Which Hobs and Ovens Are Right For You?

When it comes to hobs and ovens there are a myriad of kinds to pick from. So which one is right for you?

Gas hobs are well-known for their quick heat and precise flame control. They are compatible with a variety of cookware, and are perfect for cooking things that require precise temperatures, for example, steaks.

Gas hobs use natural gas to generate flames which heat pots and pans. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob to adjust the size of the flame and heat output. Modern gas hobs come with safety features like flame failure devices that shut off the burners when the flame is out, thereby preventing accidental fires.

Gas hobs have become popular for cooking due to their speed and accuracy. They can quickly reach high temperatures which makes them ideal for cooking meats and boiling water. They can also be adjusted to lower the heat level for delicate dishes and sauces. Additionally, a gas hob is less likely to cause food to stick, which can be a problem with certain electric cooktops.

Gas hobs are not as efficient, but they still use very little electricity. They also have a lower initial cost than models with induction which makes them an attractive option for kitchens on tight budgets. The cost of maintaining the natural gas or LPG hob will be determined by local costs. These prices can vary greatly.

FUJIOH provides a variety of built-in models in various of finishes, including toughened glass or stainless steel. This lets you choose the best fit for your kitchen. Built-in gas hobs are not visible from the countertop unlike freestanding models. This makes it much easier to clean. Many of our stoves have sleek, minimalist designs and are perfect for open-plan kitchens.

While the advantages of a gas stove are evident, it's important to know the health risks associated with this type of cooktop. Studies have proven that gas hobs produce indoor pollution levels far above the UK and EU standards for air quality. These pollutants result from the interaction between the naked flame and the vaporised oil that is released from the cookware. This is particularly prevalent when using non-stick pans, which are often used with gas hobs. To reduce the chance of exposure to these pollutants it is important to keep from burning any flammable materials near a gas stove.

Electric hobs

If you're looking for an electric hob to add to your kitchen or replace an old one, there are plenty of options to choose from. It's important to think about your cooking requirements and how you want your new hob to appear, but there are also practical considerations such as the space you have, and what kind of energy efficiency rating you're looking for.

Electric hobs are a common choice in modern homes. They are available in a variety of styles and finishes that range from basic coil hobs that have touch controls to elegant ceramic or glass models that are tempered. They are relatively easy to clean and typically provide better temperature control than gas hobs but may take longer to heat up and cool down compared to gas hobs.

Another kind of hob that's becoming a favorite among homeowners is the domino hob, that comes in ceramic and electric versions. The design is meant to be flush with your kitchen countertop These hobs have flat surfaces that are easy to clean, while heating elements are hidden beneath. The hobs are illuminated with bright red when they are turned on, and spread heat evenly across the cooking area.


The most appealing aspect of domino hobs is that they combine the style and versatility of an induction model and a ceramic model. They can be used to accommodate griddles, Teppanyakis and standard hob areas to provide a unique dining experience.

Ceramic and induction hobs feature a sleek, stylish design that looks modern in any kitchen. They also come with a number of useful features. Certain models come with an energy boost feature that instantly increases the capacity of one cooking zone. This is great for those in a rush to cook. Many have safety features, like hot indicators that alert you when the area is still too hot to touch or child locks that prevent anyone from operating the hob.

Induction hobs

Induction hobs differ from electric and gas hobs as they utilize magnetism to heat pots and pans instead of direct heat. Under the glass surface of an induction hob are coils through which a varying electrical current runs; when an induction-compatible pan is put on top, it creates the magnetic field to produce electricity inside the iron core of the pan, which heats it and in turn cooking the food inside. Induction hobs generally cook faster and are popular for their energy efficiency, with many homeowners reporting a decrease in their overall cooking expenses.

According to a few sources, induction hobs produce high levels of electromagnetic fields with frequencies in the Kilohertz range when used. At normal distances from the appliance, these fields will not be harmful to your health, and they diminish with increasing distance. These magnetic fields can cause interference with pacemakers, so it is recommended to keep a minimum to ten centimetres between the cooker and the pacemaker.

Induction hobs require special cookware. The pans need to have an even base and are constructed of steel or iron, with an additional magnetic layer. Cast iron is a popular choice however, you can also find stainless steel that is compatible with induction or aluminum, as well as copper (check the label to ensure compatibility). Some hobs feature dual rings that have smaller and bigger cooking zones to fit different pan sizes.

The majority of induction hobs feature a touch control system with power bars in each cooking zone, so you can select the temperature you prefer by sliding your finger across the power bar - left to right increases power and right to left reduces it. Some hobs also have a slider that works like the one found on an iPhone. Simply swipe your finger to select the ring, and then tap the power bar to set the desired temperature.

Certain hobs have an option for a child lock, which prevents children from accidentally turning off the hob or altering settings. The majority of hobs we've tested have this feature, which is a great way to reassure parents. We always suggest that hobs are handled with care and placed in a manner that they are not easily tripped or sat on.

Glass and Gas

Gas on glass hobs offer sleek design that is perfect for modern kitchens with modular design. They have a sealed burner which prevents dust and impurities from getting inside. They are also easy-to-clean and are a great option for busy families.

These kinds of hobs are made with toughened glass that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners are also coated with stainless steel and chromium to ensure durability. These features make them durable and long-lasting. These features are crucial particularly in terms of safety.

One of the biggest advantages of gas on glass cooktops is that they are easier to clean than traditional stainless steel models. It is important to keep in mind that only flat-bottomed cookware and pans are recommended for use on glass cooktops. This is because a rounded bottom can cause too much of the surface to come into contact with the burners, which can result in overheating and causing damage.

Another benefit of glass-on-glass cooktops is that they do not require as much maintenance as stainless steel models. Stoves made of stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to avoid burning and other damages. A glass cooktop, however, can be cleaned with a cloth or sponge and a cleaning solution. They also come with a built in shut off valve that will turn off the flames in the event that they accidentally turn off.

These gas stoves are available in various sizes and finishes that will fit any style of kitchen or decor. Whether you want minimalist design that seamlessly blends with other appliances or a more modern and luxurious look, there's something to match your style.

The Bertazzoni Professional Series 60cm gas hob comes with four black monoblocs in matt black and accurate metal control knobs which add to its luxurious feel. The burners have a high heat capacity and power for a wide variety of cooking. The wok ring is integrated, making this a versatile option for any kitchen.
