Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Hobs in the oven are the center of a kitchen and there are a variety of options to choose from. We have a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features, such as pan supports.

They are quick to heat and cool, with a consistent cooking surface temperature. They are often favored by professional chefs and easy to manage.

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 quickly and provide precise temperature control. They also can accommodate many cooking techniques such as boiling water to grilling meats. Gas hobs tend to be more affordable than electric hobs, as they use a natural gas source.

They're available in a wide selection of finishes, including ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes provide an elegant and contemporary look that will complement any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to burning and scratching, so it's important to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your hob's pristine condition, especially if are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. To get a more thorough clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and scrub gently. You can also make a mild paste out of baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn staining without damaging the surface.

Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the countertop of the kitchen and provide a seamless appearance. They can also be installed on a stand-alone base, making them simple to move in case you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot work and a professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

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

Gas hobs have been used for decades and are a safe, reliable alternative. Gas hobs are energy efficient, provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat evenly. However, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

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

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are a variety of styles 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. Many also have residual heat indicators built in that turn off the area when it's too hot to touch. This can lower the chance of burns and is particularly useful for children who are still young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is susceptible to chips and scratches. It is worse when you drag the pots across instead of lifting them using their handles. We suggest that you use extra care when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs because they can cause damage to the surface.


Another disadvantage of a ceramic cooktop is that it can take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This is a problem if you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking areas. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this issue and have now launched an array of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by up to 30 percent.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient option available. They are extremely hygienic and safe as they don't keep heat in the cooking zones, but there's a price to pay for these benefits because they can be more expensive than other options.

Induction Hobs

A popular option for kitchen renovations, induction hobs are stylish alternatives to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated and not the ceramic/glass surface. This reduces energy consumption and makes them safer to use. They cool quicker than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.

In the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction cooker are copper coils through which an electrical current that is alternating runs through. When a compatible pan is placed in the cooking zone the coils instantly generate heat via magnetic induction. Cooking is more efficient because the pan doesn't lose heat.

Many induction hobs come with many features, so you'll be able to find one to suit your style. If you want something easy to use, you can opt for a model with a touchscreen display showing the pan's location in each of its zones. Then, you can tap the display to open an extensive menu of operating options and change the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or types of food which is a great way to save time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option since they consume less electricity and produce no residual heat. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's best to stay away from them.

We recommend choosing a premium induction stove with an integrated extractor. This will help remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a large selection of cooking tools. You'll also get the most value for money if you opt for a dual-flex zone, which allows you to join two zones on the left hand side to make room for larger pans.

If you're looking for a durable hob that will withstand staining, you should consider models that have Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This layer is five times stronger than the normal ceramic coating and guards against stains, scratches, and chips. It is still recommended to employ a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to remove food residue that has been burned on, but avoid any abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Modern and practical electric hobs are a staple element in modern kitchens. They are sleek and can be easily integrated into any decor. Their efficient heating makes them a perfect option for busy families.

In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs employ an element that floats through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. They are also less expensive to run since they can be shut off when not in use - saving you money on energy costs.

It's important to note that not all hobs have the same features. Some hobs are more advanced and include features such as automatic safety shutdown, a digital display, which clearly shows power levels and temperatures, as well as cooking time. Some models also have the ability to boost the speed of the element to provide more power.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.

Electric hobs are a great choice for families. However, if you wear pacemakers, you are not able to make use of this type of stove since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are an ideal alternative for those who need to use their devices with a compatible cookware set that can be bought from our tried and tested selection of kitchen equipment.

Foster models are a good choice if you want an extremely durable and high-quality oven hob. With a wide range of colours and finishes to choose from, you'll find the perfect model for your kitchen.
