Gas hobs

A gas stove is a popular option for home cooks due to its speedy heating capability and easy control. You can usually find models with between two and six burners.

These are known as "zero emission gas hobs' or eco-friendly gas hobs they still have all the usual features of gas models, however they don't emit CO2 whatsoever while in operation.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a common option for kitchens of every style. They provide a range of advantages over other types. For starters, they tend to heat up and cool down quicker than gas hobs, which means less heat is left in the cookware when it is removed.

In contrast to traditional plate hobs which make use of coils to generate heat which is transferred to cookware, ceramic hobs use an induction system to directly heat the pan.

Hobs with induction

The modern alternative to traditional electric and gas hobs, induction cookers make use of an electric field to heat the pan itself rather than the cooktop itself. They heat up faster than other stoves and can reduce energy consumption over the course of. They are also safer to use because the cooktop's surface stays cool to the touch, and many have safety features such as automatic shut-off to avoid accidents.

Most induction hobs feature an aluminum or glass top and are powered by an alternating current which creates the magnetic field that is used to heat. Induction-compatible pans need to have flat bases and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated only when the pan is placed over the cooking zone. Most hobs feature a 'bridging zone' which can join two zones together to allow for larger pans.

Induction hobs are known for their efficiency. Many report reductions in their energy usage when they change to one. They are also thought to be safer since the cooktop surface stays cool to the edge, reducing the risk of burns, and it only heating the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs which can get extremely hot.

The majority of induction hobs have different control types, the most basic being a simple touch mark/power bar on the top of the hob, or a fully-functional TFT display that displays all options and allows you to alter the power levels as well as set timers, and more. Hobs induction that are more sophisticated feature many copper coils of varying sizes that are placed tightly together under the cooktop.
