Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

oven and hob hobs are the heart of any kitchen and there are many different choices available. We offer a variety of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six, and some with additional features like pan supports.

They heat and cool quickly and maintain a constant temperature for the cooking surface. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A very popular choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as an grate that cookware and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can also accommodate a variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically more affordable than electric hobs, as they use a natural gas source.

They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes give the cabinets a modern, sleek design that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They can be prone for scratching and scorching and so you must take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is essential to maintaining your hob's pristine condition, especially if are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can take off the grates and burner caps for deeper cleaning, placing them in warm soapy water and gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to remove stubborn staining without damaging the surface.

Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances, built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the countertop of the kitchen, providing a seamless look. They can be positioned on a separate base, which means they are simple to move around when you change the layout of your kitchen. However, building an gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.

Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From the traditional white and black, to the modern glossy glass, they come in a variety of styles. They are available in stunning colors like green or blue to add personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs are a safe and reliable choice that has been in use for a long time. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety rules and follow proper ventilation.

Another advantage of gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply once the burner flame goes out. This prevents accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern design. They are also relatively easy to clean and warm up. They come in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's a design to suit most kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that shut off the zone when it is too hot to touch. This can lower the risk of burns and is especially beneficial when your children are still young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is prone to chips and scratches. This is a bigger issue when you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up with their handles, and we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest against using magnetic or metal cookware on a ceramic hob since this can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs and ovens can take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This is a problem when you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this and have a variety that can reduce cooling times by 30%.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. Induction hobs are extremely hygienic, safe and don't retain any heat in the cooking zone. However they can be costly.

Induction Hobs

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

In the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob are copper coils that an alternating electrical current runs through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a compatible pot or pan is placed on the cooking area. Cooking is more efficient since the pan doesn't lose heat.

There's an induction stove that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something easy to control, you can select a model with a full touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan on every single zone. You can then tap on the display to access a comprehensive operating menu and alter the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food - a great feature to reduce time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs are also thought of as one of the most energy-efficient cooktop options, because they produce no residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

Our recommendation is to choose a top induction cooker with an extractor built-in. This eliminates smoke, steam and odours out of the air while you cook, which means it can be used with a larger selection of cooking equipment. You'll also get the best hob price for your money if select dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to accommodate larger pans.

If you're looking for a durable hob that will withstand staining, you should consider models that have Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This layer is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against stains, scratches, and chips. To remove any burnt-on food residues, you can employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrub pads. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents which could scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. Their sleek appearance means they can fit nicely into any decor and their efficient heating makes them a great option for busy households.

Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, do not use an open flame. Instead, they utilize an element that is able to rise through ceramic glass to cook food directly. They are also less expensive to run, as they can be switched off when not in use - saving you money on energy costs.

It is important to keep in mind that not all stoves have the same features. Some hobs are more advanced, with features like automatic safety shutdown as well as a digital display that clearly displays power levels and temperatures and cooking time. Certain models also include the ability to boost the speed of the element to provide extra power.

Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface which makes it much easier to clean than traditional gas models. With no grates to scrubbing, spillages and splatters are easily cleaned away so that your hob will be in good shape for a longer period of time.

Electric hobs oven are a great choice for families. However should you have pacemakers, you are not able to use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field could interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a great alternative for those who need to use their devices with a cookware set that is compatible available from our tried and tested range of kitchen accessories.
