Types of Hobs Oven Hobs are a crucial kitchen appliance that can either blend with the worktop or stand out as a feature. They are also among the most popular kinds of cookers since they're easy-to-use and have modern design. There are five distinct types to choose from. Each one has its own distinct design and function. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs provide an elegant blend of style and function, sitting flush with the counter for contemporary design. They work by passing electric currents through coiled elements beneath the glass surface. It will then heat up and transfer the energy to the pan. Spills and splatters are easily cleaned using the flat surface. They are easily stained, especially if you use certain liquids or foods. It's best to avoid abrasive cleaning products. Electric ceramic hobs are a fantastic option for those who want to save money or who do not want to invest in an induction or gas cooktop. They take longer to heat than other kinds of hobs and are less efficient if the cooking zones don't coincide with your pans. This is due to the fact that the entire cooking zone heats up, and could then transfer some of the heat to the pan, which wastes some energy. Certain ceramic hobs are prone to overheating. To prevent this from happening, they are often equipped with built-in residual heat indicators that tell you whether the hob is hot even after you've cooked. This is designed to minimize accidents and help you avoid getting burned by touching a hot hob surface. A black ceramic stove can be a great option if you want to add a modern and elegant look to your home. They're cheap and come in a wide range of sizes and styles to fit all budgets. In contrast to traditional gas hobs which require a variety of components to work properly ceramic cooktops are constructed of a single piece of glass that is tempered and sits directly on top of the countertop. They are also less difficult to install and cost less to fix, which makes them a popular option for homeowners who want to renovate their homes. To protect yourself from injury and not voiding the warranty, it's essential to hire an expert to make repairs and install the product. Gas on Glass Hobs Gas on glass hobs provide the same functions as traditional gas stoves, but are much cleaner and more appealing visually. The smooth, tempered surface is heat-resistant and easily cleaned after every use. Durable cast iron pan supports help keep pots and pans in place during cooking. Certain models also have an alarm for a failed flame which turns off the gas supply in case the flame fails to extinguish, ensuring your kitchen remains safe and secure. The type of hob you choose to use is available in a variety of finishes, ranging from stainless steel to black glass. The finish you choose will depend on your aesthetic preferences and how it will fit into your kitchen design. The sleek lines of the cooker create a an elegant addition to your kitchen. Our collection of glass-on gas hobs includes a variety of sizes, ranging from small four burner versions to larger six burner models with powerful dual-flame wok burners. They all feature elegant dials that are easy to read and responsive, making it simple to adjust the temperature of the flame to produce an even simmer for sauces or a high heat for searing steaks. Certain models of our gas-on-glass hobs are also equipped with advanced features, including precise temperature adjustment, which guarantees better culinary outcomes. Some models come with an electronic timer, a child lock and other features that allow you to take advantage of the advantages of modern cooktops, without risking safety or security. Glass provides a contemporary and sophisticated design to any kitchen with a wide range of colours and finishes to pick from. If you prefer matte, metallic or mirror, we have glass that will fit with the design of your kitchen. Our range also has hobs that come with a wide selection of edges and shapes to give your kitchen a modern contemporary look. Induction hobs are a common option for homeowners who want a sleek, modern and functional cooktop in their kitchen. The cookware is heated using magnetic induction, which means the ceramic glass surface remains cool. They are easy to clean and they provide instant controlled heat that's evenly dispersed. They're also energy efficient and don't require combustion, which helps to reduce your carbon footprint. Induction Hobs These hobs heat pans using induction technology, as their name suggests. 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 of iron. This helps to save energy since the stove remains cool until the pan is placed on top, and also makes these types of hobs less difficult to clean and safer for young children. Some induction hobs will come with the 'flexizone' feature on the left that allows you to connect two zones to create a large one – perfect for those who use larger pans and pots. Some models, like this model with WiFi connectivity from Samsung provide more advanced features like a pause function that will lower the temperature when you remove the pan. SmartThings allows you to control the appliance remotely. You can set up alarms, timers and even turn on and off the oven when you're not home. Another great feature of induction hobs is that they are one of the most energy efficient models on the market. This is due to the fact that heat is created and stored in the pan itself, rather than on the surface of the cooker's hood. Additionally, they usually close more quickly when no pan is detected or when the pan is removed which reduces the residual heat. Induction hobs are more expensive than other types of electric hobs however they do usually save you money on your energy bills in the long run because they are able to heat up and cool down much quicker than traditional ceramic hobs. You also have more precise control of temperature with induction hobs and are typically only able to use specific iron-based pans which are specifically designed for this kind of cooktop. This Hotpoint induction stove has a handy automatic cook function. You can choose from four preset cooking recipes (boiling, melting slow cooking, slow cooking and keeping warm) that will automatically determine the best power level for the ingredients you're using. This model has a sleek touchscreen and nine power settings. It also comes with safety features such as lockable controls and residual heat indicators and auto-shutdown in the event of a spill. Combination Induction and Gas Hobs There is no clear answer when it comes to which type of hob, gas or induction, are superior, as each cooktop type has distinct advantages. Gas hobs offer instant heat and are versatile with all kinds of cookware, while induction hobs are energy efficient and precise control. A hybrid hob lets you to make use of both gas and induction zones simultaneously. Hybrid hobs also stand out with their sleek, modern design and clean-up-friendly surfaces. Hybrid hobs from FUJIOH for example, are made with exceptional Scott Ceran® ceramic glass, a material that has been that is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and deliver superior performance. Gas stoves and induction stoves are excellent because they allow you to optimize your energy usage depending on the food you cook, thereby saving money on your energy bill. Induction hobs are able to heat directly the cookware by using electromagnetic fields, saving energy by heating food instead of the kitchen's surface. In addition, most induction hobs have a cool-to-touch surface and are safer than gas stoves because there isn't any open flame or an element that is flammable. Gas hobs on the other hand are less efficient than induction models and may cause an accumulation of certain gases that could be harmful if breathed in. Many gas hobs are equipped with safety features to minimize the chance of accidents or burns. They include automatic shut-offs and burner grates that stop splatters falling into crevices. A hybrid hob allows you to cook various recipes using different techniques. For example you can cook vegetables on the gas side while simmering sauces in the induction zone. Additionally many hybrid hobs come with induction zones that are bridgeable, which allows you to connect two zones to one cooking space that is suitable for larger griddles or pans. Some hobs come with a built-in clock to aid in cooking recipes that require precise cooking times. This feature is particularly useful when entertaining since it helps keep track of several dishes at once.
