Types of Oven Hob

A hob is a flat cooking surface that sits above your oven to cook your pots and pans. There are several different types of hobs available, including electric, gas and induction.

Look for features like rotary control, touch or position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing a button. They also prevent them from being knocked down easily, particularly if they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are an excellent choice for modern kitchens, that combine style and function. The glossy surface can be damaged by food residues and scratches. To keep your cooktop looking good and functioning effectively it is essential to maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

Hobs of this kind are heated by transferring an electrical current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements generate heat when they are activated by control knobs. Some models have a radiant element that emits heat across the glass surface. Some models use Halogen elements that are more efficient. They are able to heat the entire surface in repeated pulses.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface is hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some also have child locks to stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

For optimal performance, it is important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that your pans have a flat bottom, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps to prevent hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered-glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an the 'I Flex' zone. This can accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan that has at least 30cm in size to register. Alternatively, we also offer models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific zones or pots, which is great for stir-fry or searing steak. There are also models that have an auto shut-off feature that switches off the hob after a predetermined time to prevent overheating. This is a great security feature that can give you peace of mind. This feature is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or cookers, are kitchen appliances that use natural gas that is flammable or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats the cookware and surrounding air, which allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides additional safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. However, this design requires special attention when using and cleaning the hob to avoid spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled by hand and lit using a a match. Modern models have an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas is ignited in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs. This makes it simple to adjust the heat level. Certain gas hobs have multiple flame burners, based on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which could be an issue when you live in an area that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid dangerous corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who will ensure that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances are still popular in certain areas, even though electric and induction hobs have gained in popularity. This is due to consumer preference and environmental concerns, as well as local prices for energy and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the kitchen's cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a style.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, sleek kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans rather than heating plates or burning gas beneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the pot or the pan itself. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs and ovens, the induction ones are designed to be simpler to keep clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction stove as clean as new, all you require is a damp cloth.

The main limitation with induction cooking is that you'll need possess the appropriate cookware. All cookware that include cast iron stainless steel, non-stick and cast iron, must have a base that is magnetic. 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.

A variety of induction hobs is available, ranging from budget models to high-end brands with a full TFT display and an extensive operating menu. The hob will display the pan's location on a full-color display when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider lets you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are many clever accessories, such as pan sensors that stick to the sides of cookware and communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most popular models is an induction hob that includes a built-in extractor fan to cut down on steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with a limited space since it eliminates the need for a separate extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it utilizes magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference values for the magnetic density for the relevant frequency. There are no health risks to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best ovens uk electric hobs provide a sleek finish and are designed to fit all kitchen styles. They are a great option for those who prefer the convenience of using touchscreen controls instead of dials and come with many options to fit your cooking requirements. The majority of these are made of glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in a white or black style. Some models feature a bridge feature to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others come with an additional power boost button to provide extra heat for difficult tasks.

Induction hobs are growing in popularity because they offer a clean and modern aesthetic which fits well with today's kitchen designs. They also cook quickly and provide a high degree of safety. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have an indicator light that remains in place when the cooking area gets hot to the touch. They also tend to be more efficient due to the fact that the magnetic field only produces heat inside the pan and doesn't heat the air around you.

There are a few aspects to consider when choosing an electric hob. Most require an electrical supply that is set up with the right cables and breakers. We recommend installing it by a certified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need an appropriate set of induction pans to benefit the most out of them.
