Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen. There are a variety of choices. We have a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six, with some with additional features, such as pan supports. They heat and cool quickly and have a consistent temperature of the cooking surface. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to manage. Gas Hobs A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate that pots and pans are placed on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide range of cooking methods, from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric hobs because they use natural gas sources. They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes provide modern and sleek appearance, which can complement any kitchen design. They are susceptible to burning and scratches which is why you must be extra careful when cleaning them. Regular cleaning is crucial to maintaining your hob's pristine condition, particularly if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. It is possible to remove the grates and burner caps for deeper cleaning, placing them in warm soapy water and scrubbing gently. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface. Built-in gas stoves give seamless design, which is different from traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be placed on a separate base, which means they are easy to move around when you move or change the layout of your kitchen. However, installing the gas hob in your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation. Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From the classic black and white, to the modern glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some even come in stunning green or blue color to add some character to your kitchen. Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been used for many years. ovens and hobs provide precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is important to practice proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid accidents. Gas hobs also have an automatic flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental burns or explosions. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern appearance. They are also easy to clean and warm up. They come in a range of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's one that's suitable for every kitchen. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators which shut off the area when it's too hot to touch. This reduces the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially useful for families with young children. However the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to chips and scratches. This is more of a issue if you drag pans across it, rather than lifting them by their handles, and we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob as this could cause damage to the surface. Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This can be a hassle if you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you want to quickly switch between cooking zones. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this and have a variety that can cut cooling time up to 30%. Hobs induction The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to warm up and are the most energy-efficient option available. Induction hobs are very clean and safe, and they don't store any heat in the cooking zone. However, they can be expensive. Hobs induction A popular option for kitchen renovations Induction hobs are stylish alternatives to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic/glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean. Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy ceramic or glass surface of an induction hob. A current of electrical alternating is passed through them. When a compatible pan is placed on the cooking zone the coils instantly produce heat by magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently since the pan doesn't lose heat. You can find an induction cooktop that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can select a model with a touchscreen display showing the position of the pan in all its zones. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough operating menu, change the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs will even offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types which is a great way to cut down on time and effort when cooking. Induction hobs are also regarded as to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops, as they produce no residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's best to stay away from them. Our recommendation is to choose a top induction cooker with a built-in extractor. This will eliminate smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a large selection of cooking tools. Choose one that has a dual flex zone. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots. Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option if you're looking for an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to tough staining. This layer is five times stronger than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains and chips. It is still recommended to use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad for removing food residues that have been burned and avoid cleaners that are abrasive, which can scratch the ceramic surface. Electric Hobs Modern and practical electric hobs are a popular feature of many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can easily be integrated into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them an ideal choice for busy families. Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is sat on the top. They're also more economical to run as they can be switched off when not in use, saving you money on energy costs. It's important to note that not all hobs are created equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, and come with features such as automatic safety shutdown and a digital display that clearly displays power levels, temperatures, and cooking time. Some models have an enhancement feature that boosts the power and speed of the element. Electric hobs are also easier to clean due to their flat surface. There are no grates to scrub spills and splatters can simply be wiped away, meaning your hob will be in good condition for longer. Electric hobs are a great option for families. However, if you wear a pacemaker you cannot use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field could interfere with the device.
