Types of Hob and Oven

A hob and oven is an essential part of many kitchens and is available in a variety of styles. You can even mix varieties such as domino, electric and gas to fit your cooking requirements.

Safety features like child and position controls could be included in the hob. These are designed to prevent children from touching the hob and stop them changing the temperature settings by accident.

Types

In every kitchen, the hob is at the center of the room and can play a huge role in the way your food is executed. There are a number of different kinds of hobs, and the one you choose will be based on what your specific cooking requirements are.

Gas hobs provide a classic option. They are quick to heat up and respond immediately to temperature fluctuations. Professional chefs favor them because they are precise in their control. However, they're not as easy to clean as other hobs and may require a higher degree of maintenance.

Electric hobs are flat ceramic surface that has heated elements beneath and are available in various sizes, with between four and six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element which can be controlled individually by you. It is possible to boil potatoes in one ring, while cooking sausages on another. This type of hob is able to be quicker to heat than gas and provides a child-safe option because the cooking zone only heats up when you place a pan on it.

Traditional ceramic hobs are an extremely convenient alternative to electric and gas and are also a stylish option. They have a smooth, hard-wearing surface which is easy to clean but aren't as fast at responding to temperature changes like other hobs, and may be slower to cool down.

The Domino hob is a space-saving option to electric and gas hobs. It incorporates ovens under the cooking surface. They can be incorporated into smaller kitchens that have little space for installation and are ideal for flats and kitchenettes. They are often cheaper than standard hobs and can be extremely energy efficient however they can be brittle and require more attention than other types of cookers.

Gas

Gas hobs are cooktops equipped with burners that can be easily integrated into the kitchen countertop to give a seamless appearance. Gas hobs are usually powered by LPG or natural gas, but they can also be powered with propane gas. The sleek, modern design could enhance your modular cooking space.

A traditional gas stove is equipped with a number of burners. There are usually four, but there can be as many as six. They are ignited by either an igniter or by turning the knob. The flames are controlled by the valves that can be adjusted in the temperature.

Contrary to this, modern gas hobs with built-in gas are equipped with multi-flame burners that let you control the inner and outer ring of each burner to precisely manage your cooking. They are also much more efficient and more reliable than earlier models.

Traditionally, it was necessary to keep a gas burner lit continuously to ensure the burners were always hot and fuelled. This was to avoid accidents, like accidentally turning on an oven with hob when the stove is still lit by a match or pilot light. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind. They come with a built-in fire failure device that shuts off the burners immediately should the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs need to be checked regularly and cleaned, as well as maintained. The best way to accomplish this is to book an appointment for maintenance with a licensed Gas Safe registered engineer. Not only will they be able to ensure that your appliance is functioning properly, but they can also offer professional advice and guidance on how to prevent any issues in the future.

Electricity

A quality hob is equally important when it comes to creating the perfect kitchen. Refrigerators, worktops, freezers and ovens are the first things that pop up to your mind. The type of hob that you choose will affect the way your kitchen works and how easy it is for you to clean.

Electric hobs are equipped with heating elements that are placed on a smooth, glass surface. The glass surface is typically cleaned using a nonabrasive cleaner. The heating elements are activated when you switch on the hob and can be adjusted to different power levels using a control knob. It may take them some time to warm up, but once they have they have a tendency to offer better and more consistent temperature control. They also have built-in indicators that let you know when a space is being used or hot from cooking.

Typically, these come in four to six different sizes that can be notched up to various levels of power. They are ideal for cookware with a flat base, but aren't the best choice for cast iron pans because they can get hot. Some models come with dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that permit boiling water on one ring while you saute sausages on another. Certain models come with a Boost function that focuses high-temperature elements into one ring. This is helpful for stir-frying, searing meat, or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs differ from normal electric hobs in that they utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware rather than the conventional method of gas flames. This allows them to achieve precise temperatures in a smaller space of time and makes them extremely energy efficient. They also have a cool-to touch surface and flashing heat indicators that let you know that the ring is either in use or still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramic is an element which can be transformed into useful or decorative objects. It is formed by mixing earthen elements, clay powders, water and other elements to an exact shape, and then fired in a very high-temperature oven known as a kiln. Once it's been made, it can then be painted or covered with decorative materials to give it texture and colour.

Ceramic hobs are a beautiful blend of function and form and can be found in any modern kitchen. They operate using radiant heating technology that passes an electric current through coiled components hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. They generate heat when activated. This is transferred to your pan through an infrared system. You can adjust the intensity of the heating by using the knobs or the touch controls.

Some ceramic hobs are dual-ring designs, having one smaller and one larger cooking zone that lets you select the best hob size for your pan. You can also get hobs with booster burners that generate high-powered heat rapidly ideal for searing meat or bringing pans of boiling water to a boil in a short time.

Compared to other types of hobs ceramic cooktops generally take longer to heat up and alter temperature however once they do, they're typically more efficient in terms of energy consumption. There are vented cooktops that incorporate a ventilation system within the cooktop's ceramic, making sure that smoke, steam and cooking smells don't linger in your home.

Induction

The heating elements in hobs with induction are made up of a series of copper wire coils that are placed beneath the surface that generate electromagnets to heat pans sitting on them. The coils stir up free electrons within the base metal of your pan which in turn, distributes heat evenly to your food. The surface of the hob is never hot, and the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones are turned off automatically.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive than other hobs, but they're also faster to heat and consume 30 to 70 percent less energy than ceramic or gas hobs. They're also easier to clean as the hob surface itself doesn't get hot and only the contents of your pan do.

Certain manufacturers offer an induction model that comes with additional features, such as a pause feature that cuts off power to your hob whenever you move away from it, or connect two cooking rings at the same power level to provide greater flexibility. These are sometimes referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They can be more costly than traditional induction models, but they're worth a look when multitasking is important to you.

This induction hob is our favorite. It comes with four large cooking zones as well as a Bridge function and nine power settings, offering you a variety of options for cooks who want to be more adventurous. It did well in our tests with a fast heating speed and precise control when making pancakes. The oven also has a built-in dishwasher and an automatic pan detection feature to make cleaning a lot more simple. There's a small selection of compatible pans, however, and it can't be used to cook using appliances that have magnetic bases. This can be a problem in the event that you have a large amount of non-compatible cookware or only certain pieces are suitable for induction hobs.
