Ovens and hobs add an elegant, modern look to any kitchen and can be easily integrated into your kitchen worktops and units. Explore our complete range of ovens and hobs today.

Electric hobs heat up using different 'cooking rings' that can have anywhere from four to six power levels. They can take a while to get warm and cool down.

Hobs in various types

The stove top, kitchen hob or range cooker (the latter being the whole cooking appliance that you roast and bake your food in) is an essential part of every home. It is used for a variety of cooking techniques, which is why it's important to choose the right hob for you. There is a hob for everyone, no matter if you're a pro chef who is a perfectionist or a busy home cook who wants speed.

Induction and electric ceramic hobs oven have a flat, frameless design that adds to the modern look of any kitchen. Each of the five or four zones can be controlled using an individual dial. This allows you to choose of boiling potatoes on one ring and sautéing sausages on a different ring which is ideal for busy families. They heat quickly, and their smooth surface makes them easy to clean. However, they are more expensive than gas hobs and may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Gas hobs offer instant heat and provide precise control, making them popular with chefs. They are also safe, with built-in flame failure safety systems that shut off gas flow if there is an issue with the gas. They can be less efficient than electric or induction hobs, and are more difficult to clean due the fact of the pan's supports and stove burners.

Plate hobs are the most popular type of hob and have been around for a long time. They feature a flat top that is fitted with gas or electric rings that heat when you turn the dial. They're inexpensive, but they're not the best choice for cast iron cookware and don't distribute heat evenly across the whole surface.

Induction hobs utilize an electromagnetic field to directly heat your pan - instead of heating the surface like traditional hobs. They are safer as there's no open flame. They're also simple to clean. They're also more expensive than gas or electric hobs and can take longer to warm up and cool down.

Gas hobs

Gas hobs are a common choice for home cooks because of their fast heating capabilities as well as their ease of control. There are models that have between two and six burners. Some models include a wok-burner for stir-frying cooking. Others have a visual flame indicator that indicates whether the hob is on or off.

They heat food quicker than induction or electric models, and are therefore perfect for kitchens that are busy. They are cheaper to operate than electric hobs, if you make use of renewable energy sources.

You can get gas hobs that are freestanding or built-in models. If you are planning to renovate your kitchen, freestanding models are the best ovens choice because you can move them easily. However, they can be difficult to install and could require hacking into your final carpentry, which may not be suitable for all homes.

They have a smooth and flat surface, making them easy to clean. They often feature elegant, stainless steel trims that can be incorporated into many kitchen designs. Some models have touchscreen controls, and some even feature the power boost feature, which increases the intensity of the burner by 50%.

Some gas hobs feature an automatic flame failure safety system that stops the flow of gas once the flame goes out and you're not at risk of burning yourself in the process. Gas hobs are less expensive to run than some electric hobs, and they allow for precise temperature control.

Gas hobs emit carbon dioxide when they burn. This can be an issue for eco-conscious consumers. There are models that don't emit CO2 while in use. These 'zero-emission gas hobs or eco-friendly gas stoves', have all the features of a standard gas model while emitting zero CO2.

Electric hobs

A common choice for kitchens of all types electric hobs provide a range of advantages over other types of cookers. For starters, they tend to heat up and cool down quicker than gas hobs, which means less heat remains behind after the cookware is removed. They also heat more evenly and are less likely to have hot spots than some gas models. Electric models are also simpler to maintain and less expensive to operate than gas models.

Ceramic or glass electric hobs are most commonly found in modern kitchens. They have a sleek, stylish look that is easy to clean. They are also safe to touch. Their flat surface also makes them a popular choice for ovens those with children, as they're unlikely to be damaged or crushed by heavy pans. They're also fairly inexpensive to run and can be replaced if damaged.

In contrast to traditional plate hobs that make use of coils to generate heat that is transferred to the cookware, ceramic hobs employ an induction system that heats directly the pan. This means they can heat up and cool down much faster, and can be used with any type of cookware. They're typically more expensive than electric plate hobs however they'll reduce your energy costs in the long run due to their high efficiency and their ability to convert nearly all the electrical energy into usable heat.

Despite their simple design, it's important to maintain your ceramic or glass hob to avoid any issues. For example, cleaning the cooktop with a non-abrasive cleaner is recommended, as is replacing or checking the heating controls, as well as regularly cleaning out the grates and burner caps. Keep an eye out for gas smells, as they could indicate an issue with gas lines or leaks. If you suspect this, it's best to seek out a professional in gas for assistance. Always make sure that the hob is cool completely prior to cleaning it in order to prevent any severe damage. This will also help prevent accidental fires or spills!

Induction hobs

Induction cookers are an innovative alternative to gas and electric hobs. They utilize magnets instead of the cooktop in order to heat the pan. They heat up faster than other stoves and can help you save energy over the course of time. They are also a lot safer to use because the cooktop's surface stays cool to the touch, and many have safety features, such as an automatic shut-off to avoid accidents.

Induction hobs are typically ceramic or glass with an alternating current that creates a magnetic field to heat. A pan that is compatible with induction must have a flat bottom and a steel or iron core. The magnetic field is only activated when the pan is placed in the cooking zone. The majority of hobs have the bridging zone, which can connect two zones to accommodate larger pans.

Induction hobs are known for their efficiency. Many report a reduction in their overall energy bills when they change to one. They are also thought to be more secure since the cooktop's surface remains cool to the edge, reducing the risk of burns, and only heating the pan and its contents. This makes them more suitable for children than gas or electric hobs which can become extremely hot and pose a burn hazard.

The majority of induction hobs have different types of controls, the most basic being the simple power bar or touch mark on the surface of the hob, or an entirely functional TFT display which displays all the options and lets you easily change power levels as well as set timers, and more. The more advanced models of induction hobs include lots of small copper coils tightly grouped together below the cooktop, and the magnet under each one will be able to detect the moment you place your pan. It then activates the required coil to match the pan's size and shape.
