Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and function in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your hob looking good and functioning effectively you must follow an ongoing cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components which are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements produce heat when they are activated by control knobs. Some models have radiant elements that emits heat through the glass surface. Certain models have Halogen elements that are more powerful. They can heat the entire surface with successions of pulses.

Many of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some also have child locks to prevent children accidentally altering the settings.

It is important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. It is essential that your pans have flat bottoms, because this ensures even heating and prevents hot spots that could cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. You should also avoid moving pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered glass.

To cook with greater flexibility, we recommend our ceramic hobs with dual ring designs or an the 'I-Flex' zone which can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have a minimum 30cm sized pan in order for it to register). We also have models with a booster heater for rapid heating in specific pans or zones. This is great for searing steak and stir-fry. There are also models that have an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a predetermined time to prevent overheating. This is a useful security feature to have in place to ensure your safety. This feature is activated by pressing 'Power' on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, often referred to as a gas cooker or gas stove is an appliance in the kitchen that uses flammable natural or the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame heats cookware and surrounding air which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which offers extra security by preventing your body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. This elevated construction does require particular care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by matches or the pilot light, and the burners are manually controlled. Modern models come with an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is ignited in a controlled manner. The flame can then be controlled by the control knobs making it easy to adjust the level of heat according to your needs. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This provides greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which can be problematic if you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid harmful corrosion and leaks. Because of this, it is essential to install a gas hob only after consulting a Gas Safe Registered fitter who can provide an expert installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular, there is still a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well as local prices for energy and availability. This is why it is crucial to evaluate your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who want an elegant, ovens and hobs sleek kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans, rather than an evaporating surface or burning gas underneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface sit copper coils that create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils detect its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface remains cool to the touch and is easy to wipe down.

Like other modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be more easy to clean than their gas counterparts. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

Induction cooking requires you to make use of the appropriate cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick cookware are compatible but they need 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.

A range of induction hobs is available, from budget models to high-end brands with a full TFT display and an extensive operating menu. When a pan is set in a power zone the hob will display its location on the full-color display, and also have a control button or slider that lets you change the power setting or set the timer. There are also clever accessories that are available, like pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob using bluetooth to regulate the power in a precise manner.

One of our most sought-after models is an induction stove that includes a built-in extractor fan that helps to reduce the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with limited space as it removes the need for an additional extractor fan. Like other induction hobs it utilizes magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that affects the contents of your pan. In normal operation at an interval of five to ten centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value of the magnetic flux density established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs offer an elegant look and are designed to complement all kitchen styles. They are perfect for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and are available with a variety of options that can meet your cooking needs. The majority of these are made from glass, which is easy to clean and elegant in a white or black design. Some have a bridge function to combine 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 doing something difficult.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they offer a contemporary and sleek design that fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook quickly and offer the highest level of security. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers, and they have an indicator light that remains on when the cooking area becomes hot to touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat within the pan itself and doesn't heat the surrounding air.

However, there are some things to keep in mind when choosing an induction cooker which is that most require a power supply that is fitted with the right breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a certified electrician. They can also be expensive and you'll need an induction pan that is compatible with the pans to benefit the most from them. They may also be more expensive to operate because they often use more energy than other types of hobs.
