Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove tops in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans with flame or electricity. There are a variety of hobs. You can choose the one that is best oven suited to your kitchen and your style.

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

Ceramic Hobs oven

Ceramic hobs provide a sleek and modern look that can really improve the overall look of your kitchen. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and can easily be cleaned up if spills or splatters occur. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient and can help reduce your energy bills. Ceramic hobs can be slow in changing the temperature settings. This can be a hassle when you are cooking something that requires a quick reduction or an increase in temperature.

Electric hobs use plates that are heated by electric elements beneath. These elements can be individually controlled with rotary knobs, and then tacked to the power level you require. You can utilize the Boost feature to raise the temperature of a specific zone. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being turned off. It's important to install ceramic hobs in an area that is away from flammable items and away from children's reach.

The benefit of this kind of hob is that it can be installed on a variety of worktops, including laminate, solid wood and granite. It's also fairly inexpensive and can be an excellent option for those looking to replace your old stoves without spending a large amount of money. However, like all appliances they do need to be installed correctly and connected to the mains power supply, so we suggest hiring a professional electrician to ensure that the new hobs are safe for use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to pan sizes and shapes. You'll need cookware that's exactly the same dimensions as the element or that is able to fit in each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware isn't the same dimensions as the element, the element won't recognize it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in inconsistent cooking results and will make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern look. They are more expensive than electric models and may require professional installations. However, they heat up faster - a full pot of water can typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This kind of best hob is also a good choice for cooks who want to control the amount of heat produced. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to build up grease and other residue.

This Bertazzoni hob is a fantastic example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners that are matte black with metal control knobs for a stylish, sophisticated look. It also has an oblong wok ring with 4kW for added versatility, plus pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easier to keep clean.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is an attractive slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design on the left of the gas hob has two burners inside to improve heat distribution and speed up cooking. It also comes with an easy-to-read power level indicator that helps to regulate the precise temperature of your flame. You can choose from nine preset settings, including the high setting for searing a steak and a low setting for scrambled eggs.

Our test participants also liked the controls because they were simple and intuitive. Some minor disadvantages include the fact that you must physically press the controls nine times to reach the highest heating level and it can be difficult to determine the status of the burners through the glass.

This Neff model is one of the top gas-on-glass hobs that are available at an affordable price. It's not likely to win any design prizes but it'll do the job and can be an excellent addition to your kitchen at just over 120 pounds.

Electric hobs

There are a variety of electric hobs that work for modern households. They're not just elegant and stylish, but also faster, safer, and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. These hobs have sleek glazed finishes, and have a surface that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. These hobs are also fitted with a power booster function which allows you to boost the heat for a short duration.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob perfect for modern homes. Induction hobs cook your food directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric and gas plates. They are therefore more energy-efficient and provide precise temperature control. However, they require a specific type of pan to work with them and can be expensive to install.

Hobs made of glass that are gas-powered are a different option for modern homes. It features a burner beneath a flat glass layer, like a traditional gas stove. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempering glass. A majority of these hobs have a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the oven is hot.

Gas hobs remain a preferred option for many home cooks however they can be noisy and hard to clean. They also take a while to heat up and cool down and their flames can be difficult to manage. Electric hobs, on other side, are more efficient in energy use and are easier to clean.

For the highest level of modern technology You can even find electric stoves that are compatible with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between various fuel sources, so you'll be able to adapt to your lifestyle. However, it's important to remember that these hobs must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and will require a dedicated 6mm cable for your kitchen. They're not suitable for those with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

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

There are a variety of models of induction hob that range from basic models that have a single cooking zone that is marked with rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction hobs that have up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots simultaneously on one flex zone. Certain models come with a touch-slider control that looks very similar to how you operate an iPhone. Simply swipe your finger across the power bar located in the middle to select the desired level of heat left to right increases the heat and right-to-left decreases it. Some models have pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs can be more expensive than ceramic hobs, however they are thought to be more efficient in the long run as they heat up much quicker and use a smaller space to heat up, which can help you save on energy bills. They cool down faster, and they are more secure without hot plates. This makes them ideal for families with elderly or children. They do, however, produce magnetic forces that can affect certain medical devices like pacemakers. It is therefore important to center pans and avoid using smaller pans on larger burners.

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