Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans using electricity or flames. There are a variety of hobs, and you can choose one that fits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs feature a flat ceramic cooking surface and have four or five zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are elegant and stylish, and easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a sleek, modern design. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They are quick to heat up and are energy efficient and can lower the cost of electricity. Ceramic hobs aren't always fast when changing the temperature settings. This can be a hassle when you have to cook something that requires quick reduction or increase of the heat.

Electric hobs use an uncooked plate that is heated by electric elements beneath. These elements can be individually controlled by rotary knobs and nipped up to the power level you require. You can even use the 'boost' feature in order to increase the temperature of a single zone. Ceramic hobs hold heat extremely well, so even after they are turned off, they'll be hot to the touch. This can be a challenge when you have children, so it's recommended to install them in a location which is far from flammable objects and not within reach of young children.

But, as with all appliances, they need to be installed correctly and connected to the mains, so we would recommend hiring an electrician who is experienced to ensure that the new hobs are safe for use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to the pan's size and shape. It is necessary to purchase cookware that's exactly the same size as the element, or that will fit comfortably inside each of the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware isn't the same size as the element, it will not recognize it and won't heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and make the hob less energy efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas have a sleek and modern appearance. Although they may cost more than electric models and require professional installation, they often require less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a full pan of water to come to a boil within four minutes or less. This type of hob also is ideal for cooks who need to control the amount of heat that is generated. However, it must be observed that a glass-based hob is more prone to damage than stainless steel models and will likely need to be cleaned more frequently, as grease and residue build up tends to stick rather than slide off.

This Bertazzoni hob is a fantastic example of gas on glass. It has four monobloc burners in matt black, with control knobs made of metal to create a sleek, elegant appearance. It also includes an oblong wok ring with 4kW for additional versatility, as well as pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is a stylish slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob provides a double inner burner to improve the distribution of heat and accelerate cooking.

You can select from nine preset settings, such as high settings to sear steaks and a lower one for scrambled eggs.

The simple, yet intuitive controls were also well appreciated by our testers who found them be very simple to use. Some minor issues are that you must physically press the controls nine times to get to the highest temperature and it may be difficult to discern the status of the burners through the glass.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a great choice for modern homes. They're not just sleek and stylish, they are they are also more efficient, safer and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most sought-after electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. These hobs are designed with sleek glazed finishes, and have an easy surface to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also typically equipped with a power boost feature that allows you to increase the temperature of your stove for a short period of time.

Another electric hob that is suitable for modern homes is an induction hob. Unlike traditional gas and electric plate hobs, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. This means that they are more energy efficient and have precise temperature control. However, they require a specific kind of pan to work with them and can be costly to install.

Glass hobs with gas are a great alternative for modern homes. It features a burner beneath a flat glass layer, similar to a standard gas stove. However it's heatproof and Ovensandhobs.Uk shatterproof, so it's much easier to clean than tempered glass. Many of these hobs come with the "hot surface indicator" that alerts you to the heat.

While gas hobs remain an option for many home cooks, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and can take an extended time to heat up and cool off. Electric hobs, on other hand, are more efficient in energy use and are easier to clean.

There are even electric stoves that can be used with LPG gas. This lets you switch between different fuel sources, so you can adjust your cooking to suit your lifestyle. It is important to remember that these stoves will require the installation of a registered gas safe engineer. They also require a dedicated cable of 6mm for your kitchen. These hobs are not suitable for those who have pacemakers since the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Hobs with induction

Under the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils which run an alternating electrical current. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the hob the coils generate magnetic fields that directly heat the pan instead of heating a surface of the worktop or a heated plate. Induction hobs are energy efficient, as they don't squander heat.

There are many models of induction stoves, from the basic entry-level ones with a single zone marked by rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction stoves that can have up to six zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked simultaneously within a flex area. Some of these models have the ability to control the temperature using a slider that's similar to the iPhone. You can choose the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar in the middle.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, but they are thought to be more energy efficient over the long term because they heat up quicker and have a smaller area to heat up which could help you save on energy bills. They cool quicker and have a safer design without hot plates. This makes them perfect for families that have children or elderly people. However, they do create an electric force that could cause interference with certain medical devices such as pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

Like all electric hobs, you'll have to keep your induction hob clean regularly because food and debris could build up over time. You can use a standard oven cleaner, or you can purchase a specialist cleaner to keep your hob clean and in good shape for longer. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning product or scratching pads on your induction stove since they could scratch the surface.
