Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Hobs in the oven are the center of any kitchen and there are a variety of options available. We have a range of cooking rings from four to six, and some with additional features such as pan supports.

They heat up and cool down quickly and have a uniform temperature of the cooking surface. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and are easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A popular option, gas hobs come with burner rings and a grate on which pots and pans sit on. They heat up quickly and have precise temperature control. They are also able to accommodate a variety of cooking techniques including boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric hobs since they are powered by natural gas sources.

They are available in various finishes, including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes create modern and sleek appearance that will complement any kitchen design. They can be prone for burning and scratches and so you must be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your stove in top condition, particularly if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the grates and burner caps for deeper cleaning, soaking them in warm soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to remove stain that is stubborn without harming the surface.

Built-in gas stoves give a seamless appearance, unlike traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances. They can also be installed on a stand-alone base, making them simple to move if you move home or change your kitchen layout. Gas hobs require a lot of work and a professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

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

Gas hobs have been in use for decades and are a reliable, safe option. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. To prevent any accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety regulations and follow proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also feature an automatic flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame goes out. This can prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern look. They are also easy to clean and warm up. There are a myriad of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes such as rectangles and squares. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use and they often feature built in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone when it's been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This reduces the chance of burns and is particularly useful for children who are young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to scratches and chips. It is worse if you drag the pans across rather than lifting them with their handles. We suggest that you take extra care when moving and handling your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend that you avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs since they can damage the surface.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic hob is that it may take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This could be a problem if you are working in a packed kitchen or need to quickly switch from one cooking zone to another. Numerous manufacturers have made improvements to this and have a variety that can cut cooling time up to 30%.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient option available. Induction hobs are very clean and safe. They don't hold any heat in the cooking area. However they can be costly.

Induction hobs and ovens

A popular option for kitchen renovations Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated and not the ceramic/glass surface. This reduces energy consumption and makes them safer to use. They also cool down more quickly than traditional hobs, meaning they're less difficult to clean.

Under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob are copper coils that an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. This allows you to cook more efficiently because there's no heat loss from the pan itself.

There's an induction stove that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that is easy to control, you might choose a model that has a touchscreen that displays the location of the pan on every zone. Click on the display and you can access a detailed menu of operation, altering the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs have pre-programmed settings to suit certain recipes or food kinds. This is an excellent way to save time when cooking.

Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy efficient cooktops available, since they do not generate heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

Our suggestion is to select an induction hob that is top-quality and has a built-in extractor. This will help remove smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a broad range of cooking utensils. Select one that has dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are an excellent choice if you want a durable hob that will be resistant to tough stains. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their conventional ceramic coating. You should still employ a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of burnt-on food residue and avoid cleaners that are abrasive, which can scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are a crucial feature in many modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are sleek and can easily be integrated into any décor. Their efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy families.

Electric hobs, unlike gas, do not have a flame. Instead, they utilize an element that is able to rise through ceramic glass to cook food directly. Electric hobs are also more efficient in energy usage because they can be shut off when not in use.

It's important to remember that not all stoves have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, with features like automatic safety shutoff and an electronic display that clearly shows the power level, temperature and cooking time. Certain models also come with a boost function that increases the speed of the element for additional power.

Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface that makes it cleaner than traditional gas models. Spills and splatters can be easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.

Electric hobs are a great option for families. However, if you wear a pacemaker you cannot use this type of hob since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device.
