Types of Hobs

A hob, also known as a stovetop in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans by using flames or electricity. There are a variety of hobs available, so you can pick one that suits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs come with an elongated ceramic surface and four or five zones to heat your pans. The contemporary designs that operate with a touch are sleek and elegant and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a sleek, modern look. They have a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, which means spills and splatters are quickly wiped away. They heat up quickly and are energy-efficient, which can reduce the cost of electricity. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow in changing the temperature and can be a hassle when cooking something that requires immediate reduction or increase in temperature.

Electric hobs utilize plates that are heated by electric elements under. These elements can be controlled separately with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the power level you require. You can also use the boost feature to boost the heat of a single zone. Ceramic hobs also have very high rate of heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch even after being turned off. It is essential to place ceramic hobs in a location that is safe from any flammable objects and away from children's reach.

It's also fairly inexpensive and can be a great option if you want to replace your old stoves without spending a lot of money. But, as with all appliances, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains power supply, so we suggest hiring a professional electrician to ensure your new hobs are safe for use.

The downside to this kind of hob is that it's very sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. You'll need to buy cookware that either matches the element precisely or fits comfortably in all of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, the element won't recognise it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This can lead to uneven cooking results and make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs have a sleek and modern appearance. They are more expensive than electric models and could require professional installation. However they are also more efficient in heating and an entire pot of water can often boil within less than four minutes. This kind of hob is a great choice for cooks who wish to control the amount of heat that is generated. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to build up grease and residue.

One of the best hob uk examples of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four matt black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs that create a a stylish and sophisticated finish.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which combines a stylish slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left of the gas hob has two burners inside to improve heat distribution and speed up cooking. It also comes with an excellent power level indicator that helps to regulate the precise temperature of your flame. You can choose from nine preset settings, including the highest setting for searing steaks and a low setting for scrambled eggs.

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

There are a variety of models of an induction hob that range from basic ones with one cooking zone that is with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that can have up to six zones, allowing you to cook multiple pots simultaneously in one flex zone.
