Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an elevated flat surface that is used to heat pans and pots. There are a variety of types of hobs, including electric, gas and induction.

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

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic ovens hobs offer style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food residues and scratches. Cleaning your stove with a regular routine and avoiding using scrubbers or abrasive cleaners is crucial to keep it in good shape and functioning efficiently.

The hobs of this type are heated by passing an electric current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are turned on using control knobs. Certain models feature an element that radiates, which emits heat through the glass surface. Some models employ halogen elements which are more effective. They can heat the entire surface with repeated pulses.

Certain ceramic hobs are equipped with advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface is hot to the touch. This helps prevent burns. Some also come with child locks to prevent children accidentally altering the settings.

To ensure optimal performance, it is essential to use the correct cookware for your ceramic cooktop. It is crucial that your pans have flat bottoms because this ensures even heating and helps avoid hot spots that can 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 we recommend ceramic hobs that have dual ring designs or an the 'I-Flex' zone which can accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll require an best oven that is at least 30cm in diameter to allow it to register). We also have models that have a booster burner for rapid heating of certain zones or pots - great for stir-fry or searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off feature which shuts off the stove at a set time to prevent overheating. This is a wonderful security feature that can give you peace of peace of. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel if you have your appliance set to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a set period of time.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, often referred to as a gas stove or gas cooker, is a kitchen appliance that uses an flammable natural gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats cookware as well as the air surrounding it, which allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob offers additional security as it stops the body from coming in contact with the flame, eliminating the risk of burns. However, this design requires a special care when cleaning and using the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids on the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by matches or an igniter, and the burners are controlled manually. Modern models come with an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is ignited automatically. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it easy to adjust the level of heat. Based on the model, certain gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners for increased cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which can be problematic if you live in a place that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance in order to prevent corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can ensure that the installation is safe and follow strict safety protocols.

While electric and induction hobs are becoming more popular but there is a significant market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is partly due to consumer preferences and concerns about the environment, as well as local energy prices and availability. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans rather than an evaporating surface or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are positioned under the glass ceramic surface. An alternating electric current is run through them. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, oven hob the coils detect its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to touch and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas counterparts to clean. To keep your induction hob fresh as new, all you require is a damp cloth.

Induction cooking requires that you use the right cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick cookware are compatible but they need 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 to choose from, from budget models up to top brands that feature TFT displays with an extensive menu of operating options. The hob displays the position of the pan in full-color when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider lets you to change the power setting or set a timer. There are many innovative gadgets, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most sought-after models is an induction stove with an integrated extractor fan to reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space, as it does not require an extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it makes use of magnetic fields with frequencies in the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that is absorbed by your 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 are sleek and designed to fit most kitchen designs. They are a great choice for those who prefer the ease of using touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to suit your cooking requirements. Most of them are made from glass, which is clean and stylish in a black or a white design. Some models have bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to make room for larger pans. While others have a power boost button for an extra amount of heat when you're doing something difficult.

Induction ovens hobs have become increasingly popular due to their contemporary and clean look that fits in well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They also cook quickly and offer a high level of security. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have an indicator light that remains on when the cooking area becomes hot to touch. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.

There are some things to consider when choosing an electric hob. Most require a power supply that is configured with the correct cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a licensed electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll have to purchase a set compatible induction pans if you want to get the most value from them. They are also more expensive to operate because they often use more energy than other hobs.
