Types of Hobs

A hob, also referred to as stovetops in North America, is a cooking device that heats pans with electric power or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can pick the one that best fits your kitchen and style.

Induction hobs are equipped with flat ceramic surfaces and either four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are sleek and stylish, and easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs provide a sleek and modern look that can enhance the overall appearance of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and are able to be wiped down in the event of spills or splatters. They are quick to heat up and are energy-efficient, which can reduce your electricity bill. Ceramic hobs can be slow in changing temperature settings. This can be a problem when you are cooking something that requires a quick reduction or increase of the heat.

Electric hobs are made up of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted individually by the rotary knobs. You can use the Boost feature to increase the temperature of a particular zone. Ceramic hobs also have very high heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch even after being shut off. This could be a problem for families with children, so it's advisable to only install them in a location that is away from flammable objects and out of reach of young children.

This type of hob can be installed on a variety worktops, including laminate, solid hardwood and granite. It is also relatively inexpensive and is a great option if you want to replace your old stoves without spending a large amount of money. But, as with all appliances, they do need to be properly installed and connected to the mains, so we recommend hiring an electrician who is experienced to ensure that your new hobs are safe for use.

The drawback of this kind of hob is that it's very sensitive to pan size and shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that's either the exact size as the element or that can fit comfortably into the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, the element will not recognize it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This can lead to uneven cooking results and will make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas are sleek and contemporary in appearance. They are more expensive than electric hobs, and may require professional installations. However, they heat up faster - a full pot of water will typically boil in less than four minutes. This kind of hob is also a great option for cooks who want to limit the amount of heat generated. However, it must be noted that a glass hob is more susceptible to damage than stainless steel ones and may need to be cleaned more often, since the accumulation of grease and residue tends to stay on the surface instead of sliding off.

One of the best examples of a gas-on-glass model is this Bertazzoni hob, which boasts four matt black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs for a an elegant and sophisticated look. The wok ring has a power of 4kW to allow for more versatility and the pan supports are dishwasher-proof.

This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It combines a fashionable piece of toughened glass and cutting-edge cooking technology. The dual rings to the left of the hob offers an inner flame that doubles to ensure uniform heat distribution and accelerates cooking time. It also features an easy-to-read power indicator that lets you control the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-defined settings, including the highest setting for searing steak and a low setting for scrambled eggs.

The simple and intuitive controls were also well appreciated by our testers, who found them to be very simple to use. A few minor issues are that you need to press the controls a further nine times to reach the maximum temperature and the glass can make it difficult to discern what the burners are doing.

A few of the top gas on glass hobs are available for an affordable price like this Neff model. It's not likely to win any design awards but it'll perform the task and be an excellent addition to your kitchen at just over PS120.

Electric hobs

They're also often equipped with a power boost feature that allows you to increase the heat of your cooker for a short amount of time.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric and gas plates. They are therefore more energy-efficient and offer precise temperature control. However, they require a specific kind of pan to function and can be expensive to set up.

Hobs made of glass that are gas-powered are a different option for modern homes. It has a burner underneath an unidirectional glass layer like a traditional gas stove. The glass is heatproof as well as shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than glass that is tempered. A lot of these hobs include a 'hot-surface indicator' that warns you when the hob is heated.

Gas hobs remain a preferred choice for many home chefs However, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and take some time to warm up and cool down. Electric hobs, on the other hand, are more efficient in energy and easy to clean.

For the ultimate in modern efficiency, you can even find electric hobs that are compatible with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between various fuel sources, so you'll be able to adapt to your lifestyle. It's important to note that these hobs must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and require a dedicated 6mm cable for your kitchen. They're not suitable for those with pacemakers, as the electromagnetic field can interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils conduct an alternating electric current under the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the hob, the coils generate magnetic fields that directly heat the pan rather than heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are extremely efficient in terms of energy efficiency, since they don't waste any heat.

There are a variety of models of an induction hob that range from basic ones with only one cooking zone with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs with up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots simultaneously on one flexible zone. Some of these models feature a slider control that is similar to the iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Certain models can even be programmed with settings for certain recipes or www.ovensandhobs.uk food types which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, however they are believed to be more efficient over the long term since they heat up quicker and use a smaller space to heat up which could help you save on energy bills. They also cool down faster and have a safer design with no hot plates, making them ideal for families with children or elderly people who live in the house. However, they do create magnetic forces that can cause interference with certain medical devices like pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll have to keep your induction hob clean as food and debris can build up over time. You can either make use of a basic oven cleaning product or invest in a specialist one to keep your stove in good condition and shining for a longer time. It is not recommended to use any abrasive cleaning product or scratching pads on your induction stove since they could scratch the surface.
