Gas Hobs

A well-liked choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as a grate on which cookware and pans rest on. They heat up quickly and have precise temperature control. They are also able to accommodate a variety of cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric options as they utilise natural gas sources.

They are available in a broad variety of finishes, including ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes give them a sleek and modern aesthetic that can be a perfect match for any kitchen design. However, they are prone to scorching and scratching and scratching, so it's crucial to take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the grates and burner caps for a deeper clean, by soaking them in warm soapy water and scrubbing gently. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to get rid of stain that is stubborn without harming the surface.

Built-in gas hobs offer an elegant appearance, in contrast to traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be placed on a separate foundation, so they are easy to move when you change the layout of your kitchen.

Gas hobs also come with an automatic flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame has gone out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern design. They are also relatively easy to clean and heat up. There are many designs to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use. They often have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the area if it's been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This can help minimise the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is particularly beneficial when you have children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic cooktop can be prone to scratches and chips. This is more of a issue if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them by their handles, and we suggest being extra careful when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you do not use metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they can cause damage to the surface.

Another downside of a ceramic hob is that it takes longer than induction or gas hobs to cool down. This is a problem when you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking areas. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this, and offer a selection that can cut down cooling times by 30 percent.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient option available. They are extremely hygienic and safe since they don't keep heat in the cooking areas, but there is a cost to pay for these benefits because they can be more expensive than other options.

Hobs induction

A popular choice for kitchen renovations, induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic/glass surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob are copper coils through which an alternating electrical current flows through. When a suitable pan is placed in the cooking zone the coils instantly produce heat through magnetic induction. This lets you cook more efficiently since there's no heat loss from the pan itself.

Tap on the display and you'll be able to access a comprehensive menu for operation, changing the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to fit certain food recipes or kinds. This is a great way to save time when cooking.

Induction hobs are also thought of as one of the most energy efficient cooktop options, because they produce no residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. They could interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We recommend choosing a premium induction stove with an integrated extractor. This will remove smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a wide range of cooking utensils. Select one with the dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

If you're looking for a hard-wearing hob that can resist hard-wearing stains, consider models that have Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This coating guards against scratches, chips and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their normal ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, use a nonabrasive cleaning agent or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives which could scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. Their sleek design means they can fit nicely into any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.

However, it's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Some hobs are more advanced equipped with features like automatic safety shutdown as well as a digital display which clearly displays the power level and temperature and cooking time. Some models come with an enhancement feature that boosts the speed and power of the appliance.
