The Biggest Sources Of Inspiration Of Hobs Oven
Types of Hobs

A hob (known as stove top in North America) is a cooking appliance that heats pans by using electricity or flames. There are many different kinds of hobs, and you can choose one that suits your style and kitchen.

Induction hobs have flat cooking surfaces made of ceramic and include four or five zones for heating your pans. Modern touch-operated designs look elegant and chic and are easy to clean.

Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern, sleek appearance. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that's easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They heat up quickly and are energy-efficient and can lower your electricity bill. However, one disadvantage of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow to adjust the temperature, which can be frustrating when cooking food that requires a quick reduction or increase in heat.

Electric hobs are comprised of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. The power of each element can be adjusted individually by rotary knobs. You can use the Boost feature to boost the temperature of a certain zone. Ceramic hobs retain heat very well, so even when they have been turned off, they will be hot to the touch. It is important to put ceramic hobs in an area that is safe from any flammable objects and away from children's reach.

This type of hob can be mounted on a variety of worktops such as laminate, solid hardwood and granite. It is also relatively affordable and can be a great alternative if you're trying to replace your old hobs without spending a lot of money. Like all appliances, they need to be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure your new hobs are safe to use.

The downside to this kind of hob is that it's sensitive to the size of the pan and shape. You will need to purchase cookware that is exactly the same as the element or fits comfortably in all of the heating zones. If the cookware doesn't match, then the element will not recognise it and won't begin to heat up the base 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 may require professional installations. However they heat up faster - an entire pot of water will typically boil in less than 4 minutes. This type of hob is also a great choice for cooks who like to limit the amount of heat generated. Glass hobs are more prone to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they are more likely to accumulate grease and residue.

This Bertazzoni hob is a great example of gas on glass. It comes with four monobloc burners in matt black with metal control knobs to give it a chic, sophisticated finish. It also includes an oblong wok ring with 4kW for added versatility, plus pan supports that are dishwasher-safe and easy to clean.

This Bosch gas hob is a highly recommended model. It is a sleek piece of toughened glass and cutting-edge cooking technology. The dual ring design on the left of the gas hob has a double inner burner to increase heat distribution and speed up cooking. It also has a handy power indicator that helps you to control the exact temperature of the flame. You can choose between nine preset settings, including the highest setting for sear steaks and a low one for scrambled egg.

Our test participants also liked the controls, as they were simple and easy to use. There are a few minor disadvantages, for instance, you must press the controls a further nine times to reach the maximum heating level and that the glass can make it difficult to discern the burners' actions.

A few of the top gas-on-glass hobs are available for affordable prices, such as this Neff model. While it's unlikely to win any design awards but it can do the job well and can be an ideal addition to your kitchen for less than 120 pounds.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are ideal for modern homes. They're not just elegant and stylish, but they are also more efficient, safer and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

One of the most sought-after electric hobs is the ceramic glass hob. These hobs are designed with an elegant glazed finish and feature a surface that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches. They're also usually fitted with a power boost function that allows you to increase the temperature of your stove for a short period of time.

Induction hobs are yet another electric hob that is perfect for modern homes. Induction hobs heat your cookware directly by using electromagnetic fields, unlike traditional gas and electric plates. This means they are more energy-efficient and offer precise temperature control. They require a special kind of pan and can be costly to set up.


Gas on glass hobs are another great option for modern homes. Similar to a traditional gas hob, it comes with an oven that is surrounded by an underlying layer of flat glass. However the glass is heat-resistant and shatterproof, which means it's much simpler to clean than glass that's tempered. Many of these hobs also include a 'hot-surface indicator' that warns you when the hob is hot.

Although gas hobs are a popular option for many home cooks however, they can be noisy and difficult to clean. They also take time to heat up and cool down and their flame can be difficult to control. Electric hobs on the other side, are more efficient in energy use and are easier to clean.

There are electric stoves that work with LPG gas. This allows you to switch between various fuel sources, meaning you'll have the flexibility to suit your lifestyle. However, it's important to remember that these hobs must be installed by a gas safe registered engineer and will require a 6mm cable to be installed in your kitchen. They're not suitable for those with pacemakers as the electromagnetic field could interfere with them.

Beneath the glass surface of induction hobs are copper coils which run an electrical current that is alternating. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on a hob, the coils produce magnetic fields that generate heat directly inside the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or an insulated plate (electric). Induction hobs are efficient in energy use, since they don't use any heat.

There are a myriad of models of induction stoves from the basic entry-level ones with a single zone identified by rings, to more sophisticated multi-zoned induction stoves with up to 6 zones that allow multiple pots to be cooked simultaneously on one flex area. Some of these premium models come with a touch slider control that is very similar to the way you use on an iPhone. You can select the desired temperature by swiping your finger from left to right over the power bar located in the middle. Some models have pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food types that can help you save time and effort in the kitchen.

Induction hobs can be more expensive than ceramic hobs. However, they are believed to be more efficient in the long run because they heat up quicker and use a smaller space for heating up which can help lower your energy costs. They cool down faster and also are safer than traditional hobs that do not have hot plates. This makes them ideal for families with children or elderly residents. However, they do create a magnetic force that could interfere with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers. It is therefore important to center the pans and avoid using smaller pans with larger burners.

As with all electric hobs, you'll need to keep your electric hob clean, as food and debris can build up over time. You can either make use of a basic oven cleaner or invest in a professional one to keep your stove in good shape and shiny for longer. Be sure to not use abrasive cleaners or pads to scour your induction cooker as they could scratch the surface.
