Types of Hobs

A hob, also referred to as a stovetop in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans by using electric or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can choose the one that best hobs uk suits your kitchen and your style.

Induction hobs have flat ceramic surfaces and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. The modern touch-operated designs look sleek and elegant and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs offer modern and sleek design which can greatly improve the overall look of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are easy to clean and are able to be cleaned in the event of spills or splatters. They are fast to heat up and are energy-efficient, which can reduce your electricity bill. Ceramic hobs can be slow when changing temperature settings. This can be frustrating when you are cooking something that requires a rapid decrease or an increase in heat.

Electric hobs use a solid plate that is heated by electric elements underneath. The elements can be controlled separately with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the power level you require. You can utilize the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a certain zone. Ceramic hobs retain heat very well, so even after they are turned off, they will still be hot to the touch. This can be a challenge for families with children, so it's advisable to install them in a place which is far from any flammable items and out of reach of children.

It is also relatively affordable and can be a great option if you're looking to replace your previous hobs oven without spending too much money. Like any appliance, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that the new hobs are safe to use.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's sensitive to the size of the pan and shape. It is essential to purchase cookware that matches the element precisely or fits comfortably in each of the heating zones. If the cookware doesn't fit the element, it will not recognize it and won't start to heat the base of the pan. This could result in uneven cooking and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas-powered glass hobs have a sleek, modern aesthetic. While they can cost more than electric models and may require professional installation, they often take less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to come to a boil within four minutes or less. This kind of hob is a great choice for cooks who need to limit the amount of heat is produced. However, it must be observed that a glass-based hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel ones and may need to be cleaned more often, since the accumulation of grease and residue tends to stick instead of slipping off.

The dual rings on the left of the hob offers a double inner flame to improve uniform heat distribution which increases cooking time. It also has a handy power level indicator, which assists in regulating the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-set settings, like a high setting to sear steaks and a low one for scrambled egg.

The simple, yet intuitive controls were appreciated by our testers who found them be very easy to use. Some minor disadvantages include the fact that you need to physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest heating level, and that it can be difficult to discern the state of the burners through the glass.

Electric hobs

There are many electric hobs that 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 advanced functions that are safer, faster and more efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. They're made with a sleek, glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface that's resistant to smudges or scratches. They also come with a power booster function that lets you increase your heat for a short period of time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob perfect for modern homes. In contrast to traditional electric and gas plate hobs, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. They are therefore more energy-efficient and offer precise temperature control. They require a particular type of pan and could be expensive to put in.

A gas on glass hob is a second option that's an excellent choice for modern homes. Similar to a traditional gas hob, it features an oven hob that is surrounded by a layer of flat glass. The glass is heatproof as well as shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempering glass. A lot of these hobs include a 'hot-surface indicator', which alerts you when the oven is hot.

They're not suitable for those with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field can interfere with them.

Induction hobs

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

There are a myriad of models of induction stoves starting with the basic models with a single zone marked by rings up to more advanced multi-zoned induction stoves that can have up to 6 zones and allow multiple pots to be cooked simultaneously on one flex area. Certain models come with a touch slider control that is very similar to the way you operate on an iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by moving your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Certain models have preset settings for specific food types or recipes, which can save time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs do tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are believed to be more efficient over the long term as they heat up much quicker and have a smaller area to heat up, which can help lower your energy costs. They also cool down quicker and feature a safer design with no hot plates, which makes them perfect for families with children or older people who live in the house.
