Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen. There are a variety of options. We have a variety of cooking ring sizes from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features like pan supports. They can heat up and cool down fast, with even temperatures on the cooking surface. Professional chefs typically prefer them due to their being easy to manage. Gas Hobs Gas hobs are a very popular choice. They come with burner rings, and a grates that saucepans and pots rest on. They are quick to heat up and offer precise temperature control. They can also accommodate many cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are generally more affordable than electric hobs, as they use natural gas sources. They're available in a vast variety of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give cabinets a sleek, modern appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to scratching and scorching which is why it's essential to be extra cautious when cleaning them. Regular cleaning is essential to keep your kitchen appliance in perfect condition. This is especially crucial if you have a traditional freestanding model. You can remove the burner caps and grates to clean them more thoroughly, by soaking them in warm soapy water, then gently rubbing. 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 provide an elegant appearance, in contrast to traditional gas stoves that are freestanding appliances. They can also be placed on a stand-alone base, making them easy to move if you move house or 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 variety of finishes. From the traditional black and white, to the modern glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. Some come in stunning colours like blue or green to add a touch of personality to your kitchen. Gas hobs are a secure and reliable choice that has been used for decades. They offer precise temperature control as well as evenly distributed heat. They are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid accidents, it is essential to adhere to safety regulations and ensure proper ventilation. Gas hobs also come with an automatic flame failure mechanism that will shut off the gas when the flame is out. This helps prevent accidental burns or explosions. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is relatively easy to warm up and clean. They come in a range of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's a design that's suitable for every kitchen. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they often have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the zone if it's been used and becomes too hot to touch or clean in only a few minutes. This can reduce the risk of burns and is especially useful if your children are still young. However, ovensandhobs of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to scratches and chips. It's even more so if you drag the pans across the surface instead of lifting them by their handles. We suggest that you take extra care when moving and handling your cookware on and off the hob. We also advise against using magnetic or metallic cookware on a ceramic cooktop as this can damage the surface. Another disadvantage of a ceramic hob is that it may take longer than induction or gas hobs to cool down. This can be an issue if you're working in a busy, crowded kitchen or want to quickly switch from one cooking area to another. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this issue and are now offering various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30 percent. Induction Hobs Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient option on the market. They are extremely clean and safe since they don't retain heat on the cooking zones, but there's a price to pay for these advantages as they can be more expensive than other options. Induction Hobs A popular option for kitchen remodeling, induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic or glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean. In the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surfaces of an induction hob are copper coils which an alternating electrical current flows through. When a pan that is compatible with the hob is placed on the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat through magnetic induction. This lets you cook more efficiently as there's no heat loss from the pan itself. You can find an induction cooktop that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something easy to operate, you could select a model with a touchscreen that shows the position of the pan on each of its zones. When you tap on the display, you can access a detailed menu of operation, altering the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or types of food – a great feature to reduce time and effort while cooking. Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option, as they use less electricity and produce no heat that remains. They can interfere with medical devices like pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields. Our recommendation is to choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has an extractor built-in. This removes steam, smoke and odours from the air while you cook, meaning it can be used with a wider selection of cooking equipment. Choose a model that has the dual flex zone. This allows you to connect two zones on the left to accommodate larger pots. If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that is resistant to hard-wearing stains, consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. The coating is five times stronger than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains, and chips. To get rid of any food residues, you can make use of a nonabrasive cleaning product or scrub pads. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents which could scratch the surface of the ceramic. Electric Hobs Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. Their sleek appearance allows them to blend seamlessly in any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy households. Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs employ an element that floats through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient as they can be turned off when not in use. It's important to remember that not all hobs have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features like an automatic safety shut-off and an electronic display that clearly shows power levels, temperatures and cooking time. Certain models also come with a boost function that increases the speed of the element to provide more power. Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. There are no grates to scrub spills and splatters are easily cleaned away, meaning your hob will be in good condition for longer. Electric hobs are a great choice for families. However when you wear a pacemaker you cannot use this type of hob since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a better option for those who wish to use their devices with a compatible cookware set available from our tried and tested range of kitchen equipment.
