Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?
Oven hobs are at the heart of a kitchen and there are many different options to choose from. We offer a range of cooking ring sizes from four to six. Some come with additional features, such as pan supports.
They can heat up quickly and cool down quickly and have a uniform temperatures on the cooking surface. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to control.
Gas Hobs
A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings and a grate that pots and pans are placed on. They heat up quickly and provide precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide range of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are generally cheaper than electric options, as they use natural gas as their source.
They are available in a broad range of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give cabinets a modern and sleek design that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They are prone to scorching and scratches, so you should take extra care to clean them.
Regular cleaning is crucial to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if 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 scrub gently. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to remove staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface.
Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are appliances that stand on their own, gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can be placed on a separate base, which means they are easy to move when you change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot work and a professional installation to be installed in your kitchen.
Gas hobs can be found in a range of finishes. From the classic black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. Some are available in stunning colours such as green or blue to add personality to your kitchen.
Gas hobs are a secure and reliable choice that has been in use for many years. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat evenly. To prevent any accidents, it is essential to adhere to safety regulations and ensure proper ventilation.
Gas hobs also come with a flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame goes out. This prevents any accidental burns or explosions.
Ceramic Hobs
A ceramic hob has a sleek, modern appearance and is relatively easy to heat up and clean. They come in a range of styles, from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's a design to suit most kitchens. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that turn off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can lower the chance of burns and is especially beneficial if your children are still young.
However the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be susceptible to chips and scratches. It's even more so when you drag the pans across rather than lifting them by their handles. We recommend that you exercise caution when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also advise against using magnetic or metallic cookware on a ceramic hob as it can cause damage to the surface.
Another disadvantage of a ceramic stove is that it takes longer than gas or induction to cool down. This can be a problem if you are working in a busy, crowded kitchen or want to swiftly switch between cooking zones to another. However numerous manufacturers have been working on this and now offer a range of hobs that reduce cooling time by up to 30 percent.
Hobs Induction
Induction hobs warm up the fastest and are the most efficient choice available. They are extremely clean and safe as they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, however there is a cost to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other options.
Induction Hobs
Induction hobs have become a popular choice for kitchen renovations. They are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan, rather than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.
In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils that an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed on the cooking surface. You can cook more efficiently since the pan doesn't lose heat.
A lot of induction hobs have an array of features, so you'll surely find one to suit your style. If you're looking for something simple to use, select a model with an LCD display that shows the pan's location in all its zones. You can then touch the display to launch an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs have 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 because they consume less electricity and produce no residual heat. However, since they generate magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near them.
We recommend choosing a premium induction cooker that includes an Ovens & Hobs extractor. This will remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a large variety of cooking utensils. You'll also get the best price for your money if choose one with dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pans.
Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a good choice if you want an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to hard-wearing staining. This coating guards against chips, scratches and stains. According to the manufacturer it is five times more durable than their conventional ceramic coating. To get rid of any food residues, you can employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrubbing pads. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents which could scratch the ceramic surface.
Electric Hobs
Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are elegant and easily fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating makes them a great option for busy families.
Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, do not have the flame. Instead, they employ an element that is able to rise through ceramic glass to cook food directly. They are also less expensive to run as they can be shut off when not in use - saving you money on energy costs.
It is important to keep in mind that not all hobs have the same features. Certain hobs are more sophisticated, with features like automatic safety shutdown and a digital display which clearly displays the temperature and power levels and cooking time. Some models have an enhancement feature that boosts the performance and speed of the element.
Electric hobs are also much easier to clean due to their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters can simply be wiped away, meaning your hob will stay in good condition for longer.
Electric hobs are an excellent choice for families. However when you wear pacemakers, you are not able to use this kind of hob since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a better option for those who require a compatible cookware, which you can buy from our range of kitchen appliances.
