These finishes give cabinets a modern and sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to scratching and scorching and scratching, so it's crucial to take extra care when cleaning them.

They can be positioned on a separate base, which means they are easy to move when you move or change the layout of your kitchen.

They also are more efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid accidents.

Gas hobs also come with an automatic flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame goes out. This prevents accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek, modern appearance and they're relatively quick to warm up and clean. There are a variety of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they typically have built-in residual heat indicators that switch off the area if it's been used and becomes too hot to touch or clean with only a few minutes. This can help minimise the risk of accidental burns and is particularly beneficial when you have children.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to chips and scratches. This is more of a problem if you drag pans across it, rather than lifting them up by their handles. Therefore, we advise being extra careful when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend against using magnetic or metal cookware on a ceramic hob as this can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be a nuisance if you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking areas. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer a range of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by as much as 30%.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs and ovens are the quickest to get hot and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe because they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, however there is a cost to pay for these advantages since they are more expensive than other options.

Hobs induction

A popular choice for kitchen remodeling, induction hobs are stylish alternatives to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated instead of the ceramic or glass surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

Copper coils are located under the smooth, glossy ceramic or glass surface of an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is passed through them. When a compatible pan is placed in the cooking area the coils instantly generate heat by magnetic induction. Cooking is more efficient since the pan doesn't lose heat.

You'll find an induction hob that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something easy to operate, you could opt for a model with a touchscreen that displays the location of the pan on every zone. Tap on the display and you'll be able to access a comprehensive menu for operation, changing the power setting or the timer. Some induction best hobs will even provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or types of food which is a great way to reduce time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be the most efficient cooking stove, as they use less electricity and generate no residual heat. However, since they generate magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.

Our recommendation is to choose a premium induction hob with an extractor built-in. This will remove smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a large selection of cooking tools. You'll also get the most value for money if you select dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pans.

If you're looking for a durable hob that is resistant to staining, you should consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This coating guards against chips, scratches and stains. According to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their conventional ceramic coating. It is still recommended to make use of a non-abrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pad for removing food residues that have been burned, but avoid any cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Stylish and practical electric hobs are a staple element in modern kitchens. Their sleek design allows them to blend seamlessly into any decor and their energy-efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy households.

Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is sat on the top. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient, since they can be turned off when not in use.

It's important to note that not all hobs are equal. Certain hobs are more modern, with features like automatic safety shutdown, a digital display, that clearly displays the power level and temperature, as well as cooking time. Certain models also come with the ability to boost the speed of the element to give it additional power.

Another benefit of an electric best hob is its flat surface that makes it easier to clean than traditional gas models. There are no grates to scrub, spillages and splatters can be easily cleaned and your hob will remain in good condition for a longer time.

Electric hobs are a great choice for families. However when you wear pacemakers, you are not able to make use of this type of stove since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a better alternative for those who want to connect their devices to a compatible cookware set that can be bought from our tried and tested range of kitchen accessories.
