Types of Hobs
|
||||
|
||||
A hob, [ovens](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/) also referred to as stovetop in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans with electric or flames. There are many different kinds of hobs available, so you can pick one that suits your style and kitchen.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs feature flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and come with five or four 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 and sleek appearance. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces are easy to clean and are able to be cleaned up if spills or splatters occur. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your energy bills. However, one disadvantage of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow to adjust temperature settings and can be a hassle when cooking food that requires immediate reduction or increase in heat.
|
||||
|
||||
Electric hobs are made of a solid plate that is heated by electric elements under. The power of each element can be adjusted individually by rotating knobs. You can even use the boost feature to boost the heat of a single area. Ceramic hobs also have very high rate of heat retention, meaning they'll remain hot to the touch even after being shut off. It's important to install ceramic hobs in a place that is far from flammable items and away from children's reach.
|
||||
|
||||
The benefit of this type of hob is that it can be put in in a variety of worktops such as laminate, solid wood and granite. It's also reasonably priced and is an excellent option for those trying to replace your old hobs without spending a lot of money. However, just like any other appliance, they must be installed correctly and connected to the mains, so we recommend hiring an electrician who is experienced to ensure that your new hobs are safe to use.
|
||||
|
||||
A downside of this type of hob is that it's very sensitive to pan size and shape. You will need to purchase cookware that either is exactly the same as the element or fits comfortably in all of the heating zones. If the cookware doesn't fit the element, it won't recognize it and won't start to heat the bottom of the pan. This can result in cooking that is uneven and make the stove less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs
|
||||
|
||||
Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern design. They can be more expensive than electric models and require professional installation. However, they heat up faster - the water in a full pot will typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This kind of hob is also a great option for cooks who prefer to limit the amount of heat produced. Glass hobs are more prone to damage and require frequent cleaning as they are more likely to accumulate grease and other residue.
|
||||
|
||||
This Bertazzoni hob is an excellent example of gas on glass. It features four monobloc burners in matt black, with control knobs made of metal to create a sleek, elegant finish. It also has the wok ring that has 4kW for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easier to keep clean.
|
||||
|
||||
This Bosch gas hob is another highly recommended model. It combines a stylish piece of toughened glass with modern cooking technology. The dual ring design to the left of the hob offers the double inner flame to promote improvement in uniform heat distribution which accelerates cooking time. It also has an excellent power level indicator that assists in regulating the precise temperature of your flame. You can choose between nine pre-set settings, like the highest setting for sear steaks and a lower one for scrambled eggs.
|
||||
|
||||
The simple and intuitive controls were loved by our test subjects who found them be extremely easy to use. A few minor drawbacks are the fact that you need to physically press the controls nine times before you can reach the highest level of heating and it may be difficult to discern the status of the burners through the glass.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the best gas on glass hobs are available for affordable prices like this Neff model. While it's not going to win any design awards, it does the job well and can be an ideal addition to your kitchen at just PS120.

|
||||
Electric hobs
|
||||
|
||||
There are many electric hobs that work for modern homes. They not only offer an elegant design that blends into the rest of your kitchen and are also equipped with advanced functionality that is safer, faster and more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
|
||||
|
||||
Ceramic glass hobs are among the most well-known electric stoves. These hobs are designed with an elegant glazed finish and have a surface that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. These hobs also come with a power booster feature that allows you to increase your heat for a short period of time.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs are another electric hob that is ideal for modern homes. Induction hobs cook your food directly by using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric and gas plates. They are therefore more energy-efficient and provide precise temperature control. However, they require a specific kind of pan to work with them and can be expensive to set up.
|
||||
|
||||
Glass hobs with gas are a different option for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it features the burner underneath an underlying layer of flat glass. The glass is heatproof as well as shatterproof, making it easier to clean than tempered glass. A lot of these hobs come with the "hot surface indicator" that alerts you to the heat.
|
||||
|
||||
Gas hobs remain a preferred option for many home cooks, but they can be noisy and hard to clean. They also take a while to heat up and cool down and their flame can be hard to manage. Electric hobs on the other side are more efficient in energy and easy to clean.
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve the highest level of modern technology You can even find electric stoves that are compatible with LPG gas. You can switch between a variety of fuels, providing you with the flexibility needed to fit your lifestyle. It is important to remember, however, that these stoves will need to be installed by an approved gas safe engineer and will require a separate cable of 6mm in your kitchen. They're not suitable for people with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field can cause interference with them.
|
||||
|
||||
Hobs with induction
|
||||
|
||||
Beneath the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils that generate an electrical current that is alternating. When an induction-compatible plate is placed on the hob the coils create magnetic fields that directly heat the pan rather than heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. This makes induction hobs very efficient from an energy standpoint since there's no heat that is wasted.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a variety of models of induction stoves from the basic ones with a single zone identified by rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction stoves that can have up to six zones and allow for multiple pots to cook simultaneously in one flex space. Certain models have a touch slider control that is very similar to the way you operate on an iPhone. You can choose the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Certain models have preset settings that are specific to food items or recipes which can help you save time in the kitchen.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs can be more expensive than ceramic hobs, but they are believed to be more energy efficient over the long term because they heat up faster and use a smaller space for heating up which can help lower your energy costs. They also cool faster and have a safer design that doesn't have hot plates, which makes them ideal for families with children or elderly people who live in the house. They do, however, generate a magnetic force that could affect certain medical devices like pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on bigger burners.
|
||||
|
||||
Like all electric hobs you'll need to keep your electric hob clean regularly since food particles and other debris can accumulate over time. You can make use of a basic oven cleaning product or purchase a specialist one to keep your oven in good condition and shiny for a longer time. You should never use abrasive cleaning products or a scouring pad on your stove since they could scratch the surface.
