Types of Oven Hob A hob is a flat, elevated surface that is used to heat pots and pans. There are various types of hobs, including gas, electric, and induction. Features to look out for include rotary, touch and controls for position. These controls allow you to control heating zones by pressing a button. They also protect them from being knocked down easily, especially if they are used by children. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are a fantastic choice for modern kitchens, mixing style and function. However, the glossy surface is prone to stains and scratches caused by food and burnt-on cooking residues. To ensure that your stove looks good and working efficiently it is essential to maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pad. These hobs are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements hidden beneath the glass surface, which produce heat when activated through control knobs. Certain models employ an element that emits heat through the glass's surface. Others use halogen elements, which are much 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 have advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicator that warns you when the surface remains hot to the surface. This helps prevent burns. Some also have child locks to stop children from accidentally altering the settings. It is crucial to choose the correct cookware for your ceramic stove. It is essential that your pans have flat bottoms as this promotes even heating and prevents hot spots which can cause food to be undercooked or overcooked. Avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the glass tempered. We recommend ceramic hobs that have dual-ring designs, or an 'I Flex' zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll need a pan with minimum dimensions of 30cm to allow it to register. Alternatively, we also offer models equipped with a booster burner to allow rapid heating of specific zones or pots – great for stir-fry or searing steak. Certain models come with an automatic shut-off feature that shuts off the hob at a set time to prevent 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 when 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 known as gas stoves or gas cookers are kitchen appliances that make use of flammable natural gas or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats the cookware and the air around it, which allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob adds security as it stops the body from coming in contact with the flame, reducing the risk of burns. However, this elevated design requires particular attention when cleaning and operating the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners. The burners of a traditional gas hob are controlled manually and lit with matches. The latest models have an automatic igniter, which ensures that the gas is lit on its own. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it easy to adjust the heat level. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This gives you more cooking flexibility. Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which could be an issue when you live in a region that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to guard against dangerous leaks and corrosion. Because of this, it is essential to install a gas stove only after consulting with an approved Gas Safe fitter who can offer expert installation and follow strict safety guidelines. While oven with hob and electric hobs are gaining popularity however, there is a substantial market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to the preference of consumers and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. It is crucial to think about your kitchen's cost of utility and infrastructure before choosing a type. Hobs Induction Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who are looking for a sleek, clean-looking kitchen. Magnetism is used to heat the pans instead of a heated surface or burning gas beneath. Beneath the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which an alternating electric current runs through. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pot or pan directly. This is a lot faster than traditional gas hobs and is more energy efficient as well. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is easy to clean. Induction hobs are designed to be simpler than gas hobs to wash. A quick wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking as fresh as new. Induction cooking requires that you make use of the correct cookware. All cookware that include cast iron stainless steel, non-stick and cast iron ones, need 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. A range of induction hobs are available, from budget models to premium brands with a TFT display and a comprehensive operating menu. The hob displays the pan's position on a full-color display when it is in an area of power. A control button or slider allows you to alter the power setting or set a clock. There are also clever accessories available, such as pan sensors that attach to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob using bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner. One of our most popular models is an induction cooker that includes a built-in extractor fan to reduce smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space since it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields within the kilohertz frequency band to generate heat that indirectly affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, at a distance of five to ten centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value of the magnetic flux density set for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health risks are anticipated. ovens hobs are sleek and designed to match all kitchen styles. They are a great option for those who like the ease of use of touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to fit your cooking needs. Most are made from glass, which is easy to clean, and can look elegant if you opt for a white or black design. Some models feature a bridge feature to combine two zones in order to accommodate larger pans, and others include a power boost button that can provide extra heat for tasks that require a lot of effort. Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular because they provide a modern and sleek design that blends well with the designs of today's kitchens. They cook quickly and offer the highest level of security. For example they tend to cool faster than gas cookers and have a “hot” indicator light that stays on to inform you that the cooking area is hot to the touch. They also work more efficiently, as the magnetic field only heats the pan and not the air surrounding it. However, there are things to bear in mind when selecting an induction hob that will require a particular power supply with the appropriate breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric hob installed by a licensed electrician. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll have to buy a set of 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.
