Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Hobs for the oven are the mainstay of any kitchen. There are a variety of choices. We have a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six. Some come with additional features, such as pan supports. They cool and heat quickly and maintain a constant cooking surface temperature. Professional chefs typically prefer them because they are simple to control. Gas Hobs A very popular choice, gas hobs feature burner rings as well as an grate that pots and pans sit on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide variety of cooking techniques, from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are typically more affordable than electric hobs, as they use natural gas sources. They're available in a wide selection of finishes, including stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give the cabinets a modern and sleek look that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scorching and scratches which is why you must take extra care to clean them. Regular cleaning can help keep your kitchen appliance in perfect condition. This is especially important if you own an older style freestanding model. For a more thorough clean you can take off the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to remove stain that is stubborn without harming the surface. Built-in gas hobs provide an elegant appearance, in contrast to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances. They can also be placed on a standalone base, making them easy to move in case you move house or change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot of work and a professional installation to be installed in your kitchen. As with other types of cooktops, gas hobs are available in a range of finishes, from traditional white and black to modern glossy glass. Some even come in a stunning blue or green colour to add some personality to your kitchen. Gas hobs are a secure and reliable choice that has been in use for a long time. They provide precise temperature control as well as evenly distributed heat. They are more efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety rules and practice proper ventilation. Gas hobs also have a flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame has gone out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs have an elegant, modern look and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are a myriad of designs 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 feature built in residual heat indicators that shut off the zone when it has been used and is too hot to touch or clean with just a few minutes. This can help minimise the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially beneficial when you have children. The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to scratches and chips. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pans across instead of lifting them with their handles. We recommend that you take extra care when moving and handling your cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend against using magnetic or metal cookware on a ceramic hob since it can cause damage to the surface. A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This is a problem especially 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 have now launched a range of hobs that can reduce their cooling time by up to 30 percent. Hobs Induction The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to heat up and are the most energy-efficient option available. Induction hobs are extremely clean and safe. They don't hold any heat on the cooking zone. However they can be costly. Hobs induction A popular choice for kitchen upgrades, induction hobs offer a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan, rather than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy consumption and making them safer to use. They also cool faster than traditional hobs, meaning they're easier to keep clean. Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy ceramic/glass surface of an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is passed through them. The coils are activated through magnetic induction when a compatible pot or pan is placed over the cooking area. It is easier to cook since the pan doesn't lose heat. You can find an induction cooktop that will suit your taste. If you want something easy to use, choose a model that has a touchscreen display that shows the pan's position within each of its zones. You can then touch the display to access an extensive menu of operating options and change the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or kinds of food – a great feature to reduce time and effort when you're cooking. Induction hobs are also thought of as one of the most energy-efficient cooktop options, because they produce no residual heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, they could interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's best to avoid using them near them. We recommend that you select a top induction stove that has an integrated extractor. This will help remove smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a large selection of cooking tools. You'll also get the best value for money if you select dual-flex zones, which allows you to join two zones together on the left side to accommodate larger pans. If you're looking for a hard-wearing hob that is resistant to staining, you should consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coat. This layer is five times stronger than the normal ceramic coating and guards against scratches, stains and chips. To remove any burnt-on food residues, you can use a nonabrasive cleaning agent or scrubbing pads. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the ceramic surface. Electric Hobs Elegant and practical electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. Their sleek design means they can fit nicely into any decor and their efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy households. Electric hobs, unlike gas, don't use an open flame. Instead, they utilize an element that rises up through ceramic glass to heat food directly. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use, since they can be shut off when not being used. It's important to note that not all stoves have the same features. Certain hobs are more sophisticated equipped with features like automatic safety shutdown and a digital display which clearly shows the power level and temperature and cooking time. Some models also have a boost function that increases the speed of the element to provide more power. Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it much cleaner than a traditional gas model. Since there are no grates to scrub spills and splatters, they are easily cleaned away so that your hob will remain in good condition for a longer time. Electric hobs are an excellent choice for families. However when you wear a pacemaker you cannot make use of this type of stove since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a great alternative for those who require an appropriate cookware that you can buy from our range of kitchen accessories.
