Types of Oven Hob

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

Things to look out for include touch, rotary and control of the position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing one button. They also stop them from being knocked down easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are a fantastic option for modern kitchens, mixing style and function. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratch marks and other residues. Cleaning your stove with a regular routine and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is essential to keep it in good condition and functioning effectively.

These types of hobs are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements hidden beneath the glass surface, which generate heat when activated by control knobs. Certain models employ an element that emits heat to the glass's surface. Some models use halogen elements which are more powerful. They can heat the entire surface with repeated pulses.

Many of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that prevent children from accidentally changing the settings.

It is important to use the right cookware for your ceramic stove. It is important that your pans have flat bottoms, as this promotes even heating and helps avoid hot spots that could cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this could scratch the glass that is tempered.

For ovens and hobs greater flexibility when cooking it is recommended to use ceramic hobs that have dual ring design or I-Flex's zone that can accommodate either two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll need to have a minimum 30cm sized pan 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. We also have models that have an auto shut-off feature that switches off the hob after a set time to prevent it from overheating. This is a great security feature to have to ensure your safety. This function is usually activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel when you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a set period of time.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that make use of flammable natural gas or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats both cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas ovens hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives extra safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. However, this elevated design requires special attention when using and cleaning the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled manually and lit with matches. Modern models feature an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas is ignited automatically. The flame can then be controlled by the knobs that control it, making it simple to adjust the heating level according to the need. Based on the model, a few gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners for increased cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be problematic when you live in an area with a sporadic or unreliable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid dangerous corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who will ensure an efficient installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular, there is still a substantial market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, as well as local prices for energy and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the kitchen's infrastructure and utility costs prior to choosing a type.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans rather than heating plates or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are located beneath the glass ceramic surface. An electric current that is alternating is run through them. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the cooker or the pan itself. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to touch and easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, induction hobs oven are also designed to be more easy to clean than gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob clean as new, all you need is a damp cloth.

The main limitation with induction cooking is that you'll need possess the appropriate cookware. All cookware including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick, must have a base that is magnetic. 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 premium brands with a TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. When a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will display its location on the full colour display, with an adjustment button or slider enabling you to alter the power setting or set an alarm. There are many clever accessories, such as pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with small space because it eliminates the need for an additional extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it makes use of magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that affects the contents of your pan. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference values for the density of magnetic fields for the relevant frequency. There are no health hazards to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best electric hobs provide a sleek finish and are designed to complement most kitchen designs. They are perfect for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and they come with a range of options that can meet your cooking needs. Most are made from glass which is easy to clean and can appear stylish if you go for a white or black design. Some come with bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others come with an energy boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're doing something particularly tricky.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they offer a clean and modern aesthetic which fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook quickly and provide the highest level of safety. For example, they tend to cool faster than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that stays on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat under the pan itself so you're not heating the air around it.

There are a few things to take into consideration when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require an electrical supply that is set up with the right cables and breakers. We suggest installing it by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll need to buy a set of compatible induction pans if you want to make the most of them. They are also more expensive to run because they often use more energy than other types of hobs.
