Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen. There are many choices. We have a variety of cooking ring sizes from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features, such as pan supports. They are able to heat up and cool down quickly with a uniform cooking surface temperature. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to manage. Gas Hobs A well-liked choice, gas hobs feature burner rings and a grate that pots and pans sit on. They heat up quickly and provide precise temperature control. They can also accommodate many cooking techniques including boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive than electric ones since they are powered by a natural gas source. They are available in a variety of finishes including stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give them an elegant and contemporary look, which can complement any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scorching and scratches which is why you must take extra care to clean them. Regular cleaning is key to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the grates and burner caps for a deeper clean, by placing them in warm soapy water and gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to eliminate stubborn stain without damaging the surface. In contrast to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances, gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the countertop of the kitchen, providing a seamless look. They can also be installed on a separate base, making them easy to move when you move or alter your kitchen layout. However, building the gas hob in your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation. Gas hobs are available in a variety of finishes. From the classic black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some come in stunning colours like blue or green to add personality to your kitchen. Gas hobs have been in use for a long time and are a reliable, safe alternative. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid any accidents. Gas hobs also have a flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame has gone out. This prevents accidental explosions or burns. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern look. They are also easy to clean and warm up. There are many designs to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat, and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators which shut off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can help minimise the risk of accidental burns and is particularly beneficial if you have young children. The flat surface of the ceramic hob is prone to scratches and chips. This is a bigger problem if you drag pans across it rather than lifting them by their handles, so we recommend being extra careful when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also advise against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic cooktop as this could cause damage to the surface. A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be a nuisance especially in a kitchen that is busy or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. However, many manufacturers have worked on this and now offer a range of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by up to 30%. Hobs induction The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to heat up and are the most energy efficient option available. They are extremely hygienic and safe as they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, but there is a price to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other alternatives. hobs uk are now an increasingly popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan, rather than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They also cool down faster than traditional hobs, meaning they're easier to clean. Copper coils are located beneath the glossy, smooth ceramic/glass surface of an induction hob. A current of electrical alternating is pushed through them. When a compatible pan is placed in the cooking zone the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. Cooking is more efficient because the pan won't lose heat. You'll find an induction hob that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something that is easy to control, you can opt for a model with a full touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan on each of its zones. Tap on the display and you'll be able access a thorough operating menu, change the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or types of food – a great feature to cut down on time and effort while cooking. Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option, as they use less electricity and generate no heat after use. They may interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers because they produce magnetic fields. Our recommendation is to choose a premium induction hob with an integrated extractor. It removes smoke, steam and odours out of the air as you cook, meaning it can be used with a larger choice of cookerware. You'll also get better value for money if you choose one with dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left hand side to accommodate larger pans. Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are an excellent option for those looking for a durable hob that will resist tough staining.

You should still use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of burnt-on food residue however, avoid any abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface. Electric Hobs Modern and practical electric hobs are a staple feature of many modern kitchens. Their sleek design allows them to blend seamlessly in any decor and their efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy households. Instead of gas, which ignites an igniter to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. They're also more cost-effective to run as they can be switched off when not in use, saving your money on energy bills. It's important to remember that not all hobs come with the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features like automatic safety shutoff and a digital display that clearly displays the power level, temperature, and cooking time. Certain models come with an enhancement feature that boosts the performance and speed of the element. Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters, they are easily cleaned away so that your hob will remain in good shape for a longer period of time.
