Ceramic hobs are a fantastic choice for modern kitchens, that combine style and function. However, the glossy surface is prone to stains and scratches caused by food and burnt-on cooking residues. To keep your cooktop looking good and working efficiently it is essential to maintain regular cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

The hobs of this style are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled metal components which are hidden beneath the glass surface. They generate heat when they are activated using control knobs. Certain models feature a radiant element, which emits heat through the glass surface. Others use halogen elements, which are far more powerful and can heat the entire surface area in successive pulses, making them particularly suitable for quick cook times.

Some of our ceramic hobs are equipped with advanced safety features, for example, a residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface remains hot to the contact. This prevents burns. Some ceramic hobs are equipped with child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

It is important to use the correct cookware for oven hob your ceramic hob. This will ensure that your pans are flat-bottomed, which ensures even heat distribution and helps prevent hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food. Also, avoid dragging pans across the surface since this could scratch the glass.

We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an 'I Flex' zone. It can accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll require a pan of minimum dimensions of 30cm to register. We also have models with a booster heater for rapid heating in specific zones or pans. This is ideal for searing steak and stir-fry. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off function that shuts off the hob at a predetermined time to avoid overheating. This is a great security feature to have in place to provide peace of mind. This function is activated by pressing 'Power' on the control panel once the appliance has reached its maximum temperature.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves, or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that use flammable natural gas or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) as their fuel. The flame heats the cookware and the air around it which allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob provides added security by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame, eliminating the possibility of burning. This design is elevated and requires special care when using or cleaning the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with a match. Modern models come with an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas flame is lit in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the level of heat. Based on the model, some gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be an issue if you live in an area with a sporadic or unreliable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to avoid leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can guarantee a safe installation and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

While electric and induction hobs are gaining popularity however, there is a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preference and environmental concerns, as well local prices for energy and availability. It is crucial to think about the utility and infrastructure costs before choosing a type.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a favourite for our customers looking for modern and stylish kitchens. They use magnetism to warm the pans rather than heating plates or burning gas underneath. Under the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that create an electric current that alternatingly flows through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on the top of the cooker, the coils detect the magnetic base and induce heat directly into the cooker or pan itself. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and is more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to clean.

As with other modern hobs, induction ones are also designed to be more easy to clean than gas counterparts. A simple wipe using a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking good as new.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the correct cookware. Cast iron, stainless steel and some non-stick pans are all compatible, but they must have an induction-compatible magnetic base. 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 are a variety of induction hobs available, from budget models up to top brands that feature TFT displays with an extensive menu of operating options. When a pan is set on a power zone, the hob will show you its position on the full-color display, and also have an adjustment button or slider which allows you to change the power setting or set an alarm. There are a variety of clever accessories, such as pan sensors that stick to the sides of cookware to communicate with the hob via bluetooth to control the power.

One of our most popular models is an induction cooker with an integrated extractor fan to reduce the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with limited space because it eliminates the need for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency band to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the magnetic density at the relevant frequency. There are no health hazards to be anticipated.

Electric Hobs

The top electric hobs are sleek and designed to fit the majority of kitchen designs. They are a great option for those who prefer the ease of use of control buttons instead of dials and come with many options to fit your cooking requirements. Most of them are made from glass, which is clean and stylish in a black or a white design. Some models have a bridge feature to combine two zones in order to make room for larger pans while others have an extra power boost button that provides additional heat for those who have a difficult task.

Induction hobs are increasing in popularity because they offer a clean and Oven Hob modern aesthetic which can be incorporated into modern kitchen designs. They cook fast and offer a high degree of safety. For example they tend to cool down faster than gas cookers and have a "hot" indicator light that is on to alert you when the cooking zone is hot to the contact. They also are more efficient because the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air around it.

But, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an induction hob - most require a specific power supply that is fitted with the appropriate breakers and cables, so we'd suggest having your electric hob installed by a certified electrician. They can also be quite expensive and you'll need a set of compatible induction pans to benefit the most from them.
