Electric hobs heat up using various 'cooking rings' that can range between four and six power levels. They can take a while to warm up and cool down.

Hobs of different types

Every home is incomplete without the kitchen hob, range cooker, or stovetop (the latter being a complete cooking appliance that can bake and roast food). It is used to cook all manner of food items and, for this reason, it's important that you choose the right type of hob for your cooking style. No matter if you're a seasoned chef who favours precision or a busy family cook looking for speed, there's a kitchen appliance to meet your requirements.

Electric ceramic and induction hobs are frameless, flat design that enhances the modern look of any kitchen. They have either five or four cooking zones, each of which is controlled independently by an individual dial. You can boil potatoes on one ring while sautéing the sausages on a different. This is perfect for busy families. They also are quick to heat up and have a an even surface that makes them easy to wipe clean. However, they can be more expensive than gas hobs and may take longer to cool down.

Gas hobs offer instant heat and allow for precise control, making them popular among chefs. They're also secure with built-in flame failure safety systems that shut off the gas supply in case there's an issue with the gas. However, they're less energy-efficient than induction or electric hobs, and are more difficult to clean because of the burners and pan supports.

Plate hobs have been in use since decades. They have a flat, smooth surface with gas or electric rings that heat up when you turn the dial. They are affordable, but not ideal for cooking with cast-iron and don't distribute heat over the entire surface.

Induction hobs heat your pan directly, instead of heating up the surface of the hob like traditional hobs. They're more secure than gas, as they don't have an open flame, and are easy to wipe clean. They're also more expensive than electric or gas hobs and may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Gas hobs

A gas stove is a popular choice for home cooks due to its speedy heating capability and easy control. There are models that have between two and six burners. Some models have a wok-burner that is designed to cook stir-fries. Some hobs come with a visual indicator that lets you know whether the burner is on or not.

They cook food faster than electric or induction models, making them ideal for busy kitchens. They are less expensive to run than electric hobs if you use electricity generated by renewable energy sources.

You can get freestanding gas hobs or built-in models. If you're planning to redesign your kitchen, freestanding models are the best choice because you can move them easily. They aren't easy to install, and may require you to hack into your finished carpentry. This is not suitable for every home.

Freestanding models have a flat, smooth surface that makes them much easier to clean than other kinds of hobs. Stainless steel trims are often employed, and can be fitted to a variety of kitchen designs. Certain models come with control knobs that are touch-sensitive and some models even have a power boost feature that increases the intensity of the burner by 50%.

Some gas hobs feature an automatic safety system that will shut off the supply of gas once the flame ceases to burn and you're not at risk of burning yourself in the process. They can also be cheaper than electric hobs that operate, and also provide precise temperature control for different cooking methods.

It's important to mention that gas hobs emit carbon dioxide as they burn, which can be an issue for people who are concerned about the environment. There are, however, models that don't produce any CO2 whatsoever when they're in use. These are known as "zero emission gas hobs" or 'eco-friendly gas hobs', they're still equipped with the features that are typical of a traditional gas model however they don't emit CO2 whatsoever while in operation.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a common option for kitchens of every design. They offer a number of advantages over other kinds. Electric hobs are able to heat up and cool down quicker than gas hobs. This means that less residual heat is left when the cookware is removed. They are more evenly heated and are less likely to be prone to hot spots than certain gas models. Being electric, they also require less maintenance and are much cheaper to run than gas.

Most often seen in modern kitchens, ceramic or glass electric hobs provide an elegant and fashionable appearance that's easy to clean and safe to touch. They're also a good choice for families with children as their flat surface is less likely to be damaged by heavy pans. They're also fairly inexpensive to run and can be easily repaired if damaged.

In contrast to traditional plate hobs which use coils to generate heat that is transferred to cookware, ceramic hobs utilize an induction system to directly heat the pan. They are able to heat and cool faster and can be used for any cookware. They can be more expensive than electric plate stoves, however they can save you money in the long run due to their efficiency.

It is crucial to keep your ceramic or tempered glass stove regularly to avoid any issues. For instance cleaning the cooktop using a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended, as well as checking and replacing damaged heating controls, as well as regularly clearing out grates and burner caps. It's also important to watch out for any signs of gas odour as it could indicate a problem with the gas lines or a gas leak. If you suspect this, it's recommended to speak with a professional gas engineer to seek assistance. Always ensure that the hob is cool completely prior to cleaning in order to avoid serious damage. This will help prevent any accidental spills or fires!

Hobs with induction

Modern alternatives to traditional gas and electric hobs, induction cookers make use of a magnetic field to heat the pan instead of the cooktop itself. They are more efficient than other types of stoves, and will help you save energy over the course of time. The cooktop's surface is cool to the touch, and a lot of models have safety features like automatic shutoff to prevent accidents.

Most induction hobs feature a ceramic or glass top and are powered by an alternating current, which creates the magnetic field that is used to heat. Induction-compatible pans need to have an even base and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed over the cooking area. Most hobs feature a "bridging zone" that can connect two zones to allow for larger pans.

Induction hobs are known for their efficiency. Many have reported a reduction in their overall energy bills when they switch to one. Induction hobs are also believed to be safer, as the cooktop's surface remains cool to the touch and reduces the chance of burns. They only heat the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs, which can become very hot and pose a burn hazard.

The majority of induction hobs come with different control types. The most basic is the simple touch bar/power bar at the top of the hob. Others come with an all-inclusive display that displays all the options, and allows you to change power levels and set timers. hobs oven that are induction equipped that are more sophisticated feature many small copper coils grouped tightly together under the cooktop. The magnet beneath each coil detects the time when the pan is placed. The coil is activated when it is the right one for your pan size and shape.

All of our hobs and ovens are available as freestanding models or are seamlessly integrated into kitchen's worktops and units for a an elegant, seamless look.
