Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen and there are a variety of options available. We offer a range of cooking ring sizes from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features such as pan supports.

They cool and heat quickly, with a consistent temperature for the cooking surface. Often favoured by professional chefs and are easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A well-liked choice, gas hobs feature burner rings and a grate on which pots and pans are placed on. They heat quickly and offer precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking methods from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric ones since they are powered by a natural gas supply.

They're available in a vast selection of finishes, including ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes give the cabinets a modern and sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. However, they are prone to scorching and scratching which is why it's essential to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. To get a more thorough clean, you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. You can also make a mild paste out of baking soda and use it to remove stubborn stain without damaging the surface.

Built-in gas hobs offer seamless design, which is different from traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances. They can also be placed on a stand-alone base, making them simple to move in case you move home or change your kitchen layout. Gas hobs require a lot work and professional installation in order to be installed in your kitchen.

As with other types of cooktops, gas hobs are available with a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional black and white to modern glossy glass. Some are available in stunning colours like green or blue to add a touch of personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been around for many years and are a safe, reliable option. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid any accidents, it is essential to follow safety guidelines and ensure proper ventilation.

Another safety benefit of gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply when the burner's flame is gone. This is to prevent accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a 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 like rectangles and squares. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Many also have residual heat indicators that turn off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can lower the risk of burns, and is particularly useful if your children are still young.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. It's more likely to happen if you drag the pans across instead of lifting them using their handles. We suggest that you take extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob and oven. We also recommend to avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This can be a nuisance especially in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking areas. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer an array of hobs that can reduce their cooling time by as much as 30 percent.

Hobs induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs and ovens are the quickest to heat up and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe as they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, however there's a price to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other alternatives.

Induction Hobs

A popular option for kitchen remodeling, induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic/glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.

In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently since there's no heat loss from the pan itself.

There's an induction stove that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something simple to operate, you could opt for a model with a full touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan in each of its zones. You can then touch the display to open a comprehensive operating menu and change the power setting or the timer. Certain induction hobs come pre-programmed with settings that are suited to certain recipes or food kinds. This is an excellent way to save time when cooking.

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

We recommend that you select a top induction stove with an integrated extractor. This eliminates smoke, steam and odours from the air when you cook, which means it can be used with a larger selection of cooking equipment. You'll also get the best oven value for your money if you opt for Oven Hob dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to make room for larger pans.

If you're looking for a durable hob that is resistant to tough stains, try models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coat. This layer is five times more durable than the standard ceramic coating and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. You should still employ a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of food residue that has been burned on however, avoid any cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are sleek and can easily be fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them an ideal choice for busy families.

Electric hobs, unlike gas, do not have a flame. Instead, they employ an element that rises up through ceramic glass to cook food directly. They're also more cost-effective to run since they can be shut off when not in use, saving your money on energy bills.

It's important to note that not all stoves have the same features. Certain hobs are more modern equipped with features like an automatic safety shut-off, a digital display, which clearly shows the temperature and power levels and cooking time. Certain models also come with the ability to boost the speed of the element to provide extra power.

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

Although these features make electric hobs an excellent choice for families, it's important to keep in mind that if you have a pacemaker installed, it is not possible to use this kind of cooker as its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device. Induction hobs are a great alternative for those who need to use their devices with a compatible cookware set that can be bought from our tested and tried range of kitchen equipment.
