Types of Hobs
A hob (known as a stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats up pans with flame or electricity. There are several different types of hobs available, so you can pick one that fits your style and kitchen.
Induction hobs feature a flat ceramic cooking surface and have five or four zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are elegant and stylish, and easy to clean.
Ceramic hobs
Ceramic hobs offer an elegant and contemporary look that can really improve the overall look of your kitchen. They have a flat glass ceramic surface that is easy to clean, which means spills and splatters can be quickly cleaned. They heat up quickly and are energy-efficient which means they can cut down on your electricity bill. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they can be slow in changing the temperature, which can be frustrating when cooking something that requires an instant reduction or an increase in heat.
Electric hobs oven utilize plates that are heated by electric elements beneath. The power of each element can be adjusted through rotating knobs. You can use the Boost feature to raise the temperature of a certain area. Ceramic hobs hold heat extremely well, and even after they've been shut off, they will still be hot to the touch. It is essential to place ceramic hobs in a location that is away from items that could ignite and away from children's reach.

This type of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and sizes. You'll need cookware that is either exactly the same size as the element or that will fit comfortably inside the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware isn't the same dimensions as the element, it won't recognise it and will not heat the bottom of the pan. This could result in uneven cooking and make the stove less efficient.
Gas on glass hobs
Glass hobs with gas are sleek and contemporary in appearance. Although they may be more expensive than electric ones and require professional installation, they often take less time to heat up - it's not uncommon for a complete pan of water to be boiling within four minutes or less. This type of stove is a great choice for cooks who need to control the amount of heat that is generated. Glass hobs are more vulnerable to damage and require more frequent cleaning because they are more likely to accumulate grease and residue.

Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is an attractive slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual ring design at the left side of the gas hob provides an inner burner that doubles to increase the distribution of heat and increase the speed of cooking. It also features a handy power level indicator, which assists in regulating the precise temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-set settings, like high settings to sear steaks, and a low one for scrambled egg.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. As opposed to traditional gas and electric plate hobs oven that use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware. This means they are more energy efficient and have precise temperature control. However they require a certain type of pan to function and can be costly to set up.
A gas-on-glass hob is a different option that's a great option for modern homes. Similar to a standard gas hob, it features the burner underneath a layer of flat glass. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, making it much easier to clean than tempering glass. Many of these hobs are equipped with an "hot surface indicator" that warns you of the temperature.
Gas hobs remain a popular choice for a lot of home cooks However, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. The flame can also be difficult to control and can take an extended time to heat up and cool off. However, electric hobs are more efficient in terms of energy consumption and are easier to clean.
For the ultimate in modern efficiency You can even find electric stoves that are compatible with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between different fuel sources, so you'll be able to adapt to your lifestyle. It's important to note that these stoves must be installed by a registered gas safe engineer and require a specific 6mm cable in your kitchen. They're also not suitable for people with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field may cause interference with them.
Hobs with induction
Copper coils conduct an electric current that is alternating beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the hob the coils produce magnetic fields which directly heat the pan instead of heating a surface of the worktop or heated plate. Induction hobs are extremely efficient from an energy standpoint, as there's no residual heat that is wasted.
There are many different models of an induction hob, from basic entry level ones that have one cooking zone that is with rings to more advanced multi-zoned induction hobs that can have up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots simultaneously on one Flex zone.

Certain models can even be programmed with settings for specific recipes or food items which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.
Induction hobs are more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are more efficient in the long run. They heat up faster and have a smaller heating area which could reduce your energy bills. They cool quicker and also are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them perfect for families with elderly or children. However, they do create magnetic forces that can affect certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore essential to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on larger burners.
