Types of Hobs

A hob, also known as a stovetop in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans with electric or flames. There are a variety of hobs, and you can pick one that fits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs come with an elongated ceramic cooking surface and have four or five zones for heating your pans. The contemporary designs that operate with a touch are sleek and elegant and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs offer modern and sleek design that can enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. They have a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to lower your electric bill. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow to adjust temperature settings, which can be frustrating when cooking food that requires a quick reduction or increase in temperature.

Electric hobs are made of an uncooked plate that is heated by electric elements under. The power of each element can be adjusted through rotating knobs. You can utilize the Boost feature to boost the temperature of a specific area. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being shut off. It's important to install ceramic hobs oven in a location that is safe from items that could ignite and away from children's reach.

This kind of hob can be mounted on a variety of worktops such as laminate, solid hardwood and granite. It is also relatively affordable and is an excellent option if you're looking to replace your old hobs, but without spending a lot of money. However, like all appliances they do need to be installed correctly and connected to the mains power supply, so we would recommend hiring an electrician who is experienced to ensure that your new hobs are safe to use.

The drawback of this kind of hob is that it's very sensitive to pan size and shape. You'll need to buy cookware that's either the exact size as the element or that can fit comfortably into each of the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware is not the same dimensions as the element, the element won't recognize it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This can result in cooking that is uneven and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer an elegant, modern look. They can be more expensive than electric hobs, and require professional installation. However they are also more efficient in heating as the water in a full pot can typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This type of stove works well for cooks who need to control how much heat is generated. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they are more likely to accumulate grease and other residue.

One of the best examples of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, that has four matt black monobloc burners, each with precise metal control knobs to create an elegant and sophisticated appearance. It also includes a 4kW wok ring for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob that combines the look of a sleek slab of toughened glass with the latest cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob features two burners inside to improve the distribution of heat and speed up cooking. It also comes with an excellent power level indicator, which allows you to control the precise temperature of the flame. You can choose from nine preset settings, such as high settings to sear steaks and a lower one for scrambled eggs.

Our testers also liked the controls as they were simple and intuitive. Some minor drawbacks are that you must press the controls a further nine times to reach the maximum heating level and that the glass can make it difficult to discern the burners' actions.

Some of the best ovens and hobs uk gas on glass hobs can be found at an affordable price like this Neff model. While it's not going to win any design awards however, it serves the purpose well and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen at just 120 dollars.

Electric hobs

There are many electric hobs that work for modern households. Not only do they offer an elegant design that blends into the rest of your kitchen as well, but they also offer advanced functions that are safer, faster and more efficient in energy use than their predecessors.

One of the most well-known electric hobs is a ceramic hob. These hobs are designed with a sleek glazed finish, and have an exterior that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. These hobs are also fitted with a power booster feature that allows you to increase the heat for a short duration.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes. Unlike traditional gas and electric plate hobs, induction hobs use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. They are therefore more energy efficient and provide precise temperature control. However, they require a specific kind of pan to work and are costly to set up.

Gas on glass hobs are another great option for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it comes with the burner underneath an underlying layer of flat glass. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, which makes it easier to clean than tempering glass. Many of these hobs also include a 'hot-surface indicator', which informs you when the hob is hot.

While gas hobs are still an option that is popular with home cooks, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They also take a while to heat up and cool down, and their flame can be hard to control. In contrast, electric hobs are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

For the ultimate in modern technology, you can even find electric hobs that are compatible with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, meaning you'll be able to suit your lifestyle. It's important to keep in mind that these hobs must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and require a dedicated 6mm cable in your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for those who have pacemakers since the electromagnetic field may interfere with them.

Induction hobs

Under the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils that run an electrical current that varies. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob the coils produce magnetic fields that produce heat directly inside the pan, rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs very efficient from a energy perspective, as there's no residual heat being wasted.

There are a variety of models of induction hobs oven starting from basic models that have a single cooking zone with rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction hobs with up to six zones and allow you to cook multiple pots simultaneously in one flexible zone. Some of these premium models come with the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar in the middle. Some models even have pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food items that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, however they are thought to be more efficient over the long term since they heat up faster and have a smaller surface for heating up which can help reduce your energy bills. They cool down faster and also are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them ideal for families that have children or elderly residents. However, they do generate magnetic forces that can interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore crucial to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on bigger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your induction hob clean, since food particles and other debris can accumulate over time. You can either use a standard oven cleaning product or invest in a professional one to keep your oven in good condition and shiny for longer. Just be sure to never use scrubbers or pads for scouring on your induction hob since they can scratch the surface.
