Types of Hobs

A hob, which is also known as stovetop in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans by using electric power or flames. There are several different types of hobs available, so you can choose one that suits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs come with a flat ceramic cooking surface and come with four or five zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs provide an elegant and contemporary look that can improve the overall look of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and can quickly be wiped down when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your energy bills. However, one disadvantage of ceramic Hobs oven is that they may be slow in changing the temperature, which can be frustrating if you're cooking something that requires an instant reduction or increase in heat.

Electric hobs consist of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted through the rotary knobs.

This type of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and sizes. You will need to purchase cookware that is exactly the same as the element or fits comfortably in each of the heating zones. If the cookware isn't the same dimensions as the element, it won't recognise it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This can cause uneven cooking and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern look. While they can be more expensive than electric models and may require professional installation, they typically take less time to heat up. It's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to come to a boil in four minutes or less. This type of hob also is a great choice for cooks who need to control the amount of heat that is produced. However, it must be observed that a glass-based hob is more susceptible to damage than stainless steel models and may need to be cleaned more frequently, as grease and residue build up tends to stick instead of sliding off.

One of the best oven uk examples of a gas on glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, that has four black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs that create a an elegant and sophisticated look. It also has the wok ring that has 4kW for additional versatility, as well as dishwasher-proof pan supports that are easier to keep clean.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are perfect for modern homes. They're not just sleek and stylish, they are they are also safer, faster, and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most sought-after electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. They're designed with a sleek, glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to scratches or smudges. They also come with a power booster feature that lets you increase the heat for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs cook your food directly by using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional gas and electric plates. This means that they are more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. They require a specific kind of pan and could be expensive to put in.

A gas-on-glass hob is a second option that's an excellent choice for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it has an oven that is surrounded by the glass is a flat layer. The glass is heatproof as well as shatterproof, which makes it easier to clean than tempering glass. Many of these hobs have an "hot surface indicator" which alerts you to the heat.

Although gas hobs are a popular option for many home cooks but they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and can take a long time to heat up and cool off. Electric hobs, on the other hand, are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

For the ultimate in modern technology, you can even find electric hobs compatible with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, so you'll have the flexibility to fit your needs. But, it's important to note that these hobs need to be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and will require a dedicated 6mm cable for your kitchen. They're also not suitable for people with pacemakers, since the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils run an alternating electric current under the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob the coils generate magnetic fields that generate heat directly within the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are extremely efficient in energy use, since they don't waste any heat.

There are a myriad of models of induction hobs that range from basic models that have a single cooking zone that is marked with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that have up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots simultaneously on one flexible zone.

You can select the desired temperature by swiping 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 that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

They also cool down faster and have a more secure design without hot plates, making them ideal for families with children or elderly people living in the house. However, they do generate a magnetic force that could interfere with certain medical devices like pacemakers. It is therefore crucial to center pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your induction hob clean, as food and debris can build up over time. You can use an oven uk cleaner, or purchase a specialist cleaner to help keep your hob clean and in good shape for a longer time.
