Types of [Oven Hob](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/)
A hob is a flat, elevated surface that heats pots and pans. There are various types of hobs available, including gas, electric, and induction.
The features to look for include rotary, touch and control of the position. These allow you to control the heating zones with the click of a button. They also stop them from being tripped over easily especially by children.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs are a fantastic choice for modern kitchens, mixing style and function. However, the glossy surface is prone to scratches and stains caused by food residues and cooking burnt-on stains. Keep your kitchen clean by following regular cleaning and avoidance of using scrubbers or abrasive cleaners is key to keeping it looking good and working efficiently.
Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal elements which are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated by control knobs. Certain models employ a radiant element that emits heat through the surface of the glass. Some models use halogen elements which are more powerful. They can heat the entire surface with successive pulses.
A lot of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface remains hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some ceramic hobs are equipped with child locks to prevent children from accidentally changing the settings.
For maximum performance, it's important to select the right cookware for your ceramic cooktop. It is essential that your pans have flat bottoms since this helps ensure even heating and prevents hot spots which can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging your pans across the surface, as this can scratch the tempered-glass.
To allow for greater flexibility in cooking it is recommended to use ceramic hobs with dual ring design or I-Flex's zone that can accommodate either two pots in a single or one large pan (you'll require a minimum 30cm sized pan for it to register). We also have models with a booster heater for rapid heating in specific zones or pans. This is great for stir-fry or searing steak. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off function that turns off the hob at a set time to prevent overheating. This is a fantastic security feature that gives you peace of peace of. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel if you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a set period of time.
Gas Hobs
A gas hob, sometimes known as gas stove or gas cooker, is an appliance in the kitchen that uses the flammable natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame heats both the cookware and the surrounding air. This allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob adds safety because it prevents the body from coming into contact with the flame, thus reducing the possibility of burning. This elevated design requires extra care when using or cleaning the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.
A traditional gas hob is ignited by matches or a pilot light and the burners are manually controlled. Modern models have an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas flame is lit automatically. The flame can then be controlled through the control knobs making it easy to adjust the level of heat according to your needs. Based on the model, certain gas hobs are also equipped with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.
Gas hobs require a continuous gas supply, which could be problematic when you live in a place with an unreliable or erratic supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance in order to prevent leaks and corrosion. For these reasons, it is crucial to install a gas hob only after consulting with a Gas Safe Registered fitter who can provide an expert installation and adhere to strict safety guidelines.
Gas appliances are still popular in certain regions, despite the fact that electric and induction hobs have gained in popularity. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, in addition to local energy prices and availability. It is important to consider the cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a style.
Hobs induction
Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans, not an oven or a plate that is heated or burning gas beneath. Under the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and cook the pan or pot directly. This is much more efficient than traditional gas hobs, and is more energy efficient, too. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to touch and easy to clean.
Like other types of modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than gas counterparts. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking good as new.
Induction cooking requires you to use the right cookware. All cookware that include cast iron, stainless steel and non-stick ones, need a base that is magnetic. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.
A range of induction stoves is available, from budget models to high-end brands with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob will show the pan's location on the full-colour display when it is placed in an area of power. A control button or slider allows you to change the power setting or set a timer. There are a variety of clever accessories, including pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware, allowing them to communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.
Induction hobs equipped with a built-in fan reduce smoke, steam and cooking odors. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that indirectly affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference values for the magnetic density for the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be expected.
Electric Hobs
The top electric hobs offer sleek design and are designed to match the majority of kitchen styles. They are perfect for those who prefer touch controls over dials, and come with a wide range of options that can meet your cooking requirements. The majority of these are made of glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in a white or black design. Some models have bridge functions that allow you to connect two zones to make room for larger pans. While others come with an energy boost button to provide an extra amount of heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult.
Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that fits in well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and offer the highest level of security. They tend to cool faster than gas cookers, and they come with an indicator light that stays in place when the cooking area becomes hot to touch. They also are more efficient because the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it.
But, there are a few things to bear in mind when choosing an induction hob - most require a specific power supply configured with the correct breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric hob installed by a licensed electrician. They can also be expensive and you'll require an appropriate set of induction pans to get the most out of them. They are more expensive due to the fact that they consume more energy.
