Types of Oven Hob

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

The features to look for include rotary, touch and control of the position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing the button. They also stop them from being smashed down easily, particularly if they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs offer style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. However the glossy surface is susceptible to scratches and stains caused by food residues and cooking burnt-on stains. Cleaning your stove with a regular routine and avoiding using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is essential to keep it looking good and working efficiently.

The hobs of this type are heated by transferring an electrical current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated using control knobs. Some models have a radiant element that emits heat through the glass surface. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially suitable for quick cook times.

Certain ceramic hobs have advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicator that alerts you when the surface is hot to the touch. This prevents burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

It is important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic stove. It is crucial that your pans have flat bottoms, because this ensures even heating and prevents hot spots that could cause food to be overcooked or undercooked. It is also important to avoid moving pans across the surface since this could scratch the glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or the 'I Flex' zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan that has at least 30cm in size to register. We also have models with an auxiliary heater that allows for rapid heating in specific areas or pans. This is great for searing steak and stir-fry. We also have models with an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a predetermined time to prevent it from overheating. This is a useful security feature to have in place to provide peace of mind. This function is activated by pressing 'Power on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or gas cookers, are kitchen appliances that utilize natural gas that is flammable or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) as their fuel. The flame is used to heat both the cookware and the surrounding air. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives extra safety by preventing the body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. However, this elevated design requires a special attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are operated manually and lit by a a match. Modern models come with an automatic igniter, which ensures that the gas is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the temperature. Some gas hobs come with multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which could be a problem when you live in a place with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid the risk of corrosion and leaks. For these reasons, it is crucial to install a gas hob only after consulting an approved Gas Safe fitter who will provide an expert installation and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Although induction and electric hobs are getting more popular but there is a significant market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is largely due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns and local energy prices and availability. As a result, it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want modern and stylish kitchens. They use magnetism to warm the pans instead of a heated plate or burning gas underneath. Below the glass ceramic's surface are copper coils which an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils detect its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to feel and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be easier than gas hobs to clean. To keep your induction stove as fresh as new, all you require is a dampened cloth.

The biggest drawback to induction cooking is that you'll need to have suitable cookware for it. All pans including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick ones, need a base that is magnetic. 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 variety of induction hobs are available, from budget models to top brands that come with a TFT display and an extensive operating menu. When a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will show you its position on a full-color display, and also have an adjustment button or slider that lets you change the power setting or set the timer. There are many innovative gadgets, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware and communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most popular models is an induction stove which comes with an integrated extractor fan to reduce the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with small space because it eliminates the need for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in order to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, at the distance of 5-10 centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value for the magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health risks are expected.

Electric Hobs

The best ovens and hobs electric hobs provide an elegant look and are designed to complement the majority of kitchen designs. They are perfect for those who prefer touch controls to dials, and they come with a variety of options to meet your cooking requirements. They are mostly made of glass, which is easy to clean and can also look stylish if you opt for a black or white design. Some come with a bridge function to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans while others come with the power boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're doing something difficult.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity because they offer a contemporary and sleek design that fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook fast and provide a high degree of security. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers, and they have an indicator light that stays on when the cooking area is hot to the touch. They are also more efficient due to the fact that the magnetic field only generates heat under the pan itself so you're not heating the air around you.

There are some things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require an electrical supply that is paired with the correct cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a licensed electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll require an appropriate set of induction pans to get the most out of them. They may also be more expensive to run since they generally consume more energy than other hobs.
