Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?
Oven hobs are the heart of a kitchen and there are numerous options to choose from. We have a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six, and some with additional features such as pan supports.
They heat and cool quickly and have a consistent cooking surface temperature. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and are easy to control.
Gas Hobs
A well-liked option, gas hobs come with burner rings and a grate that pots and pans sit on. They heat up quickly and offer precise temperature control. They can be used for a wide variety of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric options because they use natural gas sources.
They are available in various finishes, including stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give cabinets a modern, sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They can be prone for scratching and scorching which is why you must be extra careful when cleaning them.
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your kitchen appliance in perfect condition. This is especially important if you own a traditional freestanding model. To get a more thorough clean, you can remove the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and scrub gently. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn staining without damaging the surface.
Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances, gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can be positioned on a separate base so they are easy to move when you change the layout of your kitchen. However, incorporating the gas hob in your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.
Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From the classic white and black to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. Some are even available in a stunning blue or green colour to add a splash of character to your kitchen.
Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been in use for many years. They offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. They also are more energy-efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid any accidents, it is vital to adhere to safety rules and practice proper ventilation.
Another advantage of gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply once the flame of the burner goes out. This helps prevent accidental burns or explosions.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs have a sleek and modern design. They are also relatively easy to clean and warm up. There are many designs to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use and they typically have built-in residual heat indicators that turn off the area if it's been used and becomes too hot to touch or clean with only a few minutes. This can reduce the chance of burns and is particularly useful for children who are still young.
The flat surface of the ceramic hob is prone to scratches and chips. This is a particular issue when you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up by their handles. Therefore, we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs as they can damage the surface.
Another downside of a ceramic cooktop is that it takes longer than induction or gas to cool down. This can be problematic if you're working in a packed kitchen or need to quickly change from one cooking area to another. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this and have a variety that can cut the time to cool by up to 30%.
Hobs Induction
The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the quickest to warm up and are the most energy efficient option available. They are extremely clean and safe because they don't retain heat on the cooking areas, however there is a price to pay for these benefits because they can be more expensive than other options.
Hobs Induction
Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for kitchen upgrades. They are 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 also cool faster than traditional hobs, so they're less difficult to clean.
Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy ceramic or glass surface of an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is passed through them. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a suitable pan or pot is placed over the cooking area. Cooking is more efficient because the pan doesn't lose heat.
You'll find an induction hob that suits your style. If you're looking for something that is easy to operate, you could opt for a model with an entire touchscreen display that displays the location of the pan on each of its zones. Then, you can tap the display to launch a comprehensive operating menu and alter the power setting or the timer. Best ovens UK offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or kinds of food which is a great way to reduce time and effort when you're cooking.
Induction hobs also are considered to be the most energy efficient cooking options since they consume less power and produce no residual heat. They could interfere with medical devices, such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.
We recommend choosing a premium induction stove with an integrated extractor. This will eliminate smoke and odours while you cook. It can also be used with a broad variety of cooking utensils. Choose one with a dual flex zone. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.
Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option for those looking for a durable hob that will repel hard-wearing staining. This coating guards against chips, scratches and stains and, according to Hotpoint it is five times more durable than their conventional ceramic coating. You should still employ a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of food residues that have been burned, but avoid any cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.
Electric Hobs
Modern and practical electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can be easily integrated into any decor. Their efficient heating also makes them a perfect option for busy families.
In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs employ an element that floats through the ceramic glass and directly heats whatever is sat on top of it. They are also less expensive to run as they can be switched off when not in use, saving your money on energy bills.
However, it's important note that not all hobs are created equal. Some hobs are more advanced, with features like an automatic safety shut-off as well as a digital display which clearly shows the power level and temperature and cooking time. Certain models also include a boost function that increases the speed of the element for more power.
Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it easier to clean than a gas model. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters, they are easily cleaned away, meaning your hob will remain in good condition for a longer time.
Electric hobs are an excellent option for families. However when you wear pacemakers, you are not able to 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 want to use their devices with a compatible cookware set, which can be purchased from our tried and tested selection of kitchen equipment.
