Types of Hobs

A hob, also referred to as a stovetop in North America, is a cooking appliance that heats pans by using electric power or flames. There are many different types of hobs. You can pick the one that is best suited to your kitchen and style.

Induction hobs have a flat ceramic surface and either four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek design. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters are quickly cleaned. They are fast to heat up and are energy efficient, which can reduce your electricity bill. However, one disadvantage of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow to adjust the temperature and can be a hassle if you're cooking something that requires a quick reduction or an increase in heat.

Electric hobs are made up of a solid surface which is heated from below by electric elements. These elements can be controlled individually using rotary knobs and notched up to the level of power you require. You can utilize the Boost feature to boost the temperature of a specific area. Ceramic hobs also have a very high rate of heat retention, which means they'll stay hot to the touch even after being shut off. It is essential to place ceramic Hobs Oven in a location that is far from any flammable objects and out of reach of children.

The benefit of this type of hob is that it can be installed on a variety worktops such as laminate or solid wood, as well as granite.

However, just like any other appliance, they do need to be installed correctly and connected to the mains power supply, so we recommend hiring a professional electrician to ensure your new hobs are safe to use.

This kind of hob is sensitive to pan sizes and shapes. It is essential to purchase cookware that is exactly the same as the element or is able to fit comfortably into each of the heating zones. If the cookware is not the same size as the element, it won't recognize it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This can cause uneven cooking and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs are sleek and contemporary in look. They are more expensive than electric models, and require professional installation. However they are also more efficient in heating as an entire pot of water can often boil in less than four minutes. This type of hob also is ideal for cooks who need to limit the amount of heat is generated. However, it must be noted that a glass hob can be more vulnerable to damage than stainless steel models and will require cleaning more often, as grease and residue build up tends to stick instead of slipping off.

One of the best examples of a gas-on-glass model is this Bertazzoni hob and oven, which boasts four black monobloc burners with accurate metal control knobs to create an elegant and sophisticated appearance. It also includes an oblong wok ring with 4kW to increase versatility, and dishwasher-proof pan supports that are easier to keep clean.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a great choice for modern homes. Not only do they offer a sleek design that fits in with the rest of your kitchen, but they also provide modern technology that is safer, quicker and more efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.

Ceramic glass hobs are among the most popular electric stoves. They're made with a sleek, glossy finish and an easy-to-clean surface that's resistant to smudges and scratches. They also come with a power booster feature that allows you to increase the heat for a brief period of time.

Another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes is an induction hob and oven. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional electric plates and gas stoves. They are therefore more energy efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. They require a specific type of pan, and can be costly to install.

A gas-on-glass hob is another option that's an excellent option for modern homes. It features a burner beneath an unidirectional glass layer similar to a standard gas stove. However it's shatterproof and heatproof, so it's much easier to clean than the typical glass that is tempered. A lot of these hobs are equipped with a "hot surface indicator" that warns you of the temperature.

While gas hobs are still an option for many home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They also take time to cool down and warm down, and their flame can be difficult to control. Electric hobs on the other side, are more efficient in energy and easier to clean.

Hobs with induction

Beneath the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils that run an electrical current that varies. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the hob the coils generate magnetic fields which directly heat the pan instead of heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are very efficient in terms of energy efficiency, since they don't waste any heat.

There are many different models of induction hob starting from basic ones that have a single cooking zone that is marked with rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction hobs that have up to six zones and allow the cooking of multiple pots at once on a flexible zone.

You can choose the desired temperature by moving your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Some models have preset settings for specific food types or recipes which can help you save time in the kitchen.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, but they are considered to be more energy efficient over the long term since they heat up quicker and have a smaller surface to heat up which could help lower your energy costs. They cool faster, and they are more secure without hot plates. This makes them ideal for families with children or elderly residents. They do, however, produce magnetic forces that can cause interference with certain medical devices such as pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on bigger burners.
