Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?
Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen. There are a variety of choices. We offer a range of cooking rings ranging from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features such as pan supports.
They are quick to heat and cool, with a consistent cooking surface temperature. Often favoured by professional chefs and are easy to control.
Gas Hobs
A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate on which cookware and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and permit precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide range of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric ones because they use natural gas as a source of energy.
They're available in a vast selection of finishes, including ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes give them modern and sleek appearance that will complement any kitchen design. They can be prone for scorching and scratches and so you must be extra careful when cleaning them.
Regular cleaning will help keep your kitchen appliance in perfect condition. This is particularly important if you own a more traditional freestanding model. It is possible to remove the burner caps and grates for a deeper clean, by soaking them in warm soapy water and gently rubbing. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to remove tough stains 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 separate base, making them easy to move in case you move home or change the layout of your kitchen. However, building an gas hob into your kitchen will require a lot of construction work and professional installation.
Similar to other types of cooktops, gas hobs are available in a variety of finishes, from traditional white and black to modern glossy glass. Some are available in stunning colours like blue or green to add personality to your kitchen.
Gas hobs are a secure and reliable option that has been in use for many years. They provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. They also are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid any accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety rules and practice proper ventilation.
Another advantage of gas hobs is their flame-failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply when the flame of the burner goes out. This prevents accidental explosions or burns.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is relatively easy to warm up and clean. 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 clean down after use and they often feature built in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone if it's been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This can reduce the chance of burns and is particularly useful for children who are young.
However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to chips and scratches. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pots across rather than lifting them using their handles. We suggest that you use extra care when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic cooktop as it can cause damage to the surface.
Another downside of a ceramic hob is that it takes longer than induction or gas to cool down. This can be a hassle if you're working in a busy kitchen or if you need to quickly switch between cooking areas. Many manufacturers have streamlined this and offer a range that can cut cooling time up to 30 percent.
Hobs induction
The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to heat up and are the most energy-efficient option on the market. They are extremely hygienic and safe because they don't retain heat on the cooking areas, but there is a cost to pay for these benefits as they can be more expensive than other alternatives.
Hobs Induction
Induction hobs are now the most popular choice for kitchen upgrades. They are 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 cool quicker than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.
Under the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob are copper coils that an electrical current that is alternating runs through. When a suitable pan is placed on the cooking area the coils instantly generate heat via magnetic induction. It is easier to cook because the pan doesn't lose heat.
Many induction cooktops come with an array of features, so you'll find one to suit your style. If you're looking for something easy to control, you might choose a model that has an entire touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan on each of its zones. You can then touch the display to open an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops are pre-programmed settings that are suited to certain recipes or food kinds. This is an excellent way to save time while cooking.
Induction hobs are also thought to be the most efficient cooking stove, as they use less electricity and produce no residual heat. However, since they generate magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to stay away from them.
We recommend you choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has an extractor built-in. This will remove smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a wide range of cooking utensils. Select one that has a dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.
Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great choice if you want an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to hard-wearing stains. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times more durable than their standard ceramic coating. It is still recommended to use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to remove food residue that has been burned on, but avoid any abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.
Electric Hobs
Stylish and practical electric hobs are a popular element in modern kitchens. Their sleek hob uk design allows them to blend seamlessly into most decors and their efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.
Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that floats through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is on the top. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use, since they can be turned off when not being used.
It's important to note that not all hobs have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, and come with features like automatic safety shutoff and an LCD display that clearly displays the temperature, power levels and cooking times. Certain models also include an increase function that boosts the speed of the element for additional power.
Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it much easier to clean than a traditional gas model. Spills and splatters are easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.
Electric hobs are a fantastic option for families. However when you wear a pacemaker you cannot use this kind of hob since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device.
