Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans by using electricity or flames. There are several different types of hobs, and you can pick one that fits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs feature flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and come with five or four zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are elegant and fashionable, and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs offer modern and sleek design which can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They also heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your energy bills. Ceramic hobs can be slow in changing the temperature settings. This can be a problem when you are cooking something that requires quick reduction or increase of heat.

Electric hobs consist of a solid, textured surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted individually via rotating knobs. You can even use the 'boost' feature to increase the temperature of a single area. Ceramic hobs oven also have a very high heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being turned off. This can be a problem if you have children, so it's advisable to only install them in a location that is away from any flammable items and away from children.

This type of hob is sensitive to the pan's size and shape. It is essential to purchase cookware that matches the element exactly or is able to fit comfortably into each of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same size as the element, it won't recognise it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and will make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass Hobs Oven with gas are a great choice for a sleek, modern aesthetic. Although they may cost more than electric models and may require professional installation, they often require less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a full pan of water to be boiling within four minutes or less. This type of hob also is a great choice for cooks who wish to limit the amount of heat is generated. Glass hobs are more susceptible to damage and require frequent cleaning as they tend to build up grease and other residue.

One of the most well-known electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. They're constructed with a sleek glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface resistant to smudges or scratches. These hobs also come with a power booster function that lets you increase the heat for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob. Induction hobs cook your food directly with electromagnetic fields unlike traditional gas and electric plates. This means they are more energy-efficient and have precise temperature control. They require a special kind of pan and can be costly to set up.

A gas-on-glass hob is another option that is a good option for modern homes. It is equipped with a burner under a flat glass layer, similar to a conventional gas stove. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempered glass. Many of these hobs also come with a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the oven with hob is hot.

Gas hobs remain a preferred option for many home cooks However, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and can take an extended time to warm up and cool down. In contrast, hobs Oven electric hobs are more energy-efficient and simpler to clean.

There are even electric stoves that are compatible LPG gas. You can switch between different fuels, providing you with the flexibility needed to meet your needs. However, it's important to keep in mind that these stoves must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and will require a dedicated 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen.

Induction hobs

Copper coils conduct an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible plate is placed on the hob the coils generate magnetic fields that heat the pan directly instead of heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are extremely efficient from an energy standpoint, as there's no residual heat being wasted.

There are many models of induction stoves, from the basic ones with a single zone identified by rings up to more advanced multi zoned induction stoves with up to 6 zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked on one flex area. Some of these premium models have a touch slider control that looks very similar to the way you operate an iPhone. Simply slide your finger across the power bar at the middle to select the desired heat level, left to right increases heat and right to left reduces it. Some models have pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food items which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are also more energy efficient over the long run. They heat up faster and have a smaller heating area which can lower your energy bills. They also cool down quicker and feature a safer design with no hot plates, making them perfect for families with young children or elderly persons living in the home. They do, however, create an electric force that could interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore crucial to center pans and avoid using smaller pans on bigger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you will need to clean your induction hob on a regular basis, as food particles and other debris can build up over time. You can use a regular oven cleaner, or opt for a specialist product to help keep your hob shiny and in good condition for a longer time. Be sure to not use abrasive cleaners or pads for scouring on your induction hob as they can scratch the surface.
