Types of Oven Hob

A hob is an uncooked surface that is placed above your best oven to heat your pots and pans. There are different types of hobs, such as gas, electric and induction.

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

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs offer style and function in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratches and residues. To ensure that your stove looks good and working efficiently you must follow regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad.

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 via control knobs. Certain models feature radiant elements that emits heat through the glass surface. Certain models have halogen elements which are more efficient. They heat the entire surface in repeated pulses.

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

It is crucial to choose the right cookware for your ceramic stove. This ensures that the pans are flat-bottomed, which ensures uniform heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. It is also important to avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this can scratch the glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs with dual-ring designs, or an 'I Flex' zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or hob one large pan. You'll need a pan with at least 30cm in size to register. We also have models with a booster heater for rapid heating in specific pans or zones. This is perfect for searing steak and stir-fry. We also have models with an auto shut-off feature that turns off the hob after a specified time to prevent overheating. This is a helpful security feature to have to ensure your safety. This function is usually activated by pressing the "Power button' on the control panel when you have an appliance set up to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a predetermined period of time.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes referred to as a gas cooker or gas stove is an appliance for kitchen use that makes use of the flammable natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame is used to heat cookware and the air around it which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob provides added security by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame, reducing the possibility of burning. This elevated design requires particular care when using or cleaning the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are operated manually and lit by a a match. Modern models have an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas flame is lit automatically. The flame can be controlled through the control knobs making it easy to adjust the heating level according to the need. Based on the model, certain gas hobs also have multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas hob is that it requires a continuous supply of gas, which can be a problem for those who reside in an area with intermittent or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance in order to prevent corrosion and leaks. Because of this, it is essential to install a gas stove only after consulting with an approved Gas Safe fitter who will provide expert installation and follow strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances remain popular in a few areas, even though electric and induction hobs and ovens are growing in popularity. This is partly due to the preferences of consumers and environmental concerns in addition to local energy prices and availability. This is why it is essential to consider your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure before selecting a type of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, sleek kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans, not heating plates or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are positioned beneath the glass ceramic surface. A current of alternating electricity is passed through them. When an induction-compatible pot or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils locate its magnetic base and cook the pan or pot directly. This is much faster than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to feel and easy to clean.

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

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the appropriate cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick pans are all 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.

There are a range of induction hobs that are available starting from the cheapest models to top brands that feature TFT displays and a full menu of operation. The hob displays the position of the pan on a full-color display when it is in an area of power. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a clock. There are many clever gadgets, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most adored models is an induction hob which comes with an integrated extractor fan that helps to reduce smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with limited space as it removes the requirement for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields that are within the kilohertz frequency range to produce heat that affects 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 reference value for the magnetic density for the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The most efficient electric hobs are sleek and designed to match most kitchen styles. They are ideal for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and they come with a variety of options that can meet your cooking requirements. Most are made from glass, which is easy to clean, and can appear stylish if you go for a black or white design. Some models feature the option of combining two zones in order to accommodate larger pans, and others include a power boost button to provide extra heat for tasks that require a lot of effort.

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular due to their contemporary and clean look that fits in well with the designs of today's kitchens. They cook quickly and offer the highest level of security. They are more likely to cool faster than gas cookers, and they come with an indicator light that stays on when the cooking zone becomes hot to touch. They also are more efficient since the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

There are some things to think about when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require a power supply that is set up with the right cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll need to buy a set of compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They are more expensive because they require more energy.
