A Guide to Ovens and Hobs

Hobs and ovens give an elegant, modern look to any kitchen, and can be seamlessly integrated into your kitchen worktops and units. Explore our complete oven and hob collection today.

Electric hobs provide heat via different looking cooking rings that can have anywhere from four to six power levels. They can take some time to get warm and cool down.

Hobs of different types

The stove top, kitchen hob or range cooker (the latter being the complete cooking appliance that you roast and bake food in) is a crucial part of every home. It is used to cook all manner of food items and, for this reason it is essential to choose the right type of hob for your cooking style. There's a hob that's suitable for everyone, whether you're a master cook who prefers precision or a busy home cook who wants speed.

Induction and electric stoves are frameless and flat, adding to the sleek look of any kitchen. Each of the five or four zones can be controlled with a separate dial. This allows you the choice of boiling potatoes on one ring while sautéing sausages in another which is ideal for busy families. They also rapidly heat up and feature a smooth surfaces that make them easy to wipe clean. However, they are more expensive than gas hobs and may take longer to cool down.

Gas hobs are popular among chefs because they provide instant heat and provide precise control. They are also safe, with built-in flame failure safety systems that cut off the gas supply in case there's leak. However, they are less efficient than induction or electric hobs, and are more difficult to clean because of the burners and pan supports.

Plate hobs have been around since decades. They have a flat, smooth surface with electric or gas rings that get heated when you turn the dial. They're inexpensive, but they're not ideal for cooking with cast iron because they do not distribute heat evenly across the whole surface.

Induction hobs heat your pan directly, instead of heating up the surface of the hob as with traditional hobs. They're more secure than gas and have no open flame and they're easy to clean. They're also more expensive than gas or electric hobs and may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Gas hobs

A gas stove is a popular option for home cooks due to its speedy heating functionality and easy control. You will typically find models that have between two and six burners. Some models come with a wok burner for stir-frying cooking. Some have a visible flame indicator that shows you whether the oven is on or off.

They heat food faster than induction or electric models, so are ideal for busy kitchens. They can also be cheaper to operate than electric hobs, assuming you use electricity from a supplier that generates renewable energy sources.

You can choose to buy freestanding gas hobs or built-in models. The latter are the best hob choice when you're planning to redesign your kitchen since they can be moved easily later. They can be difficult to put in and might require you to hack into your carpentry work. This isn't the best hob choice for every home.

Freestanding models feature a smooth, flat surface that makes them much easier to clean than other kinds of hobs. They usually have sleek, stainless steel trims that can blend in with many kitchen designs. Some even have touch-sensitive controls and the power boost feature allows you to increase the power of a specific burner by as much as 50%, meaning you can bring a pan of water to a boiling point in no time.

Certain gas hobs come with an automatic flame failure safety system that shuts off the supply of gas when the flame goes out to ensure that you aren't at risk of burning yourself in the process. They are also less expensive than some electric hobs to operate, and also provide precise temperature control for various cooking techniques.

It's worth mentioning that gas hobs emit carbon dioxide as they burn, which could be a problem for people who are concerned about the environment. There are, however, models that don't produce any CO2 while they're in use. They are referred to as "zero emission gas hobs" or eco-friendly gas hobs they have all the usual features of traditional gas models however they don't emit CO2 operating.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a popular choice for kitchens of any design. They offer a number of advantages over other kinds. For starters, they tend to heat up and cool down faster than gas hobs, which means less residual heat is left behind as the cookware is removed. They also heat more evenly and are less likely to have hot spots than certain gas models. Electric models are also easier to maintain and cost less to run than gas models.

Typically seen in modern kitchens, ceramic or glass electric hobs provide a sleek and elegant appearance that is both easy to clean and safe to contact. Their flat surface makes them a favorite option for families who have children, as they're unlikely to be damaged or crushed by heavy pans. They're also fairly inexpensive to run and can be repaired in the event of damage.

Unlike traditional plate hobs, which use coils to generate heat which is transferred to cookware, ceramic hobs employ an induction system that heats directly the pan. They are able to heat and cool faster and are suitable to cook with any type of cookware. They're often pricier than electric plate hobs but they'll reduce your energy costs in the long run because of their high efficiency and the way they convert almost all electrical energy into usable heat.

It is crucial to keep your ceramic or tempered glass cooktop regularly to avoid any issues. Cleaning the cooktop using non-abrasive cleaning products is recommended, as well as looking for and replacing any faulty heating controls and cleaning out the grates and burner caps regularly. It's also important to keep an eye for any indications of gas odour, as it could indicate a problem with the gas lines or a gas leak. It is recommended to contact an experienced gas technician for assistance if you suspect there is an issue. Make sure that the stove has cooled completely before cleaning to prevent any serious damage. This will also help to avoid any accidental spills or fires!

Induction hobs

Modern alternatives to traditional gas and electric hobs, induction cookers utilize an electric field to heat the pan rather than the cooktop. They heat up quicker than other types of stoves, and will save you energy over time. They are also a lot safer to use since the cooktop's surface stays cool to the touch and most have safety features, such as an automatic shut off to prevent accidents.

Most induction hobs have an aluminum or glass top and are powered by an alternating current which creates the magnetic field that is used to heat. A pan that is compatible with induction must have a flat bottom and an iron or steel core, and the magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed on the cooking zone. The majority of hobs have a "bridging zone" that can join two zones together to accommodate larger pans.

Induction hobs are well-known for their efficiency, and a lot of people report dips in their energy costs after switching to one. They are also believed to be safer since the cooktop's surface remains cool to the surface, reducing the chance of burns. Additionally, it only heating the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas stoves, which can become very hot and can pose a fire risk.

Most induction hobs come with different types of controls that are the simplest being the simple power bar or touch mark that is placed on the surface of the hob, or a fully-functional TFT display that shows all the options and lets you easily adjust the power levels or set timers. Induction hobs that are more sophisticated feature numerous small copper coils that are grouped tightly together beneath the cooktop. The magnet under each coil senses when the pan is positioned. Then, it activates the appropriate coil to fit the pan's size and shape.

All of our hobs and ovens are available as stand-alone models or easily integrated into your kitchen's units and worktops for a an elegant, seamless look. Our complete range includes everything from slick black and stainless steel finishes to trendy ceramic and copper.
