you can find out more of Oven Hob

A hob is an elevated flat surface that is used to heat pots and pans. There are various types of hobs, including electric, gas and induction.

Look for features such as rotary or touch controls. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing a button. They also stop them from being smashed easily, especially when they are used by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your cooktop looking good and working efficiently it is essential to maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pad.

These types of hobs are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface which generate heat when activated through control knobs. Some models have an element that radiates heat through the surface of the glass. Other models use halogen elements which are far more powerful and heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, making them especially ideal for cooking in short time.

Some of our ceramic hobs have advanced safety features, like a residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface remains hot to the contact. This can prevent burns. Some also have child locks to prevent children accidentally altering the settings.

For maximum performance, it is important to use appropriate cookware with your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that your pans are flat-bottomed, which helps to ensure even heat distribution and helps prevent hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. Avoid dragging pans over the surface, as this could scratch the glass tempered.

We recommend ceramic hobs with a dual-ring design, or the 'I Flex' zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan that has a minimum size of 30cm to register. We also have models with an auxiliary heater that allows for rapid heating in specific pans or zones. This is great for stir-fry or searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off function that shuts off the hob at a specific time to prevent overheating. This is a useful security feature to have to ensure your safety. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel when you have an appliance set up to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a preset period of time.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes called a gas stove or gas cooker, is an appliance for kitchen use that makes use of the flammable natural or the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats cookware as well as the air surrounding it which enables quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides extra safety by preventing the body from being in contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. This elevated construction does require special care when using or cleaning the hob in order to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with a match. Modern models feature an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas flame is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it simple to alter the heat level. Some gas hobs come with multiple flame burners, based on the model. This provides greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which could be problematic if you live in an area with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid dangerous leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe registered Fitters who can guarantee an efficient installation and adhere to strict safety protocols.

Although induction and electric hobs are getting more popular, there is still a significant market for gas appliances in certain regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, as well as local energy prices and availability. It is crucial to think about the cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a style.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite among our clients who want an elegant, modern kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans, instead of the surface being heated or burning gas underneath. Under the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top of the cooker the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and induce heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is much faster than traditional gas stoves and more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surface remains cool to the touch and is also easy to clean.

Like other modern hobs, the induction ones are designed to be simpler to keep clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob clean as new, all you need is a damp cloth.

The biggest drawback to induction cooking is that you'll need possess the appropriate cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick pans are all compatible but they need a magnetic base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

There are a variety of induction hobs that are available, from budget models up to top brands that feature TFT displays and an extensive menu of operating options. The hob displays the pan's position on a full-color display when it is in a power zone. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a clock. There are other clever accessories available, such as pan sensors that attach to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob via bluetooth to regulate the power exactly.

Induction hobs with an integrated fan cut down on smoke, steam, and cooking odors. This model is perfect for homes with small space because it eliminates the need for a separate extractor fan. Similar to other induction hobs it makes use of magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that indirectly affects the contents of your pan. In normal operation at the distance of five to ten centimetres, these fields are in line with the reference value of the magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are expected.

Electric Hobs

The best electric hobs provide a sleek finish and are designed to fit the majority of kitchen styles. These are great for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and they come with a variety of options that will suit your cooking requirements. Most of them are made of glass, which is clean and stylish in white or black style. Some have the ability to bridge two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others have a power boost button for an extra amount of heat when you're doing something difficult.

Induction hobs have become increasingly popular due to their modern and clean aesthetic that fits in well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of security. They tend to cool quicker than gas cookers, and they come with an indicator light that stays in place when the cooking area becomes hot to touch. They also work more efficiently since the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air around it.

There are some things to take into consideration when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require a power supply that is configured with the appropriate cables and breakers. We recommend installing it by a licensed electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need a set of compatible induction pans to benefit the most out of them. They are also more expensive to run because they often use more energy than other types of hobs.
