Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are at the heart of a kitchen and there are a variety of options to choose from. We offer a variety of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six, ovens and hobs some with additional features such as pan supports.

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

Gas Hobs

A popular choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as an grate that pots and pans are placed on. They are quick to heat up and have precise temperature control. They also can accommodate a variety of cooking techniques including boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric options because they use natural gas as a source of energy.

They are available in a broad range of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes create an elegant and contemporary look that can be a perfect match for any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to burning and scratching, so it's important to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is crucial to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. For a deeper clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. You can also make a mild baking soda paste and use it to get rid of stubborn stains without damaging the surface.

In contrast to 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 also be placed on a standalone base, making them simple to move if you move home or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot of work and professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

Like other cooktops, gas hobs are available in a variety of finishes, from traditional black and white to contemporary glossy glass. Some even come in stunning green or blue color to add some character to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for many years and are a reliable, safe option. They provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. They also are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is essential to practice proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

Another benefit to gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply when the flame of the burner goes out. This prevents any accidental burns or explosions.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern design. They are also easy to clean and warm up. There are many styles to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat, and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they often have built-in residual heat indicators that shut off the zone if they've been used and will be too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This can reduce the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially beneficial if you have young children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to scratches and chips. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pots across rather than lifting them by their handles. We suggest that you use extra care when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob as this can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This can be an issue if you're working in a bustling, noisy kitchen or wish to quickly change between cooking zones to another. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this and have a variety that can reduce cooling times by 30%.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to get hot and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are extremely clean and safe because they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, but there is a price to pay for these advantages as they can be more expensive than other options.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a fashionable option to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

In the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an alternating electrical current runs through. When a pan that is compatible with the hob is placed on the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. Cooking is more efficient because the pan doesn't lose heat.

There's an induction stove that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that is easy to operate, you could select a model with a touchscreen that displays the location of the pan on every single zone. You can then tap on the display to open the menu for operation that is extensive and change the power setting or timer. Certain induction hobs come pre-programmed with settings to suit specific recipes or food types. This is an excellent way to save time when cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option, as they use less electricity and produce no residual heat. They can interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We recommend you choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has an extractor built-in. This will help remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a wide selection of cooking tools. You'll also get the most value for your money if you opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones together on the left-hand side to make room for larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great choice if you want a durable hob that will resist tough staining. 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 food residues that have been burned, but avoid any cleaners that are abrasive, which can scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric hobs oven

Modern and practical electric hobs are an essential feature of many modern kitchens. Their sleek design means they can fit nicely into any decor, and their efficient heating makes them an easy option for busy households.

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

It's important to be aware that not all hobs are equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, with features such as an automatic safety shut-off and an electronic display that clearly displays the temperature, power levels, and cooking time. Some models also have a boost function that increases the speed of the element for extra power.

Another advantage of an electric hob is its flat surface that makes it cleaner than traditional gas models. Since there are no grates to scrub spills and splatters, they can be easily cleaned, meaning your hob will remain in good condition for longer.

Electric hobs are a fantastic option for families. However when you wear pacemakers, you are not able to make use of this type of stove because its electromagnetic field could interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a better option for those who require an appropriate cookware that you can buy from our selection of kitchen appliances.
