Types of Hobs Oven Hobs can be a wonderful addition to any kitchen. They can blend in with the worktop or can be distinctive. They're also one of the most sought-after styles of cooker as they're simple to use and have modern, sleek design. There are five different types to choose from. Each hob comes with its own distinct style function, design and appearance. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs provide an elegant blend of style and function, sitting flush with the countertop for contemporary design. The hobs work by transferring an electric current through coiled elements under the glass surface. The elements get heated and then transfer the energy to the pan. The flat surface is easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. The drawback is that they're vulnerable to stains, particularly from certain foods or liquids and therefore it is advised to avoid using abrasive cleaners. Electric ceramic hobs can be a good option for those looking to save money but don't need a gas or induction cooktop. They take longer to heat than other types of hobs, and they may not be as efficient in the event that the cooking zones do not match the pans you use. This is because the whole cooking area heats up and can then transfer some of that heat to the pan, wasting some energy. Certain ceramic hobs are prone to overheating. They usually come with residual heat indicators to avoid this. They let you know if the hob remains hot even after you have finished cooking. This is to avoid accidents and avoid accidentally touching the hot surface of the hob. A black ceramic hob could be a great choice when you're looking to add a modern and elegant touch to your home. They're inexpensive and available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit all budgets. Ceramic cooktops are made of a single piece tempered glass, which sits directly on the countertop. This means that they are less costly to repair and easier to install, making them a popular choice for homeowners who want to renovate their homes. To protect yourself from injury and not voiding the warranty, it is important to engage a professional to do repairs and install the product. Gas on Glass Hobs Gas on glass hobs provide the same features as traditional gas stoves but are much cleaner and more appealing visually. The glass's smooth surface is resistant to heat and is clean after every use. They also have durable cast iron pan supports keeping pans and pots safe during cooking. Some models have a flame failure device that will shut off the gas in case the flame is accidentally shut off. This will ensure your kitchen is safe and secure. This kind of hob comes in a variety of finishes from stainless steel to glass. The choice of finish will depend on your aesthetic tastes and how it fits in with the rest of your decor. The sleek design of the cooker create a a beautiful addition to your kitchen. The range of gas-fired glass hobs comes in a variety sizes that range from small four burner models to larger six burner versions with powerful dual flame wok burners. All of them feature stylish dials which are easy to read, and responsive. This makes it simple to adjust the flame's temperature to create a low simmering temperature for sauces, or a high temperature for searing steaks. Some models of our gas on glass hobs are also equipped with advanced features, such as precise temperature adjustment, which guarantees better culinary results. Some include an electronic child lock, timer, and more, allowing you to take advantage of the benefits of a modern cooktop without compromising on safety and security.

Induction hobs are a popular choice for homeowners who are looking for a sleek modern, functional and modern cooktop. The cookware is heated using magnetic induction, which means that the surface of the ceramic glass remains cool. They are easy to clean and they provide instant controlled heat that's evenly distributed. They are also energy-efficient and don't require combustion, helping to reduce carbon emissions. Induction Hobs Like the name suggests, these hobs use induction technology to heat up pans. The coils are placed beneath each cooking zone and, when they are activated by a magnetic field they emit magnetic fields that warm the bottom of any pan made from iron. This saves energy because the oven stays cool until you place a pan on top. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children. Certain induction hobs have the 'flexizone' feature on the left which lets you connect two zones to create a large one. Read Home is perfect for those who cook with larger pans and pots. Some models, such as this WiFi enabled model from Samsung offers more advanced features. For instance, there is a pause function that lowers the temperature after removing your pan. SmartThings lets you control the appliance remotely. You can set alarms, timers and even turn on and off the stove when you are not at home. Another benefit of induction hobs is that they're one of the most energy efficient models on the market. The reason for this is that the heat is produced and held within the pan itself rather than the surface of the cooker's hood. Additionally, they usually shut off faster if the pan is not detected or when the pan is removed which reduces the residual heat. Induction hobs may be a bit more expensive than other types however they can save you money in the long cost of your energy bills because they heat and cool much quicker than ceramic hobs. You'll also get more precise control of temperature with induction hobs and typically can only make use of iron-based pans that are specifically designed for this kind of cooktop. This Hotpoint induction hob has an auto-cook feature that lets you choose from four recipes (boil melt, boil slow cook, melt and keep warm) which will set the best power level for your ingredients. The model features an elegant touchscreen and nine power settings. It also has security features like locking controls and residual heat indicators and auto-shutdown when there is a chance of a spill. Combination Induction and Gas Hobs There is no definitive answer to which type of hob, gas or induction, are better, since every type of cooktop comes with distinct advantages. Gas hobs are a versatile option and provide instant heat while induction cooktops are energy efficiency and precise controls. A hybrid hob permits you to utilize both gas and induction zones at the same time. Hybrid hobs also impress with their sleek, modern look and clean, easy-to-clean surfaces. FUJIOH's hybrid hobs, for instance, are constructed with the highest quality Scott Ceran® ceramic glass – a material specifically designed to stand up to extremely high temperatures and deliver exceptional performance. A major advantage of combination gas and induction hobs is that they permit you to optimise your energy usage in accordance with your cooking requirements which can help you save money on your energy bills. Induction hobs utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware, reducing wasted energy by heating food rather than the kitchen's surface. Induction hobs are safer than gas stoves as they have a cool to touch surface. On the contrary, gas hobs are not as efficient as induction models and may cause a build-up of gases in the air, which could be harmful if inhaled. Fortunately, a lot of gas hobs are equipped with safety features that reduce the chance of burns or accidents, such as automatic shut-off functions and burner grates to prevent the splatters of gas from falling into crevices. A hybrid hob permits you to cook various recipes with different techniques. For example you can cook your vegetables on the gas side while simmering sauces in the induction zone. A majority of hybrid hobs feature bridgeable zones of induction which allow you to connect two zones together into a single zone suitable for larger griddles or pans. Some hobs come with an integrated clock that can assist you in cooking recipes that require precise cooking times. This feature is especially useful when entertaining, as it makes it easier to manage many dishes at a time.
