Types of Oven Hob

A hob is flat cooking surface that is placed over your oven to cook your pans and pots. There are many different kinds of hobs available, such as electric, gas, and induction.

Look for features such as buttons that rotate control, touch or position. They allow you to control the heating zones by the touch of a button and prevent them from being easily knocked over especially by children.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. The glossy surface is susceptible to damage from food scratches and oven hob residues. To keep your cooktop looking good and functioning effectively it is essential to maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads.

Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled components hidden beneath the glass surface, which generate heat when activated via control knobs. Some models have a radiant element that emits heat to the glass's surface. Others employ halogen elements, which are far more powerful and will heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, which makes them suitable for cook times that are quick.

Some of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, hob such as residual heat indicator that alerts you when the surface remains hot to the contact. This helps prevent burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that prevent children from accidentally changing the settings.

For Oven and hob maximum performance, it's important to use appropriate cookware with your ceramic cooktop. This ensures that your pans are flat-bottomed. This helps to ensure even heat distribution and helps to prevent hot spots that could result in food being overcooked or undercooked. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface, as this could scratch the glass tempered.

For greater flexibility when cooking, we recommend our ceramic hobs that feature dual ring design or 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate either two single pots or a large pan (you'll require a minimum 30cm sized pan to allow it to register). Alternatively, we also offer models with a booster burner for rapid heating of specific areas or pots - great for stir-fry and searing steak. There are also models that have an auto shut-off feature that switches off the hob after a specified time to prevent it from overheating. This is a fantastic security feature that can give you peace of peace of. This feature is activated by pressing "Power on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob, sometimes known as a gas stove or gas cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses the flammable natural or the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the source of fuel. The flame heats both cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides additional safety by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. This elevated design requires extra care when using or cleaning the hob in order to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

A traditional gas hob is lit with an igniter or a pilot light, and the burners are manually controlled. Modern models feature an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs. This makes it easy to adjust the level of heat. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This allows for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs and ovens require a continuous gas supply, which may be an issue when you live in a region with an unreliable or erratic supply. Additionally, gas hobs require regular maintenance to prevent the risk of leaks and corrosion. This is why it is crucial to install a gas hob only after consulting a Gas Safe Registered fitter who can offer expert installation and follow strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances are still popular in certain regions, despite the fact that electric and induction hobs have grown in popularity. This is largely due to the preferences of consumers and environmental concerns in addition to local energy prices and availability. It is crucial to think about your kitchen's cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a type.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our clients seeking an elegant and sleek kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans instead of heating plates or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are located beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An electric current that is alternating is passed through them. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense the magnetic base and release heat directly into the cooker or the pan itself. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than their gas counterparts. To keep your induction stove as fresh as new, all you require is a dampened cloth.

The primary drawback with cooking induction is that you'll need have the right cookware. All cookware, including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick are required to have a base that is magnetic. 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 is a wide selection of induction hobs available, from budget models up to top brands that feature TFT displays and an extensive menu of operating options. When a pan is placed on a power zone, the hob will display its location on the full-color display. It also has a control button or slider which allows you to change the power setting or set a timer. There are many innovative gadgets, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the hob using bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most popular models is an induction hob which comes with an integrated extractor fan to cut down on steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with a limited space as it does not require an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields that are within the kilohertz frequency band to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference values for the magnetic density for the frequency at which it operates. There are no health hazards to be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs are sleek and designed to fit the majority of kitchen designs. These are great for those who prefer using touch controls to dials, and they come with a range of options that will suit your cooking requirements. Most are made from glass that is easy to clean and can also look stylish if you opt for a black or white design. Certain models come with a bridge feature to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others come with an additional power boost button that can provide additional heat for those who have a difficult task.

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular due to their contemporary and clean look that is in line with the modern designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and provide a high degree of security. For instance, they tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and come with a "hot" indicator light that remains on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the contact. They also work more efficiently, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

There are a few aspects to think about when selecting an electric hob. Most require a power supply that is set up with the correct cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs can be costly, and you will need to purchase a set of compatible induction pans if you want to get the most benefit from them. They are also more expensive to run because they generally consume more energy than other types of hobs.
