Types of Hobs

A hob (known as a stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans using electricity or cooktop flames. There are many different types of hobs. You can pick the one that is best oven suited to your kitchen and your style.

Induction hobs have flat ceramic surfaces and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs look sleek and stylish and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek design. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and can easily be cleaned if spills or splatters occur. They are quick to heat up and are energy efficient which means they can cut down on your electricity bill. However, one downside of ceramic hobs is that they may be slow in changing temperatures, which can be frustrating when cooking something that requires an instant reduction or increase in heat.

Electric hobs use plates that are heated by electric elements beneath. The power of each element can be individually adjusted via rotary knobs. You can utilize the Boost feature to raise the temperature of a certain area. Ceramic hobs also have very high rate of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being shut off. It is essential to place ceramic hobs in a place that is away from flammable items and away from children's reach.

The advantage of this type of hob is that it can be put in on a variety of worktops such as laminate and solid wood as well as granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent option if you're looking to replace your previous hobs without spending too much money. However, like all appliances they need to be properly installed and connected to the mains, and we recommend hiring an electrician professional to ensure your new hobs are safe for use.

This type of hob is sensitive to pan sizes and shapes. It is necessary to purchase cookware that is either the exact same size as the element, or that will fit comfortably inside the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware doesn't fit, then the element will not recognize it and won't start to heat up the bottom of the pan. This can lead to uneven results in cooking and makes the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs are sleek and contemporary in design. While they cost more than electric models and may require professional installation, they often take less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to be boiling in four minutes or less. This kind of hob and oven works well for cooks who need to limit the amount of heat is produced. However, it must be noted that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel ones and may need to be cleaned more often, as the build-up of grease and residue tends to stay on the surface rather than slide off.

This Bertazzoni hob is a fantastic example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners finished in matt black with metal control knobs to create a sleek, elegant look. The wok ring has a power of 4kW for extra versatility and the pan supports are dishwasher-safe.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is a stylish slab of toughened glass with advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left of the gas hob features an inner burner that doubles to improve heat distribution and increase the speed of cooking. It also features a handy power level indicator that allows you to control the exact temperature of the flame. You can choose from nine preset settings, including the high setting for searing steak and a low setting for scrambled eggs.

Our testers also liked the controls as they were simple and easy to use. Some minor disadvantages are the fact that you have to physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest level of heating, and that it can be difficult to discern the status of the burners through the glass.

A few of the top gas on glass hobs are available at affordable prices like this Neff model. While it's unlikely to win any design awards, it does the job well and is an excellent addition to your kitchen for just over PS120.

Electric ovens hobs

There are a number of electric hobs that are perfect for modern homes. They're not only sleek and stylish, they are they are also more efficient, safer, and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most popular electric hobs is a ceramic glass hob. They are designed with a sleek glazed finish, and feature an exterior that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost feature which lets you increase the heat of your cooker for a short period of time.

Induction hobs are another electric hob perfect for modern homes. Unlike traditional gas and electric plate hobs, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. This means they are more energy efficient and offer precise temperature control. However they require a particular type of pan to function and can be costly to install.

Hobs made of glass that are gas-powered are another great option for modern homes. It is equipped with a burner under a flat glass layer, similar to a conventional gas stove. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempering glass. A lot of these hobs are equipped with a "hot surface indicator" which alerts you to the temperature.

While gas hobs remain an option that is popular with home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can be difficult to control and can take some time to heat up and cool off. Electric hobs, on the other side, are more efficient in energy use and easier to clean.

For the highest level of modern efficiency You can also find electric hobs compatible with LPG gas. You can switch between a variety of fuels, giving you the flexibility needed to adapt to your lifestyle. It's important to remember that these hobs must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and require a 6mm cable in your kitchen. They're not suitable for those with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Under the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils that run an alternating electrical current. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on a hob the coils generate magnetic fields that produce heat directly in the pan instead of heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). This makes induction hobs very efficient from an energy perspective because there's no leftover heat being wasted.

There are many different models of an induction hob starting from basic ones that have a single cooking zone with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that have up to six zones and allow the cooking of multiple pots simultaneously in one flex zone. Some of these premium models come with the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. Simply slide your finger across the power bar at the middle to select the desired level of heat left to right boosts heat and right-to-left decreases it. Certain models have preset settings for specific food types or recipes that can cut down time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However they are more efficient in the long term. They heat up faster and have a smaller area for heating which can lower your energy costs. They cool faster, and they have a safer design without hot plates. This makes them ideal for families that have elderly or children. However, they do produce magnetic fields that can interfere with some medical devices, such as pacemakers, so it is important to place your pans on the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

As with all electric hobs, you'll have to keep your induction hob clean because food and debris could build up over time. You can either make use of a basic oven cleaning product or invest in a professional one to keep your stove in good condition and shiny for a longer time. You should never use any abrasive cleaning product or scratching pads on your induction stove since they could scratch the surface.
