Types of Hobs

A hob, also known as stovetop in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans using flames or electricity. There are many different types of hobs. You can choose the one that best hobs uk suits your kitchen and your style.

Induction hobs come with a flat ceramic surface and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs offer modern and sleek design that can enhance the overall appearance of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and are able to be cleaned up when spills or splatters happen. They heat up quickly and are energy efficient which means they can cut down on your electricity bill. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow to change temperatures and can be a hassle when cooking something that requires immediate reduction or an increase in heat.

Electric hobs are comprised of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted by rotary knobs. You can utilize the Boost feature to boost the temperature of a specific area. Ceramic hobs are able to hold heat well, and even after they have been turned off, they will be hot to the touch. It is essential to place ceramic hobs in an area that is far from flammable items and away from children's reach.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be installed on a variety of worktops, such as laminate or solid wood, as well as granite. It is also relatively inexpensive and is a great option if you want to replace your stove without spending a lot. But, as with all appliances, they need to be properly installed and connected to the mains, so we recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure that your new hobs are safe to use.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's extremely sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. You will need to purchase cookware that matches the element precisely or is able to fit comfortably into each of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same size as the element, it won't recognise it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This can result in cooking that is uneven and make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer a sleek, modern aesthetic. While they can be more expensive than electric models and may require professional installation, they often require less time to heat up. It's not unusual for a full pan of water to be boiling within four minutes or less. This kind of stove is also a great option for cooks who prefer to limit the amount of heat produced. However, it must be not forgotten that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel models and may need to be cleaned more frequently, as grease and residue build up tends to stick instead of sliding off.

A great example of a gas on glass model is this Bertazzoni hob uk, which boasts four black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs for a an elegant and sophisticated appearance. It also has an oblong wok ring with 4kW for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

This Bosch gas hob is a highly recommended model. It is a sleek piece of toughened glass with cutting-edge cooking technology. The dual rings on the left of the hob offers an inner flame that doubles to improve uniform heat distribution and speeds up cooking times. It also has a handy power indicator that lets you control the precise 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.

Its simple yet easy-to-use controls were also loved by our test subjects who found them to be very simple to use. There are a few minor disadvantages, for instance, you need to press the controls a further nine times before reaching the maximum heating level, and that the glass can make it difficult to discern the burners' actions.

This Neff model is one of the top gas-on glass hobs that are available at a low cost. It's not going to win any design prizes however it's going to do the job and can be a fantastic addition to your kitchen at just above PS120.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. Not only do they offer an elegant design that blends in with the rest of your kitchen as well, but they also offer advanced functions that are safer, quicker and more energy-efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most well-known electric hobs is a ceramic glass hob. They're made with a sleek, polished, glazed finish. They also have an easy-to-clean surface that is resistant to smudges and scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost function which lets you increase the heat of your hob for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs heat cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. They are therefore more energy efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. However they require a certain kind of pan to work and can be costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a great alternative for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob, it features an oven uk that is surrounded by an underlying layer of flat glass. However, this glass is heatproof and shatterproof, so it's much simpler to clean than glass that's tempered. A lot of these hobs come with a 'hot surface indicator' that warns you when the oven is hot.

Gas hobs are a popular choice for many home chefs however they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and takes some time to warm up and cool down. In contrast, electric hobs are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

There are even electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, so you'll have the flexibility to fit your needs. It is important to note that these stoves will require installation by an approved gas safe engineer and require a dedicated cable of 6mm in your kitchen. They are also not suitable for those with pacemakers because the electromagnetic field can interfere with them.

Induction hobs

On the glass surface of the induction hobs, there are copper coils which run an electrical current that is alternating. When an induction-compatible plate is placed on the hob and oven the coils produce magnetic fields that directly heat the pan rather than heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are very energy efficient, as they don't use any heat.

There are many different models of induction hobs starting from basic models that have only one cooking zone marked by rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction hobs that can have up to six zones and allow the cooking of multiple pots simultaneously in one Flex zone. Some of these models have the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. You can choose the desired temperature by sliding your finger from left to right over the power bar in the middle. Some models have preset settings for specific food types or recipes that can cut down time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are more energy efficient in the long term. They can heat faster and have a smaller heating space which can lower the cost of energy. They also cool down quicker and feature a safer design that doesn't have hot plates, making them perfect for families with children or elderly people who live in the house. They do, however, generate an electric force that could cause interference with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore important to center pans and avoid using smaller pans on bigger burners.

As with all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your induction hob clean regularly because food and debris could build up over time. You can use a standard oven and hob cleaner, or you can purchase a specialist cleaner to keep your stove clean and in good shape 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.
