Types of Oven Hob

A hob is a flat cooking surface that sits above your oven to heat your pots and pans. There are many different kinds of hob including electric, gas and induction.

Look for features like rotary, touch or position controls. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing the button. They also stop them from being knocked down easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic ovens hobs offer style and function in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface can be damaged by food scratches and residues. Cleaning your stove with regular cleaning and avoidance of using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads is crucial to keep it in good shape and functioning efficiently.

The hobs of this style are heated by passing an electric current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements generate heat when they are activated by control knobs. Some models have an element that radiates heat from the surface of the glass. Others employ halogen elements, which are much more powerful and will heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially suitable for cook times that are quick.

Some of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, for example, a residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface remains hot to the touch. This prevents burns. Some also come with child locks to protect children from accidentally altering the settings.

It is essential to select the right cookware for your ceramic stove. It is crucial that your pans have flat bottoms because this ensures even heating and also helps to avoid hot spots that could cause food to be overcooked or undercooked. Also, avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered glass.

To cook with greater flexibility it is recommended to use ceramic hobs that feature dual ring design or I-Flex's zone that can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll require an oven that is at least 30cm in diameter for it to register). We also have models with an auxiliary heater that allows for rapid heating in specific pans or zones. This is ideal for stir-fry or searing steak. There are also models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a specified time to prevent it from overheating. This is a wonderful security feature that gives you peace of mind. This function is activated by pressing "Power on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers, are kitchen appliances that make use of flammable natural gas or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats cookware and the air around it, which allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides extra safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. However, this elevated design requires a special attention when using and cleaning the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids on the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with a match. More recent models feature an automatic igniter that makes sure the gas is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it simple to adjust the level of heat. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which can be problematic when you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can guarantee a safe installation and follow strict safety protocols.

Gas appliances remain popular in a few areas, even though electric and induction hobs and ovens have grown in popularity. This is partly due to the preferences of consumers and environmental concerns in addition to local energy prices and availability. This is why it is important to assess your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs have become popular with our customers who are looking for an elegant, sleek kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans rather than heating plates or burning gas beneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface are copper coils which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface remains cool to the touch and is easy to wipe down.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas counterparts to clean. A simple wipe using a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking great as new.

The biggest drawback to induction cooking is that you must have suitable cookware for it. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick pans are all compatible however they require an induction-compatible magnetic base. 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.

There are a variety of induction hobs that are available, from budget models up to high-end brands with TFT displays and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob will show the pan's position in full-color when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider allows you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are many innovative accessories, such as pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most sought-after models is an induction cooker which comes with an integrated extractor fan to cut down on the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with limited space since it does not require an extractor fan. It makes use of magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference value for the magnetic density for the relevant frequency. No health effects should be expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs offer an elegant look and are designed to complement the majority of kitchen styles. They are a good option for those who like the ease of use of touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to suit your cooking requirements. The majority of these are made from glass, which is clean and elegant in a white or black design. Some models have bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to make room for larger pans. While others have an energy boost button to provide extra heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity due to their contemporary and sleek design that can be incorporated into modern kitchen designs. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. For example, they tend to cool down quicker than gas cookers and have a 'hot' indicator light that is on to alert you when the cooking area is hot to the surface. They are also more efficient because the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

But, there are a few things to consider when choosing an induction hob which is that most require a power supply that is fitted with the appropriate cables and breakers so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a licensed electrician. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll have to buy a set of compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They may cost more because they use more energy.
