Types
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The hob is the central feature of any kitchen, and has a huge impact on the outcome of your cooking. There are many different types of hobs, and which one you pick will depend on the cooking requirements you have.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Gas hobs are the most popular choice and offer a fast heating function and instant response to temperature fluctuations. Professional chefs prefer them since they provide precise control. They are not as easy to clean as other hobs and could require more frequent maintenance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Electric hobs feature a flat ceramic surface with heated elements underneath. They come in various sizes and have up to six cooking zones. Each zone is equipped with its own heating element, which can be controlled individually by you. It is possible to boil potatoes in one ring while cooking sausages on another. This type of hob is much easier to start heating than gas, and it offers a safer alternative for children since the cooking zone becomes hot only when you put the pot on it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Traditional ceramic hobs are a user-friendly alternative to gas and electric and are also a very stylish option. They have a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is easy clean, but they aren't as quick to respond to temperature changes like other hobs and are slower to cool down.

|
|
||||||
|
The Domino hob is a space-saving alternative to gas and electric hobs. It has ovens underneath the cooking surface. They are perfect for kitchens that have limited space. They also work well in kitchenettes and flats. They are usually less expensive than standard hobs and can be energy-efficient, but they are also prone to breaking and require greater maintenance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Gas
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A gas hob is a cooktop with burners that can be fitted into kitchen countertops for a seamless look. They are usually powered by natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) but can also be powered by propane gas. The sleek, modern design could bring sophistication to your cooking space that is modular.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A traditional gas stove comes with several burners, typically 4 but sometimes up to 6. The flames are ignited using an igniter or by turning the knob. The flames are controlled by an array of valves that can be adjusted in the temperature.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The majority of modern gas stoves built-in, on the other hand are equipped with burners that have multiple flames. This allows you to control both the outer and the inner ring for each burner to allow you to precisely control the cooking. These kinds of burners allow for much quicker heat up times and are more reliable than old-fashioned ones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the past, it was required for a gas stove to be continuously lit to ensure that the burners remained hot and fueled. This was a safety feature to avoid accidents like accidentally turning on the oven even though the stove was lit by a match or the pilot flame. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind. They have a built-in flame failure device that shuts off burners immediately should the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs should be cleaned, checked and maintained regularly. To do this, you should arrange a visit with a Gas Safe registered engineer. Not only will they be able to make sure your appliance is working correctly and safely, but they will offer professional advice and guidance on how to avoid problems in the future.

Electric hobs have heating elements under a smooth, glass surface. This is usually cleaned with a nonabrasive cleaner. These elements are activated when you turn on the hob and can be adjusted to various power levels by turning a knob. It can take them a little bit longer to heat up, but once they have they are in place, they provide more reliable and consistent temperature control. They also come with indicators to let you know that a particular zone is active or hot from cooking.

|
|
||||||
|
Typically, they are available in four to six different sizes that can be cranked up to various levels of power. These are great for flat-based cookware but not for cast iron pans since they can get hot. Some models have dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that permit boiling water on one ring while you saute sausages on a different. Some models have a Boost feature that concentrates high heat into one ring. This is useful for stirring-frying, searing meat or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs are distinct from regular electric models due to the fact that they utilize electromagnetic fields instead of traditional gas flames to heat your cookware. They can reach precise temperatures quicker and are more efficient in energy use. They feature a cool to the touch surface as well as flashing indicators that indicate that a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ceramics can be used to make functional or decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders and water, and firing it in a hot oven, also known as a Kiln. Once it's made it is then covered with decorative or paint-like substances to add colour and texture.

||||||
|
Ceramic hobs are an exquisite blend of form and function, sitting comfortably in any modern kitchen. Radiant heating technology is employed to heat ceramic hobs through the passage of an electric current through coiled components that are concealed beneath the black glass surface. These generate heat when activated, and this is transferred to your pan through an infrared system. You can adjust the strength of this heating by controlling the controls via touch or knobs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some ceramic hobs are dual-ring designs, having one smaller and a larger cooking zone, allowing you to choose the most suitable size for your pan. There are hobs with boosters that produce powerful heat quickly. This is great for cooking food and bringing pans to boil fast.
|

|
|
||||||
|
As compared to other types of hobs, ceramic cooktops generally take longer to heat up and alter temperature however, once they're done they're generally more energy-efficient. You can also find vented hobs that integrate an air-conditioning system inside the cooktop's ceramic, making sure that smoke, steam and cooking smells don't stay in your home.

|
Induction
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The heating elements in induction hobs consist of a set of copper wire coils beneath the surface that produce electromagnets to heat the pans sitting on them. The coils stir the free electrons in the base metal of your pan which then transfers heat evenly to your food. The surface of the hob is never hot, and when you take off your pan, the cooking zones turn off automatically.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Induction hobs are typically more expensive, however they also heat up faster and use 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other types. Induction hobs are also simpler to clean since only the contents of the pan are heated and not the surface.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Certain manufacturers offer an induction model that has additional features, such as a pause feature, which cuts the power to your stove when you step away from it, or link up two cooking rings at the same time at the same power level for [Ovensandhobs.Uk](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/) added flexibility. These are sometimes referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They may be more costly than traditional induction models but they're well worth considering when multitasking is important to you.

Our top pick is this induction hob made by Smeg, which has four cooking zones of good size, a bridge function and nine power levels that give you a variety of options for those who want to cook with a lot of passion. It was a great performer in our test with a fast heating speed and precise control when making pancakes. The oven comes with dishwasher built-in, as well as automatic pan detection, which makes cleaning easier. The only problem is that there are only a handful of compatible pans and you can't make use of it for cooking with the utensils that have magnetic bases. It could be a problem when you have a large quantity of cookware that is not compatible, or only a small portion of it is compatible with induction cooktops.
