Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electric current through coiled components hidden beneath the glass surface, that generate heat when they are activated through control knobs. Certain models feature a radiant element that emits heat through the glass surface. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them particularly suitable for cook times that are quick.

A lot of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch to avoid burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

For maximum performance, it is important to use appropriate cookware with your ceramic hob. This ensures that the pans have a flat bottom, which ensures uniform heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. You should also avoid drag pans across the kitchen surface since this could scratch the tempered glass.

We recommend ceramic best hobs with dual-ring designs, or the 'I Flex' zone. It can accommodate two single pots, or one large pan. You'll require a pan of a minimum size of 30cm to allow it to register. There are models that have a booster heater for rapid heating in specific pans or zones.

Gas ovens hobs

A gas hob, sometimes called gas stove or gas cooker is an appliance in the kitchen that uses the flammable natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame heats both cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides additional safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. However, this elevated construction requires particular attention when cleaning and operating the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids on the burners.

A traditional gas hob is lit with an igniter or an igniter, and the burners are controlled manually. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it simple to alter the heat level. Certain gas hobs have multiple flame burners, based on the model. This gives you more cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks for a gas hob is that it requires a consistent supply of gas which can be a challenge if you reside in an area that has an intermittent or unstable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to guard against harmful corrosion and leaks. This is why it is crucial to install a gas hob after consulting a Gas Safe Registered fitter who will provide expert installation and follow strict safety protocols.

While electric and induction hobs are gaining popularity however, there is an enormous market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is due to consumer preference and concerns about the environment, as well as local energy prices and availability. As a result, it is important to assess the utility costs of your kitchen's infrastructure before choosing a model of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, modern kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans, instead of an evaporating surface or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. A current of alternating electricity is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils sense the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the cooker or the pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surfaces remain cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction hobs are also designed to be easier to clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob as clean as new, all you need is a dampened cloth.

The main limitation with induction cooking is that you must have the right cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and certain non-stick pans are compatible but they need a 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.

A variety of induction hobs is available, ranging from budget models to premium brands with a full TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. When a pan is placed on a power zone, the hob will show you its location on the full colour display, with a control button or slider enabling you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are also smart accessories available, such as pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob through bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner.

Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce smoke, steam and cooking odors. This model is ideal for homes with small space as it removes the need for an additional extractor fan. Like other induction hobs, it makes use of magnetic fields with frequencies in the kilohertz range in order to produce the heat that indirectly affects the contents of your pan. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the magnetic density for the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be expected.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs are sleek and designed to match the majority of kitchen styles. These are great for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and come with a wide range of options to meet your cooking needs. The majority are made of glass that is easy to clean and can look stylish if you opt for a black or white design. Some have the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans while others come with a power boost button for extra heat when you're doing something difficult.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a modern and sleek design that fits in well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook fast and offer a high degree of security. For instance they cool down quicker than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that remains on to alert you when the cooking area is hot to the contact. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat inside the pan so you're not heating the surrounding air.

There are a few aspects to consider when choosing an electric hob. Most require an electrical supply that is paired with the right cables and breakers. We recommend installing it by a qualified electrical contractor. They can also be expensive and you'll require a set of compatible induction pans to get the best ovens and hobs uk from them.
