pans are compatible however they require a 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.

There are a variety of induction hobs available, from budget models up to top brands that feature TFT displays with a full menu of operation. The hob will show the position of the pan in full-color when it is placed in an area of power. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a clock. There are a variety of clever accessories, such as pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware and communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most adored models is an induction cooker that includes a built-in extractor fan to cut down on steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space since it eliminates the requirement for a separate extractor fan. It uses magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation, at a distance of 5-10 centimetres, these fields comply with the reference value for magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are expected.

Electric hobs oven

The most efficient electric hobs are sleek and designed to fit most kitchen styles. They are a good option for those who prefer the convenience of use of touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to fit your cooking requirements. The majority are made of glass that is easy to clean and can also look elegant if you opt for a white or black design. Some have bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to make room for larger pans. While others include an energy boost button to provide additional heat when performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are growing in popularity because they offer a clean and modern aesthetic which fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. For example they cool quicker than gas cookers and have a 'hot' indicator light that remains on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the surface. They also tend to be more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat within the pan itself and doesn't heat the air around you.

There are a few things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require a power supply that is configured with the right cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a licensed electrician. They can also be expensive and you'll need an induction pan that is compatible with the pans to get the most from them. They are also more expensive to run because they generally consume more energy than other types of hobs.
