Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs form the core of any kitchen. There are a variety of choices. We have a variety of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six. Some have additional features like pan supports.

They heat and cool quickly and maintain a constant temperature for the cooking surface. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate that cookware and pans rest on. They heat up fast and permit precise temperature control. They also can accommodate many cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric options as they utilise natural gas sources.

They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes give the cabinets a modern, sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They can be prone for scorching and scratches, so you should take extra care to clean them.

Regular cleaning is essential to keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially important if you own a more traditional freestanding model. You can remove the burner caps and grates to clean them more thoroughly, by taking them out of the soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn staining without damaging the surface.

Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances built-in gas hobs are integrated into the countertop of the kitchen, providing a seamless look. They can be placed on a separate base so they are simple to move when you move or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot work and professional installation in order to be put in your kitchen.

Gas hobs come in a range of finishes. From traditional black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in a variety of styles. Some even come in stunning blue or green colour to add a splash of personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been around for a long time and are a reliable, safe alternative. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is important to practice proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

Another safety benefit of gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which switches off the gas supply once the burner flame goes out. This prevents accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern look. They are also relatively easy to clean and heat up. There are a variety of designs to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat, and traditional shapes like rectangles and squares. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that shut off the zone when it is too hot to touch. This can reduce the risk of accidental burns and is especially useful when you have children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be prone to scratches and chips. This is a bigger issue when you drag pans across it rather than lifting them by their handles, so we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you do not use metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This can be a nuisance when you're working in a busy kitchen or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. Numerous manufacturers have made improvements to this and have a variety that can cut down the time to cool by up to 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs heat up the fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe because they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, but there's a price to pay for these advantages since they are more expensive than other options.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a fashionable option to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated instead of the ceramic or glass surface. This means that they consume less energy and makes them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are therefore easier to clean.

Copper coils are found beneath the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. A current of electrical alternating is passed through them. When a pan that is compatible with the hob is placed in the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat through magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently since the pan doesn't lose heat.

A lot of induction hobs have an array of features, so you'll be able to find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can opt for a model with a touchscreen display showing the position of the pan in each of its zones. Tap on the display and you'll be able access a thorough operating menu, change the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs will even offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or types of food which is a great way to reduce time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most efficient cooking stove, as they use less electricity and generate no heat that remains. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to avoid using them near them.


We recommend you choose a top induction cooker with an extractor built-in. hob and oven eliminates smoke, steam and odours from the air as you cook, so it can be used with a greater choice of cookerware. Choose a model with the dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option for those looking for a sturdy hob that will repel hard-wearing stains. This coating guards against chips, scratches and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their standard ceramic coating. You should still make use of a non-abrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pad for removing food residue that has been burned on and avoid abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Stylish and practical electric hobs are a staple feature of many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can be easily fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them a great option for busy families.

Unlike gas, which burns an igniter to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and then directly heats whatever is on top of it. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use as they can be shut off when not being used.

However, it's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, and come with features such as an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display that clearly shows power levels, temperatures and cooking times. Certain models also include the ability to boost the speed of the element to provide more power.

Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface which makes it easier to clean than traditional gas models. There are no grates to scrub, spillages and splatters can simply be wiped away and your hob will stay in good shape for a longer period of time.

These features make electric hobs an ideal choice for families, it's worth bearing in mind that if are fitted with a pacemaker, you can't use this type of hob as its electromagnetic field can interfere with your device. Induction hobs are a better option for those who need a compatible cookware, which you can buy from our kitchen appliances.
