Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen, and there are a variety of options to choose from. We have a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features such as pan supports.

They heat up and cool down fast with a uniform cooking surface temperature. They are often favored by professional chefs and are easy to control.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a very popular choice. They have burner rings, and a grates that pots and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can also accommodate a variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric options since they are powered by a natural gas supply.

These are available in different finishes like stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give cabinets a modern and sleek look that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. However, they can be susceptible to scratching and scorching, so it's important to be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is crucial to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if have one of the more traditional freestanding models. It is possible to remove the grates and burner caps for deeper cleaning, taking them out of the soapy water and gently rubbing. Alternately, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

In contrast to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the countertop of the kitchen, providing a seamless look. They can be mounted on a separate base so they are simple to move around when you move or change the layout of your kitchen. However, building a gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.

Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From the classic black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. Some even come in a stunning blue or green colour to add a splash of personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been used for decades and are a safe, reliable option. They provide precise temperature control as well as evenly distributed heat. They are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid accidents, it is essential to follow safety guidelines and practice proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also come with a flame failure mechanism that will shut off the gas when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and is relatively easy to heat up and clean. They are available in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square designs, so there's a style to suit most kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators that turn off the area when it is too hot to touch. This can reduce the risk of burns, and is particularly useful for children who are young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is susceptible to scratches and chips. It's even more so when you drag the pans across rather than lifting them using their handles. We recommend that you use extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend against using magnetic or metal cookware on a ceramic hob since it can cause damage to the surface.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic stove is that it takes longer than induction or gas to cool down. This can be a hassle when you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. However, many manufacturers have worked on this and now offer a range of hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30 percent.

Induction hobs warm up the fastest and are the most efficient choice available. Induction hobs are extremely clean and safe. They don't hold any heat on the cooking area. However, they can be expensive.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs have become an increasingly popular choice for kitchen renovations. They are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the glass/ceramic surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool quicker than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is passed through them. The coils are activated through magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed on the cooking surface. It is easier to cook because the pan doesn't lose heat.

There's an induction stove that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something simple to control, you might select a model with a full touchscreen display that displays the location of the pan in each of its zones. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough operating menu, change the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food types - a great feature to cut down on time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs are also regarded as one of the most energy-efficient cooktops available, since they produce no residual heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to stay away from them.

We suggest you choose a high-end induction stove that has an integrated extractor. This removes steam, smoke and odours out of the air while you cook, meaning it can be used with a wider selection of cooking equipment. You'll also get the most value for your money if you choose one with dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left hand side to accommodate larger pans.

If you're looking for a hard-wearing hob that will withstand hard-wearing stains, consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This layer is five times more durable than the standard ceramic coating and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. You should still use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of food residue that has been burned on and avoid abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are sleek and can easily be integrated into any décor. Their energy efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy families.

Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that rises through the ceramic glass and then directly heats whatever is sat on the top. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient, since they can be shut off when they are not in use.

It's important to note that not all hobs have the same features. Some are more advanced than others, with features such as automatic safety shutdown and an electronic display that clearly shows power levels, temperatures, and cooking time. Some models also have an increase function that boosts the speed of the element to provide more power.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean due to their flat surface. Spills and splatters can be easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.

Electric hobs are a fantastic option for families. However should you have pacemakers, you are not able to use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field may interfere with the device.
