Types of oven with hob Hob

A hob is a flat, elevated surface that heats pots and pans. There are different types of hobs, including gas, electric and induction.

The features to look for include rotary, touch and controls for position. These controls allow you to control heating zones by pressing a button. They also protect them from being knocked down easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are stylish and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. Cleaning your stove with regular cleaning and avoidance of using scrubbers or abrasive cleaners is key to keeping it in good condition and functioning effectively.

These types of hobs are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements hidden beneath the glass surface which produce heat when activated via control knobs. Some models have an element that emits heat through the surface of the glass. Certain models have halogen elements which are more powerful. They are able to heat the entire surface in successions of pulses.

Many ceramic hobs we sell have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that prevent children from accidentally changing the settings.

For optimal performance, it is important to select the right cookware for your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that the pans have a flat bottom, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this can scratch the tempered-glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an the 'I Flex zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll need a pan with minimum dimensions of 30cm to register. Alternatively, we also offer models that have a booster burner for rapid heating of specific zones or pots - great for stir-fry and searing steak. We also have some models that have an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a set time to avoid overheating. This is a wonderful safety feature that will give you peace of assurance. This function is usually activated by pressing the 'Power' button on the control panel when you have your appliance set to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a predetermined period of time.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers are kitchen appliances that utilize natural gas that is flammable or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats the cookware as well as the air surrounding it which allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob provides added security as it stops the body from coming into contact with the flame, reducing the possibility of burning. However, this elevated construction requires a special care when cleaning and using the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with matches. The latest models have an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it simple to alter the temperature. Some gas hobs come with multiple flame burners, based on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which may be problematic when you live in a region with an unreliable or erratic supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid the risk of leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can guarantee that the installation is safe and follow strict safety protocols.

Although induction and electric hobs are gaining popularity but there is an enormous market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preference and environmental concerns, in addition to local energy prices and availability. It is essential to take into consideration your kitchen's infrastructure and utility costs prior to selecting a kitchen style.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want modern and stylish kitchens. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans rather than the surface being heated or burning gas underneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface are copper coils which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface remains cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be more easy to clean than gas counterparts. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking good as new.

The primary drawback with induction cooking is that you must possess the appropriate cookware. All pans that include cast iron, stainless steel and non-stick ones, need 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.

A range of induction stoves is available, ranging from budget models to top brands that come with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob will display the pan's position on a full-color display when it is in an area of power. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a timer. There are other clever accessories available, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and connect to the oven hob through bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner.

One of our most adored models is an induction cooker that includes a built-in extractor fan to cut down on the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it utilizes magnetic fields with frequencies in the kilohertz range to generate the heat that is absorbed by the contents of your pan. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference value for the magnetic density for the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The best ovens electric hobs are sleek and designed to match the majority of kitchen designs. They are a great option for those who prefer the convenience of using control buttons instead of dials. They also come with a variety of options to meet your cooking requirements. Most are made from glass, which is easy to clean and can also look elegant if you opt for a black or white design. Some have the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others come oven with hob an energy boost button to provide additional heat when doing something difficult.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that is in line with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and provide a high degree of safety. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers and have an indicator light that remains on when the cooking area is hot to the touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.

There are a few things to consider when choosing an electric hob. Most require an electrical supply that is paired with the right cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll have to buy a set of compatible induction pans to get the most value from them. They can be more expensive because they require more energy.
