Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen and there are a variety of choices available. We have a range of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six, some with additional features like pan supports. They heat up quickly and cool down quickly with a uniform temperature of the cooking surface. They are often favored by professional chefs and easy to control. Gas Hobs A popular option, gas hobs come with burner rings as well as a grate on which cookware and pans rest on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs tend to be cheaper than electric options because they utilize a natural gas source. They're available in a wide variety of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give cabinets a modern and sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scratching and scorching, so you should be extra careful when cleaning them. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your hob's pristine condition, especially if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. To get a more thorough clean, you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and scrub gently. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to remove stain that is stubborn without harming the surface. Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can also be mounted on a separate base, making them easy to move when you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. However, incorporating an gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation. Like other types of cooktops, gas hobs are available with a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional black and white to modern glossy glass. Some even come in a stunning blue or green colour to add a splash of character to your kitchen. Gas hobs have been used 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 crucial to practice proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid accidents. Gas hobs also have the ability to shut off the flame when it fails. stops the gas flow when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs have an elegant, modern look and they're relatively quick to warm up and clean. They are available in a variety of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional square and rectangular designs, so there's a style that's suitable for every kitchen. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that turn off the zone when it's too hot to touch. This can lower the chance of burns and is particularly useful if your children are still young. However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be prone to scratches and chips. This is more of a problem if you drag pans across it rather than lifting them up with their handles, so we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you avoid using magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs as they could damage the surface. Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This could be problematic if you're working in a crowded kitchen or want to swiftly switch from one cooking area to another. Many manufacturers have made improvements to this and offer a range that can cut cooling times by 30 percent. Induction Hobs The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to warm up and are the most energy efficient option available. Induction hobs are extremely clean and safe. They don't hold any heat on the cooking area. However, they can be expensive. Induction Hobs A popular choice for kitchen upgrades Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This reduces energy consumption and makes them safer to use. They cool quicker than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean. Beneath the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an alternating electrical current runs through. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a compatible pot or pan is placed on the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently as there is no loss of heat from the pan itself. Many induction cooktops come with a wide range of features, so you'll surely find one to suit your style. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can opt for a model with an LCD display that shows the pan's location in each of its zones. When you tap on the display, you'll be able to access a comprehensive menu of operation, altering the power setting or the timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food – a great feature to cut down on time and effort while cooking. hob and oven are also considered to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops available, since they don't generate any residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's best to avoid using them near them. Our recommendation is to choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has an extractor built-in. This will help remove smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a wide range of cooking utensils. Choose a model with dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots. Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are an excellent choice if you want an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to tough stains. This layer is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. To clean any food residues, employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrub pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that can scratch the ceramic surface. Electric Hobs Modern and practical electric hobs are a staple feature of many modern kitchens. They are elegant and easily fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them a perfect option for busy families. In contrast to gas, which uses an igniter to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that rises through the ceramic glass and 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 bills. However, it's important to keep in mind that not all ovens are equal. Certain hobs are more modern equipped with features like an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display which clearly shows the power level and temperature and cooking time. Some models have a boost feature that increases the power and speed of the appliance. Electric hobs are also easier to clean due to their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters can be easily cleaned, meaning your hob will remain in good condition for longer. While these features make electric hobs an excellent choice for families, it's important to keep in mind that if you are fitted with a pacemaker, you can't use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device.
