Types of Oven Hob

A hob is flat cooking surface that is placed over your oven to cook your pots and pans. There are a variety of hobs, such as gas, electric and induction.

Look for features like buttons that rotate control, touch or position. These allow you to control the heating zones by the touch of a button. They also stop them being knocked over easily particularly by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are stylish and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratches and residues. To ensure that your stove looks well-maintained and operating efficiently you must follow an ongoing cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

The hobs of this type are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components which are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements produce heat when they are activated by control knobs. Certain models employ an element that emits heat through the glass's surface. Other models use halogen elements which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, making them especially suitable for cook times that are quick.

A lot of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that warn you when the surface is hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is essential to select the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This will ensure that your pans have a flat bottom, which helps to ensure even heat distribution and helps prevent hot spots that could result in food being overcooked or undercooked. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface, as this could scratch the tempered-glass.

To allow for greater flexibility in cooking, we recommend our ceramic hobs that have dual ring design or 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have an oven that is at least 30cm in diameter to allow it to register). Alternatively, we also offer models with a booster burner for rapid heating of certain zones or pots, which is great for stir-fry and searing steak. There are also models that have an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a specified time to prevent overheating. This is a helpful safety feature to have in place to provide peace of mind. This feature is activated by pressing 'Power on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers are kitchen appliances that utilize natural gas that is flammable, or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) as their fuel. The flame heats both cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob adds security as it stops the body from coming into contact with the flame, thus reducing the risk of burns. This elevated construction does require special care when using or cleaning the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by a match or by a pilot light, and the burners are controlled by hand. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit in a timely manner. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the temperature. Certain gas hobs have multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which could be problematic if you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid harmful leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can ensure that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular, there is still a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is partly due to the preferences of consumers and concerns about the environment in addition to local energy prices and availability. As a result, it is crucial to evaluate your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure before choosing a model of hob.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers who want an elegant and sleek kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans instead of an oven or a plate that is heated or burning gas beneath. Under the glass ceramic surface are copper coils which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pan or pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to feel and easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than gas counterparts. To keep your induction stove as fresh as new, all you need is a dampened cloth.

The biggest drawback to cooking induction is that you'll need to have the right cookware. All cookware, including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick and cast iron, must have an iron base that is magnetized. 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.

There is a wide selection of induction hobs available that range from low-cost models to top brands that feature a TFT display with a full menu of operation. When a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will show its location on the full-color display. It also has the option of a slider or control button which allows you to change the power setting or set an alarm. There are a variety of clever gadgets, including pan sensors that stick to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most popular models is an induction cooker that includes a built-in extractor fan that helps to reduce smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It makes use of magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency range to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation at the distance of 5-10 centimetres, these fields are in line with the reference value for magnetic flux density established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health risks are anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The best ovens and hobs uk electric hobs provide an elegant look and are designed to fit all kitchen styles. They are a good option for those who like the ease of use of touch controls rather than dials, and offer a variety of options to suit your cooking requirements. They are mostly made of glass, which is easy to clean and elegant in a white or black design. Some come with the ability to bridge two zones to make room for larger pans. While others have the power boost button to provide additional heat when doing something difficult.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they offer a contemporary and sleek design that is in keeping with modern kitchen designs. They cook quickly and offer an excellent level of safety. For example, they tend to cool down faster than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that stays on to inform you that the cooking area is hot to the contact. They also work more efficiently, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

There are a few things to think about when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require an electrical supply that is paired with the right cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a licensed electrician. Induction hobs are expensive and you'll need to purchase a set of compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They may also be more expensive to operate because they generally consume more energy than other hobs.
