Types of Hobs
A hob (known as stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans using electricity or flames. There are several different types of hobs available, so you can choose one that fits your style and kitchen.
Induction hobs are equipped with an elongated ceramic surface and a range of four or five zones to heat your pans. Modern touch-operated designs are sleek and fashionable, and they are easy to clean.
Ceramic hobs
Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek look. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and can easily be cleaned up when spills or splatters happen. They also heat up very quickly and are energy efficient, which can help to reduce your electricity bills. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow in changing temperatures, which can be frustrating if you're cooking something that requires immediate reduction or increase in heat.
Electric hobs use a solid plate that is heated by electric elements under. These elements can be controlled individually by rotary knobs and nipped to the power level you require. You can even use the boost feature to increase the temperature of a single zone. Ceramic hobs are able to hold heat well, and even after they have been turned off, they will be hot to the touch. This can be a problem when you have children, so it's recommended to install them in an area that is away from objects that are flammable and not within reach of children.
This kind of hob can be mounted on a variety of worktops such as laminate and solid hardwood as well as granite. It's also quite affordable and can be an excellent alternative if you are looking to replace your stove without spending a large amount of money. As with all appliances, they must be installed correctly and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that your new hobs will be safe to use.
This kind of hob is sensitive to pan shapes and sizes. You'll need to buy cookware that's either exactly the same size as the element or that is able to fit in the heating zones on the hob. If the cookware isn't the same size as the element, it won't recognize it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and will make the hob less efficient.
Gas on glass hobs
Glass hobs with gas are a great choice for modern, sleek design. They can be more expensive than electric models, and require professional installation. However they are also more efficient in heating - the water in a full pot can typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This kind of stove is also a great option for cooks who prefer to limit the amount of heat being generated. Glass hobs are more prone to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to accumulate grease and sludge.
This Bertazzoni hob is a great example of gas on glass. It features four monobloc burners in matt black, with control knobs made of metal to create a sleek, elegant look. The wok ring is 4kW for additional versatility, and the pan supports are dishwasher-proof.
Another highly recommended model is this Bosch gas hob, which is a stylish slab of toughened glass and advanced cooking technology. The dual rings that are located to the left of the hob offers an inner flame that doubles to improve even heat distribution and speeds up cooking times. It also comes with an easy-to-read power level indicator that allows you to control the exact temperature of the flame. You can select from nine pre-set settings, like the highest setting for sear steaks and a lower one for scrambled eggs.
Our test participants also liked the controls, as they were simple and intuitive. A few minor issues are that you must press the controls nine times to reach the highest heating level, and that the glass can make it difficult to see the burners' actions.
Some of the best gas-on-glass hob s can be found at an affordable price like this Neff model. It's not going to win any design awards but it'll perform the task and be a great option for your kitchen at just over 120 dollars.
Electric hobs
There are many electric hobs that are ideal for modern homes. They not only offer a sleek design that fits into the rest of your kitchen and are also equipped with advanced functionality that is safer, quicker and more efficient than their predecessors in terms of energy consumption.
Ceramic glass hobs are among the most sought-after electric stoves. They're designed with a sleek, glazed finish and feature an easy-to-clean surface resistant to smudges and scratches. These hobs also come with a power booster feature that allows you to increase the heat for a brief duration.
Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. As opposed to traditional gas and electric plate hobs that use electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware. They are therefore more energy-efficient, and they offer precise temperature control. However, they require a specific type of pan to function and can be costly to install.
Gas on glass hobs are another great option for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob, it features an oven that is surrounded by an underlying layer of flat glass. The glass is heatproof and shatterproof, which makes it easier to clean than tempered glass. A majority of these hobs have a 'hot surface indicator', which informs you when the oven is hot.
Gas hobs are a popular choice for many home chefs However, they can be noisy and hard to clean. They can take a long time to heat up and cool down, and their flame can be hard to control. Electric hobs, on other hand are more efficient in energy use and easy to clean.
You can even find electric stoves that are compatible LPG gas. You can switch between various fuels, allowing you the flexibility to adapt to your lifestyle. However, it's important to keep in mind that these stoves must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and will require a specific 6mm cable in your kitchen. These hobs are also not suitable for people with pacemakers because the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.
Hobs with induction
Copper coils run an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction-compatible plate is placed on the hob, the coils create magnetic fields which direct heat the pan, instead of heating a surface of the worktop or a heated plate. Induction hobs are energy efficient, as they don't use any heat.
There are a myriad of models of an induction hob, from basic entry level ones with one cooking zone that is marked by rings to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction hobs with up to six zones and allow you to cook several pots at once on a flexible zone. Some of these models feature a slider control that is similar to the iPhone. Simply swipe your finger over the power bar in the middle to choose the desired heat level left to right increases heat and right-to-left decreases it. Certain models can even be programmed with settings for certain recipes or food types which can save you time and effort in the kitchen.
Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than ceramic hobs, but they are considered to be more efficient in the long run since they heat up faster and have a smaller surface for heating up which can help lower your energy costs. They also cool down faster and have a more secure design without hot plates, which makes them perfect for families with children or elderly people living in the home. However, they do generate magnetic forces that can interfere with certain medical devices such as pacemakers. It is therefore crucial to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans on larger burners.
Like all electric hobs, you'll have to clean your electric hob regularly, as food and debris can accumulate over time. You can either use a standard oven cleaner or purchase a specialist one to keep your stove in good condition and shiny for longer. It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaning products or a scouring pad on your stove as they may scratch the surface.
