Types of Hobs

A hob, which is also known as stovetop in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans by using electric power or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can pick the one that is best suited to your Kitchen Essentials and your style.

Induction hobs are equipped with flat ceramic surfaces and four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are sleek and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs offer a sleek and modern look that can enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. They have a flat glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean, so spills and splatters are quickly wiped away. They are fast to heat up and are energy efficient and can lower your electricity bill. Ceramic hobs aren't always fast when changing temperature settings. This can be frustrating when you have to cook something that requires quick decrease or an increase in the heat.

Electric hobs are made up of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted by the rotary knobs. You can utilize the Boost feature to boost the temperature of a certain zone. Ceramic hobs also have a very high heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch after being turned off. It is important to put ceramic hobs in an area that is away from any flammable objects and away from children's reach.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be set up in a variety of worktops, including laminate or solid wood, as well as granite. It's also fairly affordable and is an excellent option if you're looking to replace your old hobs, but without spending a lot of money. As with all appliances, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure your new hobs are safe to use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and sizes. You will need to purchase cookware that either matches the element precisely or fits comfortably in each of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, it won't recognize it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in inconsistent cooking results and will make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs have a sleek and modern design. They can be more expensive than electric models and may require professional installations. However they are also more efficient in heating as an entire pot of water can often boil within less than four minutes. This kind of hob is also a good choice for cooks who prefer to regulate the amount of heat generated. However, it should be not forgotten that a glass hob is more susceptible to damage than stainless steel ones and will likely need to be cleaned more often, since grease and residue build up tends to stay on the surface instead of slipping off.

One of the best ovens and hobs examples of a gas-on-glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four matt black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs for a a stylish and sophisticated finish. The wok ring is 4kW for extra versatility and the pan supports are dishwasher safe.

This Bosch gas hob is a highly recommended model. It combines a fashionable piece of toughened glass and modern cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob and oven provides a double inner burner to improve heat distribution and speed up cooking. It also has an indicator for power that allows you to regulate the exact temperature of the flame. You can choose from nine pre-defined settings including a high setting for searing steaks and the low setting for scrambled eggs.

The simple and intuitive controls were appreciated by our testers, who found them to be extremely easy to use. A few minor issues are that you need to press the controls nine more times to reach the maximum heating level and that the glass can make it difficult to discern the burners' actions.

This Neff model is among the top gas-on glass hobs that are available at a low cost. Although it's unlikely to be a winner of any design awards, it does the job well and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen at just 120 pounds.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. They not only offer a sleek design that fits in with the rest of your kitchen, but they also provide modern technology that is safer, quicker and more efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. These hobs have a sleek glazed finish, and feature an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost feature, which allows you to increase the temperature of your stove for a short period of time.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly with electromagnetic fields unlike traditional electric and gas plates. They are therefore more energy efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a special type of pan and can be costly to set up.

A gas on glass hob is a different option that's an excellent option for modern homes. It has a burner underneath the glass, which is flat, like a traditional gas stove. However the glass is shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much simpler to clean than the typical tempered glass. A majority of these hobs have a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the hob is heated.

While gas hobs remain an option that is popular with home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and can take an extended time to get hot and cool off. On the other hand electric hobs are energy-efficient and simpler to clean.

There are even electric stoves that are compatible LPG gas. You can switch between various fuels, giving you the flexibility to adapt to your lifestyle. It is important to note, however, that these stoves will require the installation of an accredited gas safe engineer and require a separate cable of 6mm to be installed in your kitchen. These hobs are not suitable for those with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field may interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Under the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils which run an electrical current that varies. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob the coils create magnetic fields that create heat directly in the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs extremely efficient from a energy standpoint, as there's no residual heat being wasted.

There are a variety of models of induction stoves, from the basic ones with a single zone identified by rings up to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction stoves that have up to six zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked within a flex area. Certain models come with the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. Simply swipe your finger over the power bar located in the middle to choose the desired temperature left to right increases heat and right to left decreases it. Certain models have preset settings that are specific to food items or recipes that can cut down time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs do tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, however they are believed to be more energy efficient over the long term because they heat up quicker and have a smaller surface to heat up which could help reduce your energy bills. They also cool down faster and have a safer design that doesn't have hot plates, making them ideal for families with children or older people living in the house. However, they can create magnetic fields that could interfere with some medical devices like pacemakers so it's important to center your pans on the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

As with all electric hobs you will have to clean your induction hob regularly, as food and debris can accumulate over time. You can use an oven cleaner, or opt for a specialist product to keep your stove shiny and in good condition for longer. Make sure you don't use the abrasive cleaning pads or pads to scour your induction hob since they can scratch the surface.
