Types of Oven Hob A hob is an elevated flat surface that is used to heat pans and pots. There are a variety of hobs available, including gas, electric, and induction. Find features such as rotary, touch or position controls. They let you control the heating zones by the touch of a button and prevent them being knocked over easily especially by children. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs offer style and functionality in a modern kitchen. However the glossy surface is susceptible to scratches and stains from food and burnt-on cooking residues. To keep your hob looking good and working efficiently, you should maintain an ongoing cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or a scrubbing pad. The hobs of this style are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components that are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are turned on using control knobs. Certain models employ an element that radiates heat from the surface of the glass. Others use halogen elements, which are more powerful and heat the entire surface area in multiple pulses, which makes them suitable for quick cook times. Many ceramic hobs we sell have advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that alert you when the surface is still hot to the touch, thereby preventing burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings. It is essential to select the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that the pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that can result in food being overcooked or undercooked. Avoid dragging pans across the surface, as this could scratch the glass tempered. For greater flexibility when cooking we recommend ceramic hobs that feature dual ring designs or an 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate either two single pots or one large pan (you'll need to have at least a 30cm-wide pan to allow it to register). There are models that have booster heaters for quick heating in specific areas or pans. This is ideal for searing steak and stir-fry. We also have some models that have an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a specified time to prevent it from overheating. This is a great security feature that can give you peace of assurance. This function is usually activated by pressing the 'Power button' on the control panel if you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and there is no activity for a predetermined period of time. Gas Hobs Gas hobs, also referred to as gas stoves or cookers are kitchen appliances that make use of natural gas that is flammable, or LPG, which is liquefied. (LPG) for their fuel. The flame is used to heat both the cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which offers extra safety by preventing the body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the danger of burning. This design is elevated and requires particular attention when cleaning or using the hob to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners. The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with matches. Modern models come with an automatic igniter, which ensures that the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled through the control knobs which makes it easy to alter the heat level as needed. Certain gas hobs have multiple flame burners, dependent on the model. This gives you more cooking flexibility. Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be an issue when you live in a region with an unreliable or erratic supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance to prevent corrosion and leaks. Because of this, it is essential to install a gas stove only after consulting with a Gas Safe registered fitter who can provide expert installation and follow strict safety protocols. While electric and induction hobs are becoming more popular, there is still a substantial market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preferences and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the kitchen's utility and infrastructure costs before selecting a kitchen style. Hobs Induction Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers looking for modern and stylish kitchens. They use magnetism to warm the pans, not heating plates or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic surface. A current of alternating electricity is pushed through them. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils are able to detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pot or the pan itself. This is more efficient than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in energy usage. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to feel and easy to clean. Induction hobs are designed to be less difficult than gas counterparts to clean. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new. Induction cooking requires you to make use of the correct cookware. All pans that include cast iron stainless steel, non-stick, must have a base that is magnetic. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible. There is a wide selection of induction hobs to choose from starting from the cheapest models to top brands that feature TFT displays and a full menu of operation. If a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will display its location on the full-color display. It also has the option of a slider or control button enabling you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are many innovative accessories, such as pan sensors that stick to the sides of cookware and communicate with the hob using bluetooth to control the power. One of our most popular models is an induction hob which comes with an integrated extractor fan that helps to reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with small space as it removes the need for a separate extractor fan. Similar to other induction hobs it makes use of magnetic fields that operate within the kilohertz range to generate the heat that is absorbed by the contents of your pan. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference value for the magnetic density at the frequency at which it operates. There are no health hazards to be expected. Electric Hobs The top electric hobs offer an elegant look and are designed to fit most kitchen designs. They are ideal for those who prefer touch controls to dials, and they come with a wide range of options to meet your cooking needs. The majority of these are made from glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in white or black design. Some models feature the option of combining two zones in order to fit larger pans while others have an extra power boost button that can provide extra heat for difficult tasks. Induction hobs have become increasingly popular due to their contemporary and clean look that fits in well with the modern designs of kitchens. They also cook quickly and offer a high level of safety. For instance, they tend to cool down faster than gas cookers. hob and oven have a “hot” indicator light that stays on to inform you that the cooking area is hot to the contact. They are also more efficient since the magnetic field only generates heat inside the pan which means you're not heating the air around it. There are some things to consider when choosing an electric hob. Most require an electric power source that is paired with the right cables and breakers. We recommend having it installed by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs can be expensive, and you will need to purchase a set compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They may also be more expensive to operate because they generally consume more energy than other types of hobs.
