Gas Hobs

A popular option, gas hobs come with burner rings and an grate that pots and pans sit on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide range of cooking methods, from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive than electric ones, as they use natural gas sources.

They are available in a broad variety of finishes that include stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give the cabinets a sleek, modern look that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. However, they are susceptible to scratching and scorching and scratching, so it's crucial to be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning will help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially important if you own a traditional freestanding model. For a more thorough clean you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to get rid of stain that is stubborn without harming the surface.

They can also be mounted on a standalone base, making them simple to move when you move house or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs need a lot of work and professional installation in order to be put in your kitchen.

Like other types of cooktops gas hobs are available with a variety of finishes, from traditional white and black to contemporary glossy glass. Some even come in stunning green or blue color to add some personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for a long time and are a safe, reliable option. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. However, it is essential to practice proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid accidents.

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

Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and is surprisingly quick to warm up and clean. They come in a variety of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's one that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators that turn off the area when it's too hot to touch. This can lower the chance of burns and is especially beneficial for children who are young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is prone to scratches and chips. This is more of a issue if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them by their handles, so we recommend being extra careful when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use magnetic or Best Hobs metal cookware on ceramic hobs since they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This is a problem if you're working in a busy kitchen or if you need to quickly switch between cooking areas. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this issue and have now launched various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30 percent.

Induction Hobs

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to heat up and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe because they don't keep heat in the cooking areas, but there is a price to pay for these benefits as they can be more expensive than other options.

Hobs Induction

A popular option for kitchen remodeling, induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This means that they consume less energy and makes them safer to use. They also cool down faster than traditional hobs, so they're easier to clean.

In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface of an induction cooker are copper coils through which an alternating electrical current flows through. When a pan that is compatible with the hob is placed on the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently because there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.

Many induction hobs come with many features, so you'll be able to find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something that is easy to control, you can choose a model that has a touchscreen that shows the position of the pan in each of its zones. You can then tap on the display to open an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or the timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types - a great feature to cut down on time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option because they consume less power and produce no residual heat. They could interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We recommend you choose a top induction cooker with an integrated extractor. It removes smoke, steam and odours from the air as you cook, so it can be used with a larger choice of cookerware. You'll also get better value for money if you select dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones together on the left hand side to accommodate larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a good option for those looking for a durable hob that will repel tough staining. The coating is five times stronger than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains and chips. You should still use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to remove food residue that has been burned on, but avoid any cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric hobs and ovens

Elegant and practical electric hobs are a staple feature in many modern kitchens. They are elegant and easily integrated into any décor. Their efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy families.

Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs employ an element that rises through the ceramic glass and directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. They are also less expensive to run since they can be switched off when not in use - saving you money on energy bills.

However, it's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Some hobs are more advanced, with features like automatic safety shutdown and a digital display which clearly displays the temperature and power levels, as well as cooking time. Some models come with an enhancement feature that boosts the power and speed of the appliance.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean due to their flat surface. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.

Although these features make electric hobs an ideal choice for families, you should bear in mind that if have a pacemaker installed, you shouldn't use this type of cooker as its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device.
