Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a common option. They come with burner rings and grates that pots and saucepans rest on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can also accommodate many cooking techniques such as boiling water to grilling meats. Gas hobs are generally cheaper than electric options since they are powered by a natural gas source.

They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes give them a sleek and modern aesthetic that can be a perfect match for any kitchen design. They are susceptible to burning and scratches and so you must take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning will help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially crucial if you have an older style freestanding model. For a more thorough clean you can remove the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water, then scrub them gently. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and Hobs and ovens use it to eliminate stain that is stubborn without harming the surface.

Built-in gas hobs provide seamless design, which is different from traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be positioned on a separate base so they are easy to move around when you move or change the layout of your kitchen.

Another benefit to gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply once the burner's flame is gone. This prevents any accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern appearance. They are also relatively easy to clean and warm up. They come in a range of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square shapes, so there's a design that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators which shut off the zone when it's too hot to touch. This reduces the risk of burns and is especially beneficial for children who are still young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to scratches and chips. This is more of a problem if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up with their handles, and we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs as they could damage the surface.

A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This could be problematic if you're working in a packed kitchen or need to quickly switch from one cooking area to another. Numerous manufacturers have made improvements to this and offer a range that can reduce cooling times by 30%.

Induction Hobs

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the fastest to warm up and are the most energy efficient option available. Induction hobs oven are extremely clean and safe, and they don't store any heat in the cooking zone. However they can be costly.

Induction Hobs

This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They also cool faster than traditional hobs, so they're less difficult to clean.

Beneath the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob are copper coils which an alternating electrical current runs through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a suitable pot or pan is placed on the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently as there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.

Many induction hobs come with a wide range of features, so you'll be able to find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something easy to control, you can choose a model that has an entire touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan on every single zone. Then, you can tap the display to access the menu for operation that is extensive and alter the power setting or timer. Certain induction hobs come pre-programmed with settings to suit certain food recipes or kinds. This is an excellent way to save time when cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered one of the most energy efficient cooktops, as they don't generate any residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, they could interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

We recommend you choose a premium induction hob with a built-in extractor. This will help remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a broad variety of cooking utensils. You'll also get the most value for your money if you select dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to make room for larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are an excellent choice if you want a sturdy hob that will resist hard-wearing staining. The coating is five times more durable than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. To get rid of any food residues, make use of a nonabrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pads. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products that could scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Modern and practical electric hobs are a staple feature of many modern kitchens. Their sleek appearance means they can fit nicely into any decor and their efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy households.

Electric hobs unlike gas hobs do not use a flame. Instead, they employ an element that rises up through ceramic glass to heat the food directly. They're also more economical to run, as they can be turned off when not in use - saving your money on energy bills.

However, it's important to note that not all hobs are created equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features like automatic safety shutoff and a digital display that clearly displays the power level, temperature and cooking times. Some models also have the ability to boost the speed of the element for more power.

Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface that makes it much cleaner than a traditional gas model. Spills and splatters can be easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means that your hob will last longer.
