It is used to cook a variety of methods, and it's important to choose the right hob for you. No matter if you're a seasoned chef who values precision or a busy family cook looking for speed, there's a kitchen appliance to meet your requirements.Electric ceramic and induction hobs are frameless, flat design that adds to the elegant appearance of any kitchen.

This is perfect for busy families. They heat up quickly, and their smooth surface makes them easy to clean. However, they can be more expensive than gas hobs and could take longer to cool down and heat down.Gas hobs are a favorite among chefs because they provide instant heating and precise control. They're also secure, with built-in flame failure safety systems that shut off gas flow if there is a leak. However, they are less efficient than electric or induction hobs, and are more difficult to clean because of the pan supports and burners.Plate hobs are the classic design of the hob and have been around for a long time. They have a flat-topped top that has gas or electric rings that are heated when you turn the dial. They're economical, but not the best choice for cast iron cookware and do not evenly distribute heat across the whole surface.Induction hobs heat your pan directly, rather than heating up the surface of the hob as with traditional hobs. They are safer since there is no open flame. They are also easy to clean. They're also more expensive and take longer to cool and heat than gas or electricity hobs.Gas hobsA gas hob is a common choice for home cooks due to its quick heating capabilities and simple control. There are usually models that offer between two and six burners. Some models include a wok-burner for stir-frying cooking. Others have a visual flame indicator that indicates whether the oven is on or off.They cook food faster than induction or electric models, making them ideal for kitchens with a lot of activity. They can also be cheaper to run than electric hobs provided you get electricity from a provider which generates renewable energy sources.You can get gas hobs that are freestanding or built-in models. If you plan to remodel your kitchen, freestanding models are more suitable since they can be moved easily. However, they can be difficult to install and might require hacking into your completed carpentry, which may not be suitable for all homes.They have a flat and smooth surface, making them easier to clean. They typically have elegant, stainless steel trims, that can be incorporated into many kitchen designs. Some models even come with touch-sensitive controls as well as an energy boost feature that lets you increase the power of a particular burner by up to 50%, meaning you can bring a pot of water to the boil in no time.Some gas hobs feature an automatic safety system that shuts off the supply of gas when the flame ceases to burn and you're not at risk of accidentally causing a fire. Gas hobs can be cheaper to run than some electric ones, and they allow for precise temperature control.It's worth mentioning that gas hobs produce carbon dioxide as they burn, which can be a problem for environmentally conscious consumers. There are models that emit no CO2 when they are in use. These 'zero-emission gas hobs or eco-friendly gas stoves' have all the features of a conventional gas stove but emits zero CO2.Electric hobsElectric hobs are a common choice for kitchens of any style. They provide a range of advantages over other types. They are able to heat up and cool down faster than gas hobs, meaning less heat remains behind as the cookware is removed. They also cook more consistently and are less susceptible to hot spots than some gas models. Since they are electric, they require less maintenance and are cheaper to operate than gas.Ceramic or glass electric hobs are most often found in modern kitchens. They have a sleek, stylish look that is easy to clean. They are also safe to touch. Their flat surface makes them a popular choice for parents who have children, as they're unlikely to be scratched or smashed by heavy pans. They're also fairly inexpensive to run and can easily be repaired in the event of damage.Ceramic hobs are able to heat directly the pan, unlike traditional plate hobs that rely on coils to heat the pan. This means that they heat up and cool down faster, and can be used with any type of cookware. They're generally more expensive than electric plate hobs, however they'll save you money on energy costs in the long run due to their efficiency and the way they convert nearly all of the electrical energy into usable heat.It's important that you maintain your ceramic or tempered glass stove regularly to avoid any issues. Cleaning the cooktop with non-abrasive cleaning products is recommended, as well as making sure to replace any heating controls that are defective and cleaning out the grates and burner caps regularly. Be on the lookout for gas odours, since they could be a sign of an issue with gas lines or leaks. If you suspect this, it's advisable to contact a gas professional for assistance. Always ensure that best hob has cooled completely prior to cleaning in order to prevent any severe damage. This will also help prevent accidental spills and fires!Hobs with inductionInduction cookers are an innovative alternative to gas and electric hobs. They make use of an electric field instead of the cooktop to heat the pan. This lets them heat up much more quickly than other hobs, and they can reduce energy consumption in the long run. The cooktop's surface is cool to the touch. Many models have safety features like automatic shutoff to prevent accidents.Induction hobs are usually ceramic or glass that have an alternating current that creates an electric field that heats. Induction-compatible cookware must have flat bases and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed over the cooking zone. Most hobs feature a bridging zone that can connect two zones to accommodate larger pans.Induction hobs are known for their efficiency, and a lot of users report a dip in their energy costs after switching to one. They are also considered to be more secure since the cooktop's surface stays cool to the surface, reducing the chance of burns, and only heats the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than gas or electric hobs that can become extremely hot.Most induction hobs come with different types of controls that are the simplest being the simple power bar or touch mark on the top of the hob, or an entirely functional TFT display that displays all the options, and lets you adjust the power levels, set timers and more. More advanced induction hobs have lots of small copper coils tightly grouped together under the cooktop. the magnet beneath each one will detect the moment you place your pan. The coil is activated when it is suitable for the pan's size and shape.All of our ovens and hobs are available as stand-alone models or seamlessly integrated into kitchen's worktops and units for a a sleek, seamless look.
