Types of Hobs Oven Hobs are a must-have kitchen appliance that can blend into the kitchen worktop or make a statement as a stand-out feature. They're also among the most popular styles of cooker as they're simple to use and feature modern, sleek design. There are five different types to pick from. Each hob has distinct style, function and design. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are an elegant blend of style and function, while sitting flush with the countertop for contemporary design. They work by passing electric currents through coiled elements underneath the glass surface, which will then heat up and transfer that energy to your pan. The flat surface is also easy to clean, which means spills and splatters are easily wiped away. The downside is that they are vulnerable to stains, particularly from certain liquids or foods, so it's best to avoid using abrasive cleaners. Electric ceramic hobs are an excellent option for those who want to save money or do not need the expense of gas or induction cooktops. They take longer to heat than other kinds of hobs and may not be as efficient in the event that the cooking zones do not match your pans. This is because the whole cooking zone heats up, and may then transfer some of that heat to the pan, and waste some energy. Some ceramic hobs can also overheat. They usually have built-in residual heat indicators to avoid this. These tell you whether the hob is still hot after cooking. This is designed to minimise accidents and help you avoid getting burned by touching a hot hob surface. A black ceramic stove can be a great option if you want to add a modern and elegant touch to your home. They're inexpensive and come in a range of sizes and styles to fit any budget. In contrast to traditional gas hobs that require multiple components to work properly ceramic cooktops are made from a single piece of glass that has been tempered to sit directly on the countertop.

However, it's important to use a qualified professional for repairs and installation to ensure safety and prevent the warranty from being void. Gas on Glass Hobs Glass hobs with gas have the same features as traditional gas stoves, however they are much easier to clean and more visually appealing.

Induction hobs are a popular choice for homeowners seeking a sleek modern, functional and contemporary cooktop. They work by using magnetic induction technology to heat cookware, so only the pan made of metal is heated while the ceramic glass surface stays cool. They are easy to clean and they produce instant controlled heat that is evenly dispersed. They're also energy efficient and do not require combustion, which helps to reduce your carbon footprint. Induction Hobs Like the name suggests, these hobs utilize induction technology to heat pans. The coils are positioned under each cooking area and, when activated by a magnetic field they emit magnetic fields that heat the bottom of any pans made from iron. This is a way to save energy as the hob remains cool until you place a pan on top. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children. Some induction hobs have an area of flexizone on the left that lets you connect two zones into one big zone, which is ideal for those who cook with larger pots and pans. Some models, such as this WiFi enabled model from Samsung offers more advanced features. For instance, a pause function that lowers the temperature after removing your pan. SmartThings allows you to control the appliance remotely. You can set timers, alerts and even turn on and off the hob while you are not at home. Induction hobs are also among the most energy efficient on the market. The reason for this is that the heat is produced and held in the pan itself, rather than on the surface of the cooker's hood. They also shut off quicker in the event that there isn't a pan detected or if the pan is removed. This helps to reduce residual heat. Induction hobs may be a bit more expensive than other types however they will save you money in the long cost of your energy bills because they heat and cool faster than ceramic hobs.

Combination Induction and Gas Hobs There is no definitive answer on the question of whether gas or induction hobs are better, as each type of cooktop has its own advantages. Gas hobs are quick to heating and are compatible with all kinds of cookware, while induction hobs offer energy efficiency and precise control. To enjoy the most benefits of both, a hybrid hob offers the flexibility of making use of both cooking zones at the same time.
