Types of Hobs

A hob (known as a stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans using electricity or flames. There are many different kinds of hobs available, so you can choose one that is best suited to your preferences and kitchen.

Induction hobs have flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and have five or four zones for heating your pans. The contemporary designs that operate with a touch are sleek and stylish and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern and sleek appearance. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are simple to clean and can quickly be wiped down when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your electricity bills. However, ovens one disadvantage of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow to adjust temperatures and can be a hassle when cooking food that requires an instant reduction or an increase in heat.

Electric hobs use plates that are heated by electric elements under. The power of each element can be individually adjusted via the rotary knobs. You can use the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a particular area. Ceramic hobs hold heat extremely well, and even after they are turned off, they will still be hot to the touch. It's important to install ceramic hobs in an area that is safe from flammable items and out of reach of children.

The drawback of this kind of hob is that it's sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that's exactly the same dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, it won't recognize it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in uneven cooking and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer a sleek, best Oven uk modern aesthetic. They are more expensive than electric models, and could require professional installation. However they are also more efficient in heating - an entire pot of water can often boil within less than four minutes. This kind of hob is also a great choice for cooks who prefer to control the amount of heat being produced. However, it should be not forgotten that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel ones and may need to be cleaned more often, as the accumulation of grease and residue tends to stay on the surface instead of sliding off.

This Bertazzoni hob is a great example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners in matt black, with control knobs made of metal to give it a chic, sophisticated finish. It also comes with the wok ring that has 4kW for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe, making them easier to keep clean.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It is a sleek piece of toughened glass with modern cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob features an inner burner that doubles to increase the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking. It also has a handy power level indicator that allows you to control the exact temperature of your flame.

Electric hobs

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. They're constructed with a sleek glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to smudges or scratches. These hobs also come with a power booster feature which allows you to boost the heat for a brief duration.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. As opposed to traditional gas and electric plate hobs, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. They are therefore more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. However they require a certain type of pan to work with them and are costly to set up.

Hobs made of glass that are gas-powered are another great option for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it features an oven hob that is surrounded by an underlying layer of flat glass. However the glass is shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much simpler to clean than the typical tempered glass. A lot 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 be difficult to control and can take a long time to warm up and cool down. Electric hobs on the other side are more efficient in energy use and are easier to clean.

There are electric stoves that work with LPG gas. You can switch between different fuels, giving you the flexibility to meet your needs. It is important to note, however, that these hobs need to be installed by an accredited gas safe engineer. They also require a dedicated cable of 6mm for your kitchen. They're also not suitable for people with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field may cause interference with them.

Hobs with induction

Beneath the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils which run an electrical current that is alternating. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob, the coils create magnetic fields that produce heat directly within the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). Induction hobs uk are efficient in energy use, since they don't waste any heat.

There are a myriad of models of induction stoves, starting with the basic models with a single zone identified by rings to more advanced multi zoned induction stoves with up to 6 zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked within a flex area.

Simply slide your finger across the power bar located in the middle to select the desired temperature, left to right increases the heat and right to left decreases it. Certain models have preset settings for certain food types or recipes, which can save time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs do tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are believed to be more energy efficient over the long term because they heat up quicker and have a smaller surface for heating up which can help lower your energy costs. They cool faster, and they are more secure without hot plates. This makes them ideal for families that have children or elderly residents. However, they do produce a magnetic field which could affect medical devices like pacemakers so it is important to place your pans on the burner and avoid placing small pans on large burners.

As with all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your induction hob clean because food and debris could accumulate over time. You can use an oven cleaner, or purchase a specialist cleaner to keep your stove shiny and in good condition for longer. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning product or scouring pad on your induction stove, as they can scratch the surface.
