Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a very popular choice. They have burner rings, and a grates that pots and saucepans rest on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric hobs since they are powered by a natural gas supply.

They are available in various finishes, including stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give the cabinets a modern and sleek look that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scratching and scorching and so you must take extra care to clean them.

Regular cleaning is essential to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if have one of the more traditional freestanding models. It is possible to remove the grates and burner caps to clean them more thoroughly, by taking them out of the soapy water, then gently rubbing. Alternatively, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to clean tough stains without harming the surface.

Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances, gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can also be mounted on a stand-alone base, making them simple to move in case you move home or change your kitchen layout. However, building an gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern design. They are also easy to clean and warm up. They come in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square designs, so there's a style that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators built in which shut off the area when it's too hot to touch. This reduces the risk of accidental burns and is particularly beneficial if you have young children.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is prone to scratches and chips. It's even more so when you drag the pots across rather than lifting them with their handles. We recommend that you exercise caution when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs as they can damage the surface.

A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be a hassle if you're working in a busy kitchen or if you want to quickly switch between cooking areas. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer a range of hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30%.

Hobs induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to warm up and are the most energy-efficient option on the market. Induction hobs are extremely clean and safe. They don't hold any heat on the cooking zone. However, they can be expensive.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are an increasingly popular choice for kitchen upgrades. They're a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They also cool faster than traditional hobs, which means they're less difficult to clean.

Under the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction cooker are copper coils that an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed on the cooking surface. This lets you cook more efficiently as there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.

Many induction cooktops come with many features, so you'll surely find one that is perfect for your needs. If you're looking for something simple to operate, you could select a model with a full touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan in every single zone. Tap on the display and you'll be able to access a comprehensive menu of operation, altering the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food types - a great feature to reduce time and effort when you're cooking.

Induction hobs are also thought to be the most energy efficient cooking options, as they use less power and produce no heat that remains. However, since they generate magnetic fields, they could interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's recommended to avoid using them near them.

Our suggestion is to select a premium induction hob with an integrated extractor. This removes steam, smoke and odours out of the air while you cook, which means it can be used with a wider choice of cookerware. Choose a model that has dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

If you're looking for a durable hob that is resistant to staining, you should consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This layer is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. You should still make use of a non-abrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pad for removing burnt-on food residue, but avoid any cleaners that are abrasive, which can scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Elegant and practical electric hobs are a staple feature of many modern kitchens. Their sleek design allows them to blend seamlessly into most decors and their energy-efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.

Electric hobs, unlike gas, do not use an open flame. Instead, they use an element that is able to rise through ceramic glass to heat the food directly. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient, since they can be turned off when not in use.

It is important to keep in mind that not all stoves have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features such as automatic safety shutoff and an electronic display that clearly displays the temperature, power levels and cooking time. Some models come with an increase feature that increases the performance and speed of the element.

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