Types of Hobs Oven Hobs are a must-have kitchen appliance that can either blend with the worktop or stand out as a feature. They're also one of the most well-known types of cookers because they're easy to use and offer modern, sleek designs. There are five distinct types to choose from. Each one has its own distinct design and function. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are an elegant and functional option that sit close to the counter for a a modern appearance. They function by transferring electric currents through coiled elements underneath the glass surface. This is then heated and transferred that energy to your pan. Spills and splatters can easily be cleaned with the flat surface. They can stain easily particularly if you're using certain liquids or foods. It is recommended to avoid cleaners that are abrasive. Electric ceramic hobs are an ideal choice for those who want to save money and don't need a gas or induction cooktop. They are more difficult to heat than other kinds of hobs, and they are less efficient when the cooking zones don't match your pans. This is due to the fact that the entire cooking zone heats up, and may then transfer some of that energy to the pan, which wastes some energy. Certain ceramic hobs are susceptible to overheating. They usually include residual heat indicators to prevent this. They will inform you if the hob remains hot after you finish cooking. This is designed to minimize accidents and to help you avoid falling on a hot stove surface. If you're looking for a fast and easy way to add a modern, elegant look to your kitchen A black ceramic hob is a great choice. They are affordable and come in a range of sizes and styles that will suit any budget. Contrary to traditional gas stoves, that require multiple components to work properly ceramic cooktops are made of a single piece glass that is tempered and sits directly on the countertop. They are also less difficult to install and cost less to repair, which makes them a popular choice for homeowners who want to renovate their homes. To protect yourself from injury and not voiding the warranty, it's important to hire a professional to do repairs and install the product. Gas on Glass Hobs Gas on glass hobs offer the same functions as traditional gas stoves but are much cleaner and more appealing visually. The glass's smooth, tempered surface is heat-resistant and cleans up after each use, with sturdy cast iron pan supports, keeping pans and pots secure while cooking. Some models also include the safety feature of a fire failure that shuts off the gas supply in case the flame accidentally extinguishes making sure your kitchen is safe and secure. This type of hob comes in various finishes ranging from stainless steel to glass. The choice of finish can be based on your personal preferences and also how it integrates into the kitchen's design. The sleek lines of the cooker makes it an attractive addition to your kitchen. Our selection of gas hobs with glass comes in a variety sizes, ranging from compact four burner models to larger six burner models with powerful dual flame wok burners. Each one of them has stylish dials which are easy to read, and are responsive. This makes it easy to alter the temperature of the flame to create a low simmering temperature for sauces or a high heat for searing steaks. Certain models of our glass-on-glass hobs come with advanced features like precise heat adjustment, which guarantees better results in the kitchen. Some models come with a digital timer, child lock and other features that allow you to enjoy all the benefits of modern cooktops without the security or safety.

Induction hobs are a common choice amongst homeowners who want a sleek, modern and practical cooktop for their kitchen. The cookware is heated with magnetic induction, which means that the surface of the ceramic glass remains cool. They're easy to clean and produce an instant, evenly distributed and controlled heat. They're also energy efficient and require no combustion, which helps to reduce your carbon footprint. Hobs induction They heat pans with induction technology as the name implies. This works by placing coils under each cooking zone which, when activated emit magnetic fields that directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pot placed on it. This saves energy because the oven stays cool until you place a pan over it. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children. Certain induction hobs feature an area that is flexible on the left that lets you connect two zones to one large zone – ideal for those who cook with larger pans and pots. Some models, like this WiFi-enabled model from Samsung come with more advanced features such as a 'pause' function which will reduce the temperature once you remove your pan. SmartThings allows you to control the appliance remotely. You can set timers, alerts and even turn on and off the oven when you're not home. Induction hobs are also among the most energy-efficient available. This is because they only create and store heat in the pan itself, not on the surface surrounding the cooker hood, which you would find on a ceramic or gas cooktop. Additionally, they usually shut off faster if there is no pan present or when the pan is removed, which reduces the residual heat. Induction hobs may be a bit more costly than other models however they can save you money in the long term on your utility costs because they heat and cool faster than ceramic hobs. Induction hobs allow for more precise temperature control, and they can only be used with iron-based pans that are designed for this type. This Hotpoint induction stove features a handy automatic cook function. You can choose from four preset cooking recipes (boiling, melting, slow cooking and keep warm), which will automatically select the right power level for the ingredients you're using. This model comes with a sleek touchscreen design and nine power levels, and there are bonus safety features including locking controls as well as the indicator for residual heat, and an auto shut off in the event there is a spill. Combination Induction and Gas Hobs There is no clear answer to the question of whether gas or induction hobs are better, since each type of cooktop has its own advantages. Gas cooktops are versatile and offer instant heat, while induction cooktops are high energy efficiency and precise control. To enjoy the best of both a hybrid hob provides the versatility of making use of both induction and gas cooking zones simultaneously. Hybrid hobs also stand out with their modern, sleek design and easy-to clean surfaces. The hybrid hobs from FUJIOH, for instance, are constructed using the top Scott Ceran® ceramic glass – a product specifically designed to stand up to extremely high temperatures and provide superior performance. A major advantage of combination gas and induction hobs is that they permit you to optimise your energy consumption based on your cooking needs which can help you save money on your utility bills. Induction hobs make use of electromagnetic fields to directly heat the cookware, reducing wasted energy by heating food rather than the kitchen's surface. Induction hobs are more secure than gas stoves since they have a cool-to-touch surface. On the other hand, gas hobs are not as efficient as induction models and may cause a build-up of gases in the air, which may be harmful if inhaled. Fortunately, most gas hobs have safety features that reduce the chance of burns and accidents, including automatic shut-off functions and burner grates to prevent the splatters of gas from falling into crevices. A hybrid hob lets you to cook a variety of recipes with different techniques. For instance you can cook your vegetables on the gas side while simmering sauces in the induction zone. A majority of hybrid hobs feature bridgeable zones of induction that allow you to connect two zones to create a single space suitable for larger pans or griddles. Some models come with built-in clocks to aid in cooking recipes that require precise cooking times. This feature is especially helpful for entertaining as it makes it easy to keep track of multiple dishes at once.
