They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques including boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric options since they are powered by a natural gas supply.

However, they can be susceptible to scratching and scorching, so it's important to be extra cautious when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning will help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially crucial if you have a more traditional freestanding model. For a deeper clean, you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern design. They are also easy to clean and warm up. There are many designs to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that shut off the area when it's too hot to touch. This can lower the risk of burns, and is especially useful for children who are young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to chips and scratches. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pans across instead of lifting them by their handles. We suggest that you use extra care when handling and moving your cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend to avoid using metal or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This can be a hassle if you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking areas. Many manufacturers have streamlined this, and offer a selection that can cut down cooling times by 30 percent.

Hobs induction

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. They are extremely hygienic and safe because they don't retain heat on the cooking areas, however there is a price to pay for these advantages as they can be more expensive than other options.

A popular choice for kitchen remodeling, induction hobs are stylish alternatives to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the ceramic or glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.

Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is passed through them. When a compatible pan is placed in the cooking zone, the coils instantly generate heat through magnetic induction. It is easier to cook because the pan doesn't lose heat.

You can find an induction cooktop that suits your style. If you're looking for something simple to operate, you could choose a model that has a touchscreen that shows the position of the pan on every zone. You can then tap on the display to open a comprehensive operating menu and alter the power setting or timer. Certain induction hobs come pre-programmed with settings to fit certain recipes or food types. This is a great way to save time while cooking.

Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy efficient cooktops, as they do not generate heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, they could interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

We suggest you choose a high-end induction stove with an integrated extractor. This removes steam, smoke and odours from the air while you cook, which means it can be used with a wider range of cookware. You'll also get the best oven value for your money if you opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to accommodate larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are an excellent option for those looking for a sturdy hob that will repel hard-wearing stains.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential element in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. Their sleek appearance means they can fit nicely into any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them an easy choice for busy households.

In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs employ an element that floats through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is on the top. Electric hobs are also more efficient in energy usage, since they can be shut off when they are not in use.

It's important to keep in mind that not all ovens are created equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features like an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display that clearly shows the temperature, power levels, and cooking time. Certain models also come with a boost function that increases the speed of the element to give it extra power.

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