Which oven hob (learn here) Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are the heart of a kitchen and there are numerous options available. We offer a variety of cooking rings from four to six, with some with additional features such as pan supports.

They cool and heat quickly, with a consistent cooking surface temperature. Often favoured by professional chefs and easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

A well-liked choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as a grate that pots and pans sit on. They heat quickly and have precise temperature control. They can also accommodate a variety of cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive than electric ones, as they use natural gas sources.

These are available in different finishes like stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give them modern and sleek appearance that will complement any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scratching and scorching, so you should be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. For a more thorough clean you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to eliminate stubborn staining without damaging the surface.

Built-in gas hobs provide a seamless appearance, unlike traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances. They can be mounted on a separate foundation, so they are easy to move around when you move or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas ovens hobs require a lot work and professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

Gas hobs come in a variety of finishes. From traditional white and black to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some are available in stunning colours like blue or green to give a unique look to your kitchen.

Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been in use for many years. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat evenly. However, it is crucial to practice proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

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

Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and they're relatively quick to heat up and clean. There are many designs 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. They typically have built-in residual heat indicators that turn off the area if it's been used and is too hot to touch or clean in only a few minutes. This can reduce the risk of burns and is especially beneficial if your children are young.

The flat surface of the ceramic hob is susceptible to scratches and oven hob chips. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pans across rather than lifting them by their handles. We suggest that you exercise caution when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob and oven. We also suggest that you avoid using magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs as they can damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This can be a hassle especially in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking zones. However, many manufacturers have worked on this issue and have now launched various hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to get hot and are the most energy-efficient option available. Induction hobs are very clean and safe, and they don't store any heat on the cooking area. However they can be costly.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are a popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a fashionable option to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic/glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs, making them easier to clean.

Copper coils are located under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob and oven. A current of alternating electrical energy is pushed through them. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. This allows you to cook more efficiently since there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.

There's an induction stove that is a good fit for your style. If you're looking for something simple to use, select a model with a touchscreen display that shows the pan's position in each of its zones. You can then tap on the display to launch an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or the timer. Some induction cooktops provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or kinds of food which is a great way to reduce time and oven hob effort while cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most efficient cooking stove because they consume less electricity and produce no heat that remains. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near 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 wide variety of cooking utensils. Select one that has the dual flex zone. This lets you connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option for those looking for a durable hob that will be resistant to hard-wearing stains. The coating is five times more durable than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains, and chips. It is still recommended to use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad for removing burnt-on food residue and avoid abrasive cleansers which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Stylish and practical electric hobs are an essential element in modern kitchens. Their sleek appearance means they can fit nicely in any decor, and their efficient heating makes them an ideal choice for busy households.

Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. They're also more cost-effective to run as they can be turned off when not in use - saving you money on energy bills.

It is important to keep in mind that not all hobs have the same features. Certain hobs are more modern, with features like an automatic safety shut-off as well as a digital display which clearly shows the power level and temperature, as well as cooking time. Certain models also come with an increase function that boosts the speed of the element to give it extra power.

Electric hobs are also easier to clean because of their flat surface. Spills and splatters are easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means that your hob will last longer.

While these features make electric hobs an ideal choice for families, you should bear in mind that if you are fitted with a pacemaker, it is not possible to use this kind of hob as its electromagnetic field may interfere with your device. Induction hobs are a great option for those who require an appropriate cookware that you can purchase from our range of kitchen accessories.
