Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are at the heart of any kitchen, and there are many different options to choose from. We offer a variety of cooking rings from four to six, and some with additional features such as pan supports.

They can heat up quickly and cool down quickly and have a uniform temperature of the cooking surface. Professional chefs often prefer them due to their being easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A well-liked choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as an grate that pots and pans are placed on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric hobs since they are powered by a natural gas supply.

These are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes create a sleek and modern aesthetic that can be a perfect match for any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to scratching and scorching which is why it’s essential to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your hob’s pristine condition, especially if are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the burner caps and grates for deeper cleaning, soaking them in warm soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste out of baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn stain without damaging the surface.

Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances, built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the kitchen countertop and provide a seamless appearance. They can also be mounted on a stand-alone base, making them simple to move in case you move home or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs need a lot of work and professional installation to be installed in your kitchen.

Gas hobs can be found in a range of finishes. From the traditional black and white, to the modern glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. Some are available in stunning colours like blue or green to add personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for decades and are a safe, reliable alternative. They provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. They also are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid any accidents, it is essential to follow safety guidelines and practice proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also have an automatic flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern look. They are also relatively easy to clean and warm up. There are a variety of styles to choose from, including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use. They typically have built-in residual heat indicators that shut off the zone if it has been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This can reduce the chance of burns and is especially useful when your children are young.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be prone to scratches and chips. This is more of a issue if you drag pans across it rather than lifting them by their handles, so we advise taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also advise against using magnetic or metallic cookware on a ceramic cooktop as this could cause damage to the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This can be a hassle especially in a kitchen that is busy or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30%.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs heat up the fastest and are the most efficient option available. Induction hobs are extremely clean and safe, and they don’t store any heat in the cooking zone. However, they can be expensive.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs have become a popular choice for kitchen renovations. They’re a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They also cool down more quickly than traditional hobs, so they’re easier to keep clean.

In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an electrical current that is alternating runs through. When a suitable pan is placed in the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat via magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently because there’s no loss of heat from the pan itself.

You’ll find an induction hob that will suit your taste. If you’re looking for something simple to operate, you can opt for a model with an LCD display that shows the pan’s location in all its zones. When you tap on the display, you can access a detailed menu for operation, changing the power settings or the timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or kinds of food which is a great way to cut down on time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered one of the most energy efficient cooktops available, since they do not generate heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. They may interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

Our recommendation is to choose a top induction cooker with an integrated extractor. This will eliminate smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a broad selection of cooking tools. You’ll also get the most value for your money if you select a dual-flex zone, which allows you to join two zones on the left side to make room for larger pans.

If you’re looking to purchase a durable hob that is resistant to tough stains, try models that have Hotpoint’s CleanProtect coating. The coating is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains and chips. To remove any burnt-on food residues, make use of a nonabrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are a crucial feature in many modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are sleek and can be easily fitted into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a great option for busy families.

Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and warms the food that is placed on the top. They’re also more cost-effective to run as they can be turned off when not in use – saving you money on energy costs.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that not all ovens are created equal. Certain hobs are more sophisticated, with features like automatic safety shutdown as well as a digital display which clearly displays power levels and temperatures, as well as cooking time. Certain models come with an enhancement feature that boosts the speed and power of the appliance.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing, spillages and splatters can be easily cleaned and your hob will be in good condition for longer.

While these features make electric hobs an excellent choice for families, it’s worth bearing in mind that if are fitted with a pacemaker, it is not possible to use this kind of cooker as its electromagnetic field may interfere with your device. Induction hobs are an ideal alternative for those who need to use their devices with an appropriate cookware set that can be bought from our tried and tested range of kitchen equipment.
