Types of Oven Hob A hob is a flat, elevated surface that heats pots and pans. There are different types of hobs, including gas, electric, and induction. Find features such as buttons that rotate or touch controls. They let you control the heating zones by the press of a button. They also stop them from being easily knocked over, especially by children. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs combine style and functionality in a modern kitchen. The glossy surface can be damaged by food scratch marks and other residues. To keep your hob looking good and working efficiently it is essential to maintain an ongoing cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleansers or a scrubbing pad. The hobs of this style are heated by passing an electric current through coiled metal components which are hidden beneath the glass surface. These elements generate heat when they are activated using control knobs. Certain models employ an element that emits heat through the surface of the glass. Some models use the halogen element, which is more efficient. They are able to heat the entire surface in successions of pulses. Many of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features like residual heat indicators that warn you when the surface is hot to the touch to avoid burns. Certain ceramic hobs come with child locks that stop children from accidentally altering the settings. It is essential to select the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This will ensure that your pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes even heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that could result in food being overcooked or undercooked. You should also avoid dragging pans across the surface since this could scratch the tempered glass. For greater flexibility when cooking, we recommend our ceramic hobs that have dual ring designs or an 'I-Flex' zone that can accommodate two single pots or one large pan (you'll require at least a 30cm-wide pan in order for it to register). There are models that have booster heaters for quick heating in specific zones or pans. This is perfect for searing steak and stir-fry. There are also models with an auto shut-off feature which turns off the hob after a set time to prevent overheating. This is a fantastic safety feature that will give you peace of mind. This feature is typically activated by pressing the 'Power' button on the control panel when you have an appliance set to the maximum temperature and no activity is detected for a set period of time. Gas Hobs Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or cookers are kitchen appliances that use flammable natural gas or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats the cookware and the air around it which allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. The elevated design of a gas hob provides added security as it stops the body from coming in contact with the flame, thus reducing the risk of burns. However, this elevated design requires special care when cleaning and using the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids on the burners. A traditional gas hob is lit by a match or by an igniter and the burners are controlled by hand. Modern models come with an automatic igniter, which ensures that the gas is lit automatically. The flame is then controlled through the control knobs, making it simple to alter the heat level according to your needs. Depending on the model, a few gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility. One of the biggest drawbacks for a gas hob is that it requires a continuous supply of gas, which can be a challenge when you reside in an area that has an erratic or unreliable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to guard against harmful corrosion and leaks. Gas hobs should be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can guarantee a safe installation and adhere to strict safety guidelines. While induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular but there is an enormous market for gas appliances in some regions. This is largely due to the preferences of consumers and concerns about the environment, as well as local energy prices and availability. It is essential to take into consideration the kitchen's cost of utility and infrastructure before selecting a kitchen style. Induction Hobs Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want a sleek, clean-looking kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans rather than a heated plate or burning gas underneath. Copper coils are situated beneath the glass ceramic's surface. An alternating electric current is passed through them. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top of the cooker the coils detect the magnetic base and release heat directly into the pan or the pan itself. This is much faster than gas stoves that are traditional and more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to feel and easy to clean. Induction hobs are designed to be easier than gas hobs to wash. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is all you need to keep your induction hob looking fresh as new. The main limitation with cooking induction is that you must have the right cookware. All cookware including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick and cast iron are required to have a magnetized base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible. There are a range of induction hobs that are available starting from the cheapest models to high-end brands with TFT displays with a full menu of operation. The hob will display the pan's position in full-color when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider lets you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are other clever accessories available, including pan sensors that adhere to the sides of your cookware and communicate with the hob through bluetooth to control the power exactly. One of our most adored models is an induction cooker with an integrated extractor fan that helps to reduce the smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with limited space since it eliminates the need for an extractor fan. Like other induction hobs it utilizes magnetic fields at frequencies within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the density of magnetic fields for the frequency at which it operates. No health effects should be expected. Electric Hobs The best electric hobs provide an elegant look and are designed to fit all kitchen styles. They are perfect for those who prefer touch controls to dials, and they come with a range of options that can meet your cooking needs. Most of them are made from glass, which is clean and stylish in white or black style. Some models have a bridge function to combine two zones to accommodate larger pans while others have a power boost button for an extra amount of heat when you're performing a task that is particularly difficult. Induction hobs have become increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that is in line with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and offer a high degree of safety. They tend to cool faster than gas cookers and come with an indicator light that remains on when the cooking zone is hot to the touch. They also work more efficiently since the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air surrounding it. There are a few things to consider when choosing an electric hob. The majority of them require an electric power source that is configured with the appropriate cables and breakers. We suggest having it installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll have to purchase a set of compatible induction pans to make the most of them. They are also more expensive to run because they often use more energy than other hobs.
