A hob is a cook top that can be incorporated into an oven worktop. It is also separate from an oven hob. A cooker is a freestanding unit that includes both a stove and an oven.

Malignant - and possibly mischievous sprites of the countryside, Hobs were often combined with Goblin to create the Hobgoblin.

Gas Hobs

In any modern kitchen, a quality hob is essential. No matter if you prefer ceramic, induction, or gas, there's an appliance to suit your taste and budget. A high-quality hob will heat up quickly and evenly to cook your food in a snap, while also adding an elegant look to your kitchen.

The precise temperature control is among its main advantages. It's easy to reach high heat levels which is ideal for boiling water, searing meat and stirring-frying vegetables. Its ability to adjust its heat output quickly is ideal for delicate sauces or dishes that require low temperatures.

Another benefit of a gas stove is its energy efficiency. Gas is less expensive than electricity and can be used to power the hob. Additionally, it uses a direct flame to heat your kitchen utensils which means there is less wasted energy around the edges of the burners.

Modern gas hobs are designed with a sleek appearance to complement any kitchen decor. Models with stainless steel or a glossy black finish will blend seamlessly into your kitchen and make it look more contemporary. You can also select one made of glass which is easy to clean and extremely durable.

Gas hobs have become the most popular choice in modern kitchens due to their versatility and ease of use. They also work well with traditional kitchen designs, especially when you include the range cooker into your layout. But, it is important to remember that they can increase the risk of fire when compared with electric or induction hobs. This is due to the fact that they don't come with the additional safety features of being able to shut off immediately and also having child safety locks on the control knobs.

When choosing a gas stove, be aware of the number of burners and cooking zones you need. You can pick models with either 1, 2 or five cooking zones. Many models also have central wok burners which is a high-powered burner that is suitable for quick boiling or stir-frying. You should also verify the kind of ignition system that is used. Most gas hobs use an electric spark or an ongoing electric pilot flame to ignite the burners.

Induction Hobs

While gas hobs are still an option for home cooks Induction cookers are gaining popularity due to their efficiency and speed. These flat glass-topped hobs utilize magnetism to heat the contents of a pan, rather than heating the surface area, which makes them more efficient, and safer as there is no flame underneath. Induction hobs have a variety of features. Our Good Housekeeping Institute experts found that some of these features can be extremely beneficial.

One of them is a bridge function, baking essentials which allows you to connect two hob rings to accommodate larger pans. You can also choose to regulate the temperature of each ring individually through the touchscreen panel. This is a great option for those who like to entertain. It can also be an essential feature if you have guests with different dietary requirements. It is worth noting though that induction hobs aren't suited for those who have pacemakers because they create electromagnetic fields that can interfere with their operation.

The British Heart Foundation recommends that you maintain a distance of at 60cm between any power source and an active hob, in the event that you wear a pacemaker. The magnetic field produced by the hob could interact with electrical devices and cause malfunction, so you must ensure that the device isn't in the vicinity of a hot plate or near an area of cooking live.

Another induction hob we have available is this model from CDA, which has five hob zones as well as various functions, including melt and simmer which can be perfect for bain maries and slow-cooked stews. The hb was made with safety in mind, so it has child locks and overheat and anti-overflow settings that ensure that there are no accidents or damages.

The design of this induction best hob is more modern than some others we have available. This is evident in the sleek black finish which will integrate well with most kitchen designs. It has a range of options, including a pause feature that lets you switch off the stove without removing the pan and an increase feature that provides an extra amount of power to facilitate a rapid heating up. It is also rated as energy efficient and the touch-screen display comes with some handy pre-set options for your most loved recipes.

When choosing a gas stove, there are plenty of features to consider. Certain models have automatic pan detection as an additional security feature. This allows the cooking zones to activate only when the required cookware is in place to avoid heat loss. Certain hobs feature a mix of cooking zones that can accommodate different sizes of pans. Certain hobs are equipped with child locks that keep unintentional fingers away from the controls. Others even have an auto switch off feature that turns the hob off when it isn't used for a specific duration of time.

Another advantage of LPG is that it's more readily available than electricity, which is usually more difficult to access in rural areas. Being liquid means that it can be stored easily and transported, making it a popular choice for those living in remote areas or catering businesses who don't have access gas lines for mains supply.
