Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an elevated flat surface that is used to heat pots and pans. There are many different kinds of hobs available, including electric, gas and induction.

Things to look out for include rotary, touch and control of the position. These allow you to control the heating zones at the click of a button, and also prevent them from being tripped over easily particularly by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are stylish and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. However the glossy surface is prone to stains and scratches caused by food and burnt-on cooking residues. To keep your hob looking good and working efficiently, you should maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface which generate heat when activated by control knobs. Some models use an element that radiates heat through the surface of the glass. Other models use halogen elements which are more powerful and heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, which makes them suitable for quick cook times.

Some of our ceramic best hobs uk are equipped with advanced safety features, for example, a residual heat indicator that alerts you when the surface is hot to the surface. This prevents burns. Some have child locks to protect children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is essential to select the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that your pans have a flat bottom, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. You should also avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered glass.

To cook with greater flexibility, we recommend our ceramic hobs that feature dual ring designs or an I-Flex's zone that can be used to accommodate two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll need to have a minimum 30cm sized pan in order for it to register). Additionally, we have models equipped with a booster burner to allow rapid heating of specific areas or pots, which is great for stir-fry or searing steak. We also have models with an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a set time to avoid overheating. This is a great security feature to have to provide peace of mind. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power' button on the control panel when you have your appliance set to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a predetermined period of time.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves, or gas cookers, are kitchen appliances that use flammable natural gas or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats both cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob adds security as it stops the body from coming into contact with the flame, thus reducing the risk of burns. However, this design requires a special attention when using and cleaning the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are controlled by hand and lit using a matches. Modern models feature an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it simple to adjust the temperature. Depending on the model, certain gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which can be a problem when you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid harmful leaks and corrosion. Hobs made of gas should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who will ensure that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances remain popular in a few areas, even though electric and induction hobs have grown in popularity. This is partly due to the preferences of consumers and environmental concerns, as well as local energy prices and availability. Therefore, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who want a sleek, clean-looking kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans, not a heated plate or burning gas beneath. Under the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils locate its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to touch and easy to clean.

As with other modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than their gas counterparts. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking great as new.

The primary drawback with cooking induction is that you'll need have suitable cookware for it. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick cookware are compatible but they need an induction-compatible 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.

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

One of our most sought-after models is an induction stove that includes a built-in extractor fan that helps to reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space because it eliminates the need for an additional 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 an interval of five to ten centimetres, these fields comply with the reference value for the magnetic flux density established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health-related effects are expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs offer a sleek finish and are designed to fit the majority of kitchen styles. They are ideal for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and they come with a variety of options that can meet your cooking needs. They are mostly made from glass, which is easy to clean and stylish in white or black style. Some have the ability to bridge two zones to make room for larger pans. While others come with the power boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a modern and sleek design that blends well with the designs of today's kitchens. They cook fast and offer a high degree of safety. For instance they cool down faster than gas cookers. They also have a 'hot' indicator light that stays on to alert you when the cooking area is hot to the contact. They are also more efficient because the magnetic field only generates heat inside the pan which means you're not heating the air around you.

There are a few things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require an electric power source that is paired with the appropriate cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs can be costly, and you will need to purchase a set of compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They can also be more expensive to operate because they generally consume more energy than other hobs.
