Hobs in the oven and hob are the center of a kitchen and there are many different options available. We have a variety of cooking ring sizes from four to six. Some are equipped with additional features like pan supports.

They heat and cool quickly and have a consistent cooking surface temperature. They are often favored by professional chefs and easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a common choice. They have burner rings as well as grates that saucepans and pots rest on. They heat quickly and have precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric options as they utilise natural gas as a source of energy.

These are available in a variety of finishes including stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give cabinets a sleek, modern appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scratching and scorching and so you must be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. For a more thorough clean you can remove the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water, then scrub them gently. Alternatively, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to clean staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the countertop of the kitchen creating a seamless appearance. They can be positioned on a separate base, which means they are simple to move when you change the layout of your kitchen. However, installing an gas hob into your kitchen requires an extensive amount of work and professional installation.

Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From traditional white and black, to the modern glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some even come in a stunning green or blue color to add a splash of character to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for decades and are a reliable and safe alternative. Gas hobs are energy efficient and provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat evenly. To prevent any accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety regulations and practice proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also feature a flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame has gone out. This can prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have a sleek, modern appearance and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are a myriad of styles to choose from including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes like rectangles and squares. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they often have built-in residual heat indicators that shut off the zone if it's been used and will be too hot to touch or clean after just a few minutes. This reduces the chance of burns and is especially useful when your children are still young.

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

Another downside of a ceramic hob is that it may take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This is a problem if you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer a range of hobs that reduce cooling time by up to 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to warm up and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are extremely clean and safe as they don't retain heat on the cooking areas, however there's a price to pay for these benefits as they can be more expensive than other options.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs are now the most popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They're a stylish option to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They also cool down faster than traditional hobs, meaning they're easier to keep clean.

Beneath the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an alternating electrical current flows through. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. Cooking is more efficient because the pan doesn't lose heat.

You can find an induction cooktop that suits your style. If you're looking for something simple to operate, you can choose a model that has a touchscreen display showing the pan's location in each of its zones. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough menu of operation, altering the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or food types - a great feature to reduce time and effort when you're cooking.

Induction hobs are also thought to be the most energy efficient cooktop option because they consume less power and produce no heat that remains. However, since they generate magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near them.

Our suggestion is to select an induction hob that is top-quality and has an integrated extractor. This will eliminate smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a wide selection of cooking tools. Select one that has dual flex zones. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.

If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that is resistant to tough stains, try models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coat. This layer protects against scratches, chips and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times more durable than their normal ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrub pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that can scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are a crucial feature in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. Their sleek design 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 the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that rises through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient, since they can be shut off when not in use.

It's important to remember that not all stoves have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, and come with features such as automatic safety shutdown and an electronic display that clearly displays the power level, temperature and cooking time. Some models have a boost feature that increases the power and speed of the element.

Electric hobs are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. Spills and splatters can easily be removed without needing to scrub the grates. This means that your stove will last longer.

These features make electric hobs an ideal choice for families, it's important to keep in mind that if have a pacemaker fitted it is not possible to use this kind of hob as its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device.
