Types of Oven Hob

A hob is a flat, elevated surface that heats pots and pans. There are different types of hobs available, including gas, electric and induction.

Look for Hob And Oven features such as rotary control, touch or position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing the button. They also stop them from being smashed easily, especially if they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are stylish best ovens and hobs uk functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. Cleaning your stove with a regular routine and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is crucial to keep it in good condition and functioning effectively.

These hobs are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface, that generate heat when they are activated through control knobs. Some models have an element that emits heat from the surface of the glass. Some models employ the halogen element, which is more effective. They are able to heat the entire surface in successions of pulses.

Some of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, for example, a residual heat indicator that alerts you when the surface is hot to the touch. This prevents burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

For optimal performance, it is important to use appropriate cookware with your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that the pans have a flat bottom, which ensures uniform heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that can cause overcooked or undercooked food. Avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this can scratch the glass tempered.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an 'I Flex' zone. This can accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan that has minimum dimensions of 30cm to make it register. We also have models with booster heaters for quick heating in specific areas or pans. This is perfect for searing steak and stir-fry. There are also models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a specified time to prevent overheating. This is a fantastic security feature that gives you peace of assurance. This feature is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes referred to as a gas stove or gas cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses flammable natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats the cookware as well as the air surrounding it which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which offers additional safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. This elevated construction does require special care when cleaning or operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is lit with matches or the pilot light, and the burners are manually controlled. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas is lit automatically. The flame can then be controlled by the control knobs which makes it easy to alter the heat level according to the need. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This gives you more cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which could be an issue if you live in a region with a sporadic or unreliable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid the risk of leaks and corrosion. This is why it is crucial to install a gas hob after consulting with a Gas Safe Registered fitter who can offer expert installation and follow strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular however, there is a significant market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. Therefore, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, sleek kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, rather than a heated surface or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An alternating electric current is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and induce heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to touch and easy to clean.

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 appropriate cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick cookware are compatible however they require 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 stoves is available, from budget models to high-end brands with a full TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob displays the position of the pan on the full-colour display when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a clock. There are many innovative gadgets, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce smoke, steam, and cooking odors. This model is perfect for homes with a limited space, as it does not require an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in order to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation at an interval of 5-10 centimetres, these fields are in line with the reference value for the magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are expected.

Electric Hobs

The most efficient electric hobs are sleek and designed to match all kitchen styles. They are a good option for those who prefer the ease of using touch controls rather than dials and come with many options to fit your cooking requirements. They are mostly made of glass which is easy to clean and can appear stylish if you go for a black or white design. Some come with the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans while others have an energy boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are becoming more popular due to their modern and clean aesthetic that is in line with the designs of today's kitchens. They cook quickly and provide an excellent level of safety. They tend to cool faster than gas cookers and have an indicator light that remains in place when the cooking area gets hot to the touch. They are also more efficient because the magnetic field only generates heat within the pan itself so you're not heating the air around it.

However, there are things to keep in mind when choosing an induction cooker - most require a specific power supply that is fitted with the right breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a qualified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need an appropriate set of induction pans to benefit the most from them. They can also be more expensive to run because they generally consume more energy than other hobs.
