Types of oven hob (click the following page)

A hob is a flat, elevated surface that is used to heat pans and pots. There are many different kinds of hobs, oven hob including electric, gas and induction.

Look for features such as the rotary, touch or position controls. These allow you to control the heating zones by the touch of a button, and also prevent them being knocked over easily especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your hob looking well-maintained and operating efficiently, you should maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

These hobs are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface, that generate heat when they are activated through control knobs. Certain models employ an element that emits heat from the surface of the glass. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and can heat the entire surface area in multiple pulses, which makes them suitable for cook times that are quick.

A lot of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some also have child locks to protect children from accidentally altering the settings.

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

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an the 'I Flex zone. This can accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan that has minimum dimensions of 30cm to make it register. We also have models with a booster heater for rapid heating in specific pans or zones. This is perfect for stir-fry or searing steak. We also have some models that have an auto shut-off feature that switches off the hob after a set time to prevent overheating. This is a useful safety feature to have in place to ensure your safety. This feature is activated by pressing "Power' on the control panel after the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that utilize natural gas that is flammable or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats both cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives extra security by preventing your body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. However, this elevated construction requires particular attention when using and cleaning the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is ignited by an igniter or the pilot light, and the burners are controlled manually. The latest models have an automatic igniter that ensures the gas is lit on its own. The flame is then controlled through the control knobs, making it simple to adjust the heating level according to the need. Based on the model, certain gas hobs also have multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which could be problematic if you live in a place with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to guard against dangerous corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who will ensure a safe installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

While induction and electric hobs are getting more popular however, there is a significant market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is partly due to consumer preferences and concerns about the environment in addition to local energy prices and availability. This is why it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, rather than the surface being heated or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are located beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An alternating electric current is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils sense the magnetic base and release heat directly into the cooker or pan itself. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to touch and easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be more easy to keep clean than their gas counterparts. A simple wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as good as new.

The primary drawback with induction cooking is that you'll need to have suitable cookware for it. All cookware that include cast iron stainless steel, non-stick are required to have an iron base that is magnetized. 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 range of induction hobs is available, ranging from budget models to top brands that come with a full TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. When a pan is placed on a power zone, the hob will show its position on a full-color display, and also have the option of a slider or control button enabling you to alter the power setting or set an alarm. There are many innovative accessories, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs equipped with an integrated fan cut down on steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with a limited space as it removes the requirement for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields within 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 standard value for the magnetic density at the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best ovens electric hobs provide sleek design and are designed to fit the majority of kitchen styles. They are ideal for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and are available with a range of options that can meet your cooking requirements. Most of them are constructed from glass, which is clean and stylish in a white or black design. Some models have the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans while others come with the power boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're doing something particularly tricky.

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular because they provide a modern and clean aesthetic that blends well with the modern designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and provide the highest level of security. For instance they tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that remains on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the contact. They are also more efficient because the magnetic field only produces heat inside the pan and doesn't heat the air around it.

However, there are some things to keep in mind when selecting an induction hob - most require a specific power supply that is fitted with the right cables and breakers so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a licensed electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll need to purchase a set of compatible induction pans to get the most benefit from them. They can also be more expensive to run since they often use more energy than other types of hobs.
