Types of Oven Hob

Things to look out for include rotary, touch and controls for position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing a button. They also prevent them from being smashed easily, particularly if they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs offer style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface can be damaged by food residues and scratches. To keep your cooktop looking good and working efficiently you must follow a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pad.

The hobs of this style are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal elements which are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements produce heat when they are activated using control knobs. Some models use an element that emits heat from the glass's surface. Others use halogen elements, which are much more powerful and can heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, making them particularly ideal for cooking in short time.

Many 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 prevent burns. Some also have child locks to prevent children accidentally altering the settings.

For maximum performance, it is essential to use the correct cookware for your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that your pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that can cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface as this could scratch the glass tempered.

For greater flexibility when cooking we recommend ceramic hobs that have a dual ring design or the 'I-Flex' zone which can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll require at least a 30cm-wide pan to allow it to register). We also have models with booster heaters for quick heating in specific areas or pans. This is great for searing steak and stir-fry. We also have models that have an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a predetermined time to prevent overheating. This is a great safety feature that will give you peace of mind. This feature is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes known as gas stove or gas cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses an flammable natural gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats the cookware and the air around it which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob offers additional security by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame, reducing the risk of burns. However, this design requires particular attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are operated manually ovens and hobs uk lit by a matches. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas flame is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it simple to alter the heat level. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This gives you more cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which may be a problem when you live in an area with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to prevent the risk of corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can guarantee that the installation is safe and follow strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances remain popular in a few areas, even though electric and induction hobs are growing in popularity. This is largely due to consumer preferences and concerns about the environment and local energy prices and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the kitchen's cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a type.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers looking for modern and stylish kitchens. They use magnetism to warm the pans instead of heating plates or burning gas beneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface sit copper coils that create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surfaces remain cool to the touch and is also easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, induction hobs are also designed to be more easy to clean than gas counterparts. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the correct cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and certain non-stick pans 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 variety of induction hobs are available, from budget models to high-end brands with a TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob displays the pan's location on a full-color 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 a variety of clever gadgets, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware and communicate with the hob using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs that have a built-in fan can reduce steam, smoke, and cooking odors. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it removes the need for a separate extractor fan. Similar to other induction hobs it uses magnetic fields that operate within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that is absorbed by your 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 magnetic density at the relevant frequency. There are no health risks to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs offer sleek design and are designed to fit all kitchen styles. These are great for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and they come with a range of options that will suit your cooking requirements. 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 the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others have the power boost button to provide extra heat when you're doing something particularly tricky.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a modern and clean aesthetic that blends well with the modern designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. For example they tend to cool faster than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that remains on to alert you when the cooking zone is hot to the touch. They also are more efficient, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.

There are some things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require a power supply that is configured with the appropriate cables and breakers. We suggest installing it by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs are expensive, and you will need to buy a set of compatible induction pans if you want to make the most of them. They are more expensive because they use more energy.
