Types of Hobs

A hob, which is also known as stovetops in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans using flames or electricity. There are a variety of hobs, and you can pick one that is best suited to your preferences and kitchen.

Induction hobs have a flat ceramic cooking surface and include four or five zones to heat your pans. The contemporary designs that operate with a touch are sleek and stylish and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern and sleek appearance. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are easy to clean and can easily be wiped down when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to lower your electric bill. However, one disadvantage of ceramic hobs is that they may be slow in changing the temperature, which can be frustrating when cooking something that requires a quick reduction or an increase in heat.

Electric hobs consist of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. They can be controlled individually with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the power level you require. You can use the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a particular area. Ceramic hobs retain heat very well, so even after they have been turned off, they will still be hot to the touch. It is important to put ceramic hobs in a place that is safe from items that could ignite and away from children's reach.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be installed on a variety of worktops, including laminate or solid wood, as well as granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent alternative if you're looking to replace your old hobs without spending too much money. As with all appliances, they must be installed correctly and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure the new hobs are safe to use.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's extremely sensitive to pan size and shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that is either the exact same size as the element or that will fit comfortably inside each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware is not the same size as the element, the element won't recognise it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent results in cooking and makes the hob less energy efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas are sleek and contemporary in design. While they be more expensive than electric models and require professional installation, they typically take less time to heat up. It's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to boil in four minutes or less. This type of hob is also a great option for cooks who want to limit the amount of heat being produced. Glass hobs are more susceptible to damage and require frequent cleaning as they are more likely to accumulate grease and sludge.

This Bertazzoni hob is an excellent example of gas on glass. It features four monobloc burners in matt black, with control knobs made of metal to give it a chic, sophisticated look. It also includes a 4kW wok ring for additional versatility, as well as dishwasher-proof pan supports that are easy to clean.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It is a sleek piece of toughened glass with modern cooking technology. The dual ring design on the left of the gas hob has a double inner burner to increase the distribution of heat and speed up cooking. It also has an easy-to-read power indicator that lets you control the exact temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-defined settings including the high setting for searing steaks and an option for scrambled eggs.

Our test subjects also appreciated the controls because they were simple and intuitive. Some minor issues are that you need to physically press the controls nine times to reach the highest level of heating, and that it can be difficult to see the state of the burners through the glass.

A few of the top gas-on-glass hobs are available for an affordable price, such as this Neff model. Although it's unlikely to be a winner of any design awards but it can do the job well and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen for less than 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

There are a number of electric hobs that are ideal for modern households. They're not only sleek and stylish, they are they are also safer, faster and more efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most sought-after electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. These hobs are designed with sleek glazed finishes, and feature an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also often equipped with a power boost feature, which allows you to increase the heat of your hob for ovensandhobs a short amount of time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes. As opposed to traditional gas and electric plate hobs, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. This means they are more energy efficient and have precise temperature control. However they require a certain type of pan to function and can be costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a different option for modern homes. It features a burner beneath the glass, which is flat, similar to a conventional gas stove. However, this glass is heatproof and shatterproof, so it's much easier to clean than the typical tempered glass. Many of these hobs have an "hot surface indicator" which alerts you to the temperature.

Gas hobs remain a preferred choice for many home chefs, but they can be noisy and hard to clean. They can take a long time to heat up and cool down, and their flame can be difficult to manage. On the other hand, electric hobs are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

For the ultimate in modern efficiency, you can even find electric hobs that are compatible with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, so you'll be able to adapt to your lifestyle. It's important to note, however, that these hobs require the installation of an approved gas safe engineer. They also require an appropriate cable of 6mm for your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for people with pacemakers since the electromagnetic field could cause interference with them.

Induction hobs

Copper coils create an electric current that is alternating beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on a hob, the coils generate magnetic fields that produce heat directly inside the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). Induction hobs are very efficient in energy use, since they don't squander heat.

There are many different models of induction hobs starting from basic models that have one cooking zone that is with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that have up to six zones, allowing you to cook multiple pots simultaneously on one flex zone. Certain models come with the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Some models even have pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are also more energy efficient in the long run. They heat up faster and have a smaller heating space which can reduce the cost of energy. They also cool faster and have a more secure design that doesn't have hot plates, making them perfect for families with young children or elderly persons who live in the house. However, they create magnetic fields that could affect medical devices such as pacemakers so it's important to center your pans over the burner and avoid placing small pans on large burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll have to keep your induction hob clean, because food and debris could accumulate over time. You can use an oven cleaner, or you can invest in a specialist product to help keep your hob clean and in good shape for longer. It is not recommended to use the abrasive cleaning products or the a scouring pad on your stove since they could scratch the surface.
