Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?
Hobs in the oven are the center of any kitchen and there are a variety of choices available. We offer a range of cooking rings ranging from four to six. Some come with additional features like pan supports.
They are able to heat up and cool down quickly, with even cooking surface temperature. Professional chefs usually prefer them because they are simple to control.
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs are a common option. They come with burner rings, and a grates that saucepans and pots rest on. They heat up fast and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques including boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric ones since they are powered by natural gas as a source of energy.
They are available in a variety of finishes including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes give the cabinets a modern, sleek look that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scorching and scratches which is why you must be extra careful when cleaning them.
Regular cleaning can help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially important if you own a more traditional freestanding model. For a deeper 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 get rid of stubborn stain without damaging the surface.
Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are appliances that stand on their own, built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the kitchen countertop, providing a seamless look. They can be mounted on a separate base, which means they are simple to move when you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. However, building the gas hob in your kitchen will require lots of work in construction and professional installation.
Similar to other types of cooktops, gas hobs are available in a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional black and white to contemporary glossy glass. Some are even available in a stunning green or blue colour to add some character to your kitchen.
Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been used for many years. Gas hobs are energy efficient and provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. To prevent any accidents, it is vital to follow safety guidelines and practice proper ventilation.
Gas hobs also feature the ability to shut off the flame when it fails. stops the gas flow when the flame goes out. This can prevent accidental burns or explosions.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern look. They are also easy to clean and heat up. They come in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's one that's suitable for every kitchen. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. They also come with residual heat indicators built in which shut off the zone if it's too hot to touch. This can lower the chance of burns and is especially beneficial when your children are young.
The flat surface of the ceramic hob is susceptible to chips and scratches. This is a bigger issue when you drag pans across it instead than lifting them by their handles. Therefore, we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob since it can cause damage to the surface.
Another downside of a ceramic stove is that it can take longer than induction or gas to cool down. This can be a hassle when you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this issue and are now offering various hobs that reduce cooling time by up to 30 percent.
Hobs induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to get hot and are the most energy-efficient option on the market. Induction hobs are very clean and safe, and they don't store any heat on the cooking zone. However, they can be expensive.
Hobs Induction
A popular option for kitchen upgrades, induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the ceramic/glass surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They cool down faster than traditional hobs and are therefore easier to clean.
Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is passed through them. When a pan that is compatible with the hob is placed in the cooking zone the coils instantly produce heat via magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently because there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.
There's an induction stove that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something simple to control, you might opt for a model with an entire touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan in every single zone. You can then touch the display to access an extensive menu of operating options and change the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or kinds of food - a great feature to save time and effort when you're cooking.
Induction hobs are also thought to be the most energy efficient cooking options, as they use less electricity and generate no residual heat. However, because they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's best to stay away from them.
We recommend choosing a premium induction stove that has an integrated extractor. This will eliminate smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a broad variety of cooking utensils. You'll also get the best value for your money if you opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to make room for larger pans.
If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that can resist staining, you should consider models that have Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This coating guards against chips, scratches and stains. According to Hotpoint, is five times stronger than their normal ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, use a nonabrasive cleaning agent or scrubbing pads. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products that can scratch the ceramic surface.
Electric Hobs
Stylish and practical electric hobs are a staple element in modern kitchens. They are elegant and easily integrated into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them an ideal choice for busy families.
Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs use an element that floats through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is 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's important to remember that not all hobs come with the same features. Certain hobs are more modern, with features like automatic safety shutdown as well as a digital display which clearly displays power levels and temperatures and cooking time. Some models come with a boost feature that increases the performance and speed of the element.
Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface which makes it cleaner than a gas model. There are no grates to scrub, spillages and splatters are easily cleaned away, meaning your hob will remain in good condition for longer.
Although these features make an electric hob an ideal choice for families, it's worth bearing in mind that if are fitted with a pacemaker, you can't use this type of hob as its electromagnetic field can interfere with your device. Induction hobs are a better option for those who need a compatible cookware that you can purchase from our kitchen appliances.
