Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen, and there are numerous options available. We have a variety of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features such as pan supports.

They cool and heat quickly and have a consistent cooking surface temperature. Professional chefs often prefer them due to their being easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

A popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as an grate that pots and pans sit on. They heat up fast and allow precise temperature control. They also can accommodate many cooking techniques, from boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric ones as they utilise natural gas as a source of energy.

They're available in a wide range of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes create an elegant and contemporary look, which can complement any kitchen design. However, they are prone to scorching and scratching and scratching, so it's crucial to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your stove in top condition, particularly if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. To get a more thorough clean, you can remove the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to get rid of tough stains without harming the surface.

Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can also be placed on a standalone base, making them simple to move when you move house or change your kitchen layout. Gas hobs require a lot of work and professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

Gas hobs come in a variety of finishes. From the traditional black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in many different styles. Some come in stunning colours such as green or blue to add personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been used for a long time and are a safe, reliable alternative. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. To prevent any accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety regulations and ensure proper ventilation.

Another benefit to gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which switches off the gas supply when the burner flame goes out. This is to prevent accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek, modern appearance and they're relatively quick to heat up and clean. They come in a range of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional rectangular and square designs, so there's a style that will suit the majority of kitchens. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use and they often have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone when they've been used and becomes too hot to touch or clean with just a few minutes. This can reduce the chance of burns and is especially useful for children who are still young.

However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to scratches and chips. This is a bigger problem if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up with their handles. Therefore, we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs as they could damage the surface.

A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This could be an issue if you're working in a crowded kitchen or want to swiftly switch between cooking zones to another. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this issue and are now offering a range of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by as much as 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to get hot and are the most energy-efficient option available. Induction hobs are very clean and safe. They don't hold any heat on the cooking area. However, they can be expensive.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs are now the most popular choice for kitchen upgrades. They are a fashionable option to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic or glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool quicker than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

Beneath the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob sit copper coils that an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated through magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed over the cooking area. You can cook more efficiently because the pan won't lose heat.

Many induction cooktops come with a wide range of features, so you'll find one to suit your style. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can select a model with an LCD display that shows the pan's location within each of its zones. Tap on the display and you'll be able access a thorough menu for operation, changing the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs will even offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food which is a great way to cut down on time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops, as they don't generate any residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. They can interfere with medical devices like pacemakers due to their magnetic fields.

We recommend you choose a top induction cooker with an extractor built-in. This removes steam, smoke and odours from the air as you cook, so it can be used with a greater range of cookware. Choose a model with dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left to accommodate larger pots.

If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that can resist staining, you should consider models that have Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This layer is five times more durable than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains, and chips. To remove any burnt-on food residues, employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrub pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that could scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Elegant and practical electric hobs are a staple feature in many modern kitchens. Their sleek appearance allows them to blend seamlessly into any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.

Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, do not use a flame. Instead, they use an element that rises up through ceramic glass to heat the food directly. They're also more cost-effective to run as they can be turned off when not in use - saving you money on energy bills.

It's important to remember that not all stoves have the same features. Some hobs are more advanced equipped with features like an automatic safety shut-off, a digital display, which clearly displays the temperature and power levels, as well as cooking time. Some models have a boost feature that increases the power and speed of the element.


Another advantage of an electric hob is its flat surface which makes it much cleaner than a gas model. Since there are no grates to scrub spills and splatters, they are easily cleaned away, meaning your hob will remain in good shape for a longer period of time.

These features make an electric hob an ideal choice for families, you should bear in mind that if you have a pacemaker installed, you can't use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device. Induction hobs are a better alternative for those who need to use their devices with a cookware set that is compatible available from our tried and tested selection of kitchen accessories.
