Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove tops in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans with flame or electricity. There are several different types of hobs available, so you can choose one that suits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs feature an elongated ceramic cooking surface ovens and hobs uk come with four or five zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are elegant and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a sleek, modern appearance. They have a flat glass ceramic surface that is easy to clean, so spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They heat up quickly and are energy efficient and can lower your electric bill. Ceramic hobs can be slow when changing the temperature settings. This can be a problem when you have to cook something that requires a quick reduction or an increase in the heat.

Electric hobs oven (site) are comprised of a solid, textured surface that is heated from below by electric elements. These elements can be controlled separately with rotary knobs, and then tacked to the power level you require. You can even use the boost feature to increase the temperature of a single area. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, which means they'll stay hot to the touch after being turned off. This can be a challenge when you have children, so it's recommended to install them in an area that is away from flammable objects and not within reach of young children.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be set up on a variety worktops, such as laminate, solid wood and granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent option for those looking to replace your previous hobs without spending too much money. Like any appliance, they must be installed correctly and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that the new hobs are safe to use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and sizes. You'll need to buy cookware that's the exact size as the element or that can fit comfortably into each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware isn't compatible the element, it won't recognize it and will not begin to heat up the base of the pan. This can cause uneven cooking and make the hob uk less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern design. They are more expensive than electric models and could require professional installation. However, they heat up faster as an entire pot of water can often boil in less than four minutes. This type of stove works well for cooks who wish to control the amount of heat that is produced. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to build up grease and other residue.

A fantastic example of a gas on glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four matt black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs that create a an elegant and sophisticated appearance. The wok ring has a power of 4kW to allow for more versatility and the pan supports are dishwasher-safe.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It combines a fashionable piece of toughened glass with advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob features two burners inside to increase the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking. It also comes with a handy power indicator that allows you to regulate the exact temperature of the flame. You can choose between nine pre-set settings, like a high setting to sear steaks and a low one for scrambled egg.

Our test participants also liked the controls as they were simple and intuitive. Some minor disadvantages include the fact that you need to physically press the controls nine times to get to the highest temperature and it may be difficult to determine the status of the burners through the glass.

This Neff model is one of the top gas-on glass hobs that you can buy at a reasonable price. While it's not going to be a winner of any design awards but it can do the job well and is an excellent addition to your kitchen for less than 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. Not only do they have an elegant design that blends into the rest of your kitchen, but they also provide advanced functions that are safer, faster and more energy-efficient than their predecessors.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most popular electric stoves. They are designed with sleek glazed finishes, and feature a surface that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also often equipped with a power boost feature which lets you increase the heat of your cooker for a short amount of time.

Another electric hob that is suitable for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs heat cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional gas and electric plates. They are therefore more energy efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a special type of pan and could be expensive to put in.

Gas on glass hobs are a different option for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it comes with the burner underneath a layer of flat glass. However, this glass is heatproof and shatterproof, so it's easier to clean than glass that's tempered. A lot of these hobs include a 'hot-surface indicator', which alerts you when the oven with hob is hot.

Gas hobs remain a popular option for many home cooks, but they can be noisy and hard to clean. They can take a long time to warm up and cool down and their flame can be hard to control. Electric hobs on the other side, are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

For the ultimate in modern efficiency, you can even find electric hobs compatible with LPG gas. You can switch between a variety of fuels, giving you the flexibility needed to adapt to your lifestyle. But, it's important to note that these stoves must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for those with pacemakers because the electromagnetic field can cause interference with them.

Induction hobs

Copper coils conduct an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible dish is placed on a hob, the coils create magnetic fields that produce heat directly in the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are extremely efficient in energy use, since they don't waste any heat.

There are a myriad of models of induction hobs that range from basic ones that have a single cooking zone that is marked with rings to more advanced multi-zoned hobs with up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots simultaneously on one flex zone. Certain models have a touch slider control that looks very similar to the way you use an iPhone. You can choose the desired temperature by moving your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Some models have preset settings for specific food items 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 efficient over the long term as they heat up much quicker and have a smaller surface to heat up which could help you save on energy bills. They cool faster and are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them perfect for families with children or elderly residents. However, they do produce a magnetic force that could interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your electric hob clean regularly since food particles and other debris can build up over time. You can use a standard oven cleaner, or purchase a specialist cleaner to help keep your hob clean and in good shape for longer. You should never use abrasive cleaning products or scouring pad on your induction stove since they could scratch the surface.
