Types of Oven Hob

A hob is a flat, elevated surface that is used to heat pots and pans. There are various types of hobs, including gas, electric and induction.

The features to look for include touch, rotary and control of the position. These controls allow you to control heating zones by pressing a button. They also stop them from being smashed down easily, especially if they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs offer style and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your cooktop looking well-maintained and operating efficiently, you should maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electric current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated by control knobs. Certain models feature radiant elements that emits heat across the glass surface. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially ideal for cooking in short time.

A lot of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators that warn you when the surface is hot to the touch to avoid burns. Some also come with child locks to prevent children accidentally altering the settings.

For optimal performance, it is important to select the right cookware for your ceramic hob. It is important that your pans have flat bottoms since this helps ensure even heating and prevents hot spots that can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface as this could scratch the glass tempered.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or the 'I Flex' zone. This can accommodate two single pots, or one large pan. You'll need a pan with minimum dimensions of 30cm to allow it to register. We also have models with a booster burner for rapid heating of certain zones or pots, which is great for stir-fry or searing steak. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off function which shuts off the stove at a predetermined time to prevent it from overheating. This is a great safety feature that will give you peace of mind. This function is activated by pressing "Power on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or gas cookers, are kitchen appliances that make use of natural gas that is flammable, or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats the cookware as well as the air surrounding it which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob provides added security as it stops the body from coming in contact with the flame, eliminating the risk of burns. However, this elevated construction requires a special care when cleaning and using the hob to avoid spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with a match. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit in a timely manner. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it easy to adjust the level of heat. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, based on the model. This provides greater cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas hob is that it requires a constant supply of gas which can be a challenge when you live in an area with intermittent or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance to avoid corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can guarantee that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances remain popular in a few regions, despite the fact that electric and induction hobs are growing in popularity. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. This is why it is important to assess the utility costs of your kitchen's infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are popular with our customers who want an elegant, modern kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans instead of a heated surface or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An electric current that is alternating is passed through them. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pot or pan itself. This is more efficient than gas stoves that are traditional and more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to wipe down.

Induction hobs are designed to be simpler than gas hobs to clean. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as good as new.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the correct cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick cookware are compatible, but they must have 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 range of induction stoves is available, ranging from budget models to premium brands with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. When a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will show you its position on the full-color display. It also has the option of a slider or control button which allows you to change the power setting or set an alarm. There are also smart accessories available, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner.

Induction hobs that have a built-in fan can reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency band to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the density of magnetic fields for the relevant frequency. No health effects should be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The best hob electric hobs provide sleek design and are designed to complement the majority of kitchen designs. They are a great choice for those who prefer the ease of use of control buttons instead of dials. They also come with a variety of options to meet your cooking needs. Most are made from glass, which is easy to clean, and can look stylish if you opt for a black or white design. Some models have the ability to bridge two zones to make room for larger pans. While others include a power boost button for additional heat when doing something particularly tricky.

Induction hobs are increasing in popularity due to their modern and clean design that fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook quickly and provide an excellent level of safety. For example they tend to cool faster than gas cookers and come with a "hot" indicator light that remains on to alert you when the cooking zone is hot to the surface. They also work more efficiently, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.

But, there are a few things to bear in mind when choosing an induction cooker that will require a particular power supply configured with the appropriate breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric hob installed by a qualified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll require a set of compatible induction pans to benefit the most from them. They can also be more expensive to run because they often use more energy than other types of hobs.
