Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs form the core of any kitchen. There are many options. We have a variety of cooking rings from four to six, with some with additional features such as pan supports. They cool and heat quickly and have a consistent cooking surface temperature. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to manage. Gas Hobs A well-liked option, gas hobs come with burner rings as well as a grate that cookware and pans rest on. They are quick to heat up and provide precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric options since they are powered by natural gas sources. These are available in different finishes like ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes create a sleek and modern aesthetic that will complement any kitchen design. They can be prone for scratching and scorching, so you should take extra care to clean them. Regular cleaning can help keep your kitchen appliance in perfect condition. This is especially important if you own a traditional freestanding model. You can take off the burner caps and grates for deeper cleaning, placing them in warm soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild baking soda paste and use it to remove stubborn stains without damaging the surface. Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the countertop of the kitchen, providing a seamless look. They can also be installed on a standalone base, making them simple to move in case you move home or change the layout of your kitchen. However, installing the gas hob in your kitchen requires an extensive amount of work and professional installation. Similar to other types of cooktops gas hobs are available with a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional white and black to contemporary glossy glass. Some even come in a stunning green or blue colour to add a splash of character to your kitchen. Gas hobs are a safe and reliable choice that has been used for decades. Gas hobs are energy efficient, offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat evenly. To avoid any accidents, it is essential to follow safety guidelines and ensure proper ventilation. Gas hobs also come with an automatic flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame has gone out. This prevents any accidental burns or explosions. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern design. They are also relatively easy to clean and heat up. They come in a range of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square shapes, so there's one that's suitable for every kitchen. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use. They often have built-in residual heat indicators that shut off the area if it has been used and is too hot to touch or clean with only a few minutes. This reduces the risk of accidental burns and is especially beneficial if you have young children. However the flat surface of a ceramic cooktop can be susceptible to scratches and chips. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pans across the surface instead of lifting them with their handles. We recommend that you take extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob as this can damage the surface. A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be problematic if you're working in a bustling, packed kitchen or need to swiftly switch from one cooking zone to another. However, many manufacturers have worked on this issue and have now launched a range of hobs that reduce cooling time by as much as 30 percent. Hobs induction Induction hobs warm up the fastest and are the most efficient option available. They are extremely hygienic and safe as they don't keep heat in the cooking areas, however there's a price to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other alternatives. Hobs induction A popular choice for kitchen upgrades, induction hobs are stylish alternatives to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan, rather than the ceramic/glass surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. ovens and hobs cool down more quickly than traditional hobs, so they're less difficult to clean. Copper coils are located beneath the smooth, glossy ceramic/glass surface of an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is pushed through them. When a compatible pan is placed on the cooking area the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently because the pan doesn't lose heat. Many induction cooktops come with many features, so you'll be able to find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something that is easy to operate, you could choose a model that has an entire touchscreen display that displays the location of the pan on every zone. Click on the display and you'll be able access a thorough menu of operation, altering the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs will even offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food which is a great way to save time and effort while cooking. Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy efficient cooktop options, because they do not generate heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, since they generate magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to stay away from them. Our recommendation is to choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has a built-in extractor. This will help remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a broad range of cooking utensils. Choose a model that has dual flex zones. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots. Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option for those looking for a sturdy hob that will repel tough staining. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains. According to Hotpoint, is five times stronger than their normal ceramic coating. You should still employ a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad for removing burnt-on food residue and avoid cleaners that are abrasive, which can scratch the ceramic surface. Electric Hobs Elegant and practical electric hobs are an essential feature of many modern kitchens. Their sleek design makes them easy to fit into any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households. Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is on top of it. They're also more cost-effective to run since they can be shut off when not in use – saving you money on energy costs. However, it's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Certain hobs are more sophisticated and include features such as an automatic safety shut-off as well as a digital display which clearly shows the temperature and power levels, as well as cooking time. Some models come with a boost feature that increases the power and speed of the element. Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it much cleaner than a gas model. Spills and splatters can easily be cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.
