Types of Hobs

A hob uk (known as stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans using electricity or flames. There are a variety of hobs. You can pick the one that is best ovens and hobs uk suited to your kitchen and style.

Induction hobs feature a flat ceramic cooking surface and come with five or four zones to heat your pans. The modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek look. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are simple to clean and can easily be cleaned when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient which helps lower your electric bill. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow in changing temperature settings which can be a problem when cooking something that requires an instant reduction or increase in heat.

Electric hobs are comprised of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be individually adjusted through rotating knobs. You can even use the 'boost' feature in order to increase the heat of a single zone. Ceramic hobs are able to hold heat well, so even when they've been shut off, they will still be hot to the touch. It's important to install ceramic hobs in an area that is away from items that could ignite and out of reach of children.

The benefit of this type of hob is that it can be put in on a variety worktops, including laminate or solid wood, as well as granite. It's also quite affordable and can be an excellent option for those looking to replace your stove without spending a lot. However, like all appliances they must be installed correctly and connected to the mains, so we recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure that your new hobs uk are safe to use.

The downside to this kind of hob and oven is that it's very sensitive to the size of the pan and shape. You'll need to buy cookware that's the exact dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware doesn't match the element, it will not recognize it and won't begin to heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in inconsistent results in cooking and makes the hob and oven less energy efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs offer modern, sleek design. Although they may cost more than electric models and require professional installation, they typically require less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a full pan of water to boil in four minutes or less. This kind of hob works well for cooks who want to limit the amount of heat is produced. However, it should be noted that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel ones and will need to be cleaned more often, as the build-up of grease and residue tends to stay on the surface instead of sliding off.

A great example of a glass-on-gas model is this Bertazzoni hob, which has four black monobloc burners that have precise metal control knobs for a an elegant and sophisticated look. It also includes the wok ring that has 4kW for added versatility, plus pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is an attractive 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 heat distribution and speed up cooking. It also has an indicator for power that lets you control the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine preset settings, including a high setting for searing a steak and a low setting for scrambled eggs.

Our testers also liked the controls because they were simple and intuitive. Some minor drawbacks are that you have to press the controls nine times to reach the highest temperature and the glass can make it difficult to discern the burners' actions.

This Neff model is among the top gas-on-glass hobs that are that you can buy at a reasonable price. While it's not going to win any design awards, it does the job well and is an ideal addition to your kitchen for less than 120 pounds.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. They're not just sleek and stylish, but also faster, safer and more efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most well-known electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. They're made with a sleek, glossy finish and an easy-to-clean surface resistant to scratches or smudges. They're also often equipped with a power boost feature which lets you increase the heat of your cooker for a short amount of time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. In contrast to traditional electric and gas plate hobs that use electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. They are therefore more energy-efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a particular type of pan and can be costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a different option for modern homes. It has a burner underneath a flat glass layer, similar to a conventional gas stove. However the glass is shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much simpler to clean than tempered glass. Many of these hobs come with the "hot surface indicator" which alerts you to the temperature.

While gas hobs remain an option for many home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and take an extended time to warm up and cool down. However electric hobs are efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

There are even electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, meaning you'll be able to suit your lifestyle. But, it's important to keep in mind that these hobs must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and require a dedicated 6mm cable in your kitchen. They're not suitable for people who have pacemakers as the electromagnetic field can interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils create an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible dish is placed on a hob the coils create magnetic fields that generate heat directly in the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or a heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are efficient in energy use, since they don't squander heat.

There are a variety of models of induction stoves, starting with the basic models with a single zone marked by rings, to more advanced multi zoned induction stoves that have up to 6 zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked within a flex area. Some of these models come with a touch-slider control that resembles to how you operate an iPhone. Simply swipe your finger over the power bar at the middle to choose the desired temperature left to right increases heat and right to left reduces it. Some models have preset settings for certain food items or recipes which can help you save time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are also more energy efficient over the long term. They can heat faster and have a smaller heating area which can lower the cost of energy. They also cool down quicker and feature a safer design that doesn't have hot plates, which makes them ideal for families with children or older people who live in the house. They do, however, generate an electric force that could cause interference with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore important to center pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll need to clean your induction hob on a regular basis, as food particles and other debris may build up over time. You can use a standard oven cleaner, or you can invest in a specialist product to keep your stove clean and in good shape for a longer time. Be sure to not use the abrasive cleaning pads or scouring pads on your induction hob as they can scratch the surface.
