Which oven and hob Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are at the heart of any kitchen and there are numerous choices available. We have a range of cooking rings from four to six, with some with additional features, such as pan supports.

They can heat up quickly and cool down quickly, with even cooking surface temperature. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

A well-liked option, gas hobs come with burner rings as well as a grate that pots and pans are placed on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can also accommodate a variety of cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric hobs since they are powered by natural gas sources.

They're available in a vast range of finishes, including stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes provide an elegant and contemporary look that will complement any kitchen design. They are prone to scorching and scratches which is why you must be extra careful when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning will help keep your stove in top condition. This is especially crucial if you have an older style freestanding model. For a deeper clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and gently scrub. Alternatively, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to remove tough stains without harming the surface.

Contrary to traditional gas stoves which are appliances that stand on their own, built-in gas hobs can be integrated into the kitchen countertop, providing a seamless look. They can be placed on a separate foundation, so they are simple to move when you change the layout of your kitchen. Gas hobs require a lot of work and professional installation to be put in your kitchen.

Similar to other types of cooktops gas hobs come in a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional white and black to contemporary glossy glass. Some are even available in a stunning green or blue color to add a splash of individuality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for decades and are a reliable and safe alternative. Gas hobs are energy-efficient, provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. However, it is important to ensure proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

Gas hobs also have a flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame goes out. This can prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have an elegant, modern look and they're relatively quick to warm up and clean. There are many styles to choose from, including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes like rectangles and squares. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators that turn off the zone if it's too hot to touch. This can help minimise the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially beneficial when you have children.

However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob can be prone to scratches and chips. This is a particular issue if you drag pans across it instead than lifting them up by their handles, and we recommend taking extra care when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend against using magnetic or metal cookware on a ceramic cooktop as it can cause damage to the surface.

Another disadvantage of a ceramic cooktop is that it takes longer than induction or gas to cool down. This is a problem if you are working in a bustling, noisy kitchen or wish to quickly change from one cooking zone to another. Numerous manufacturers have improved this ovens and hobs offer a range that can reduce cooling times by 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

Induction hobs heat up the fastest and are the most efficient choice available. They are extremely hygienic and safe as they don't keep heat in the cooking areas, but there's a price to pay for these advantages since they are more expensive than other alternatives.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs have become a popular choice for kitchen renovations. They're a stylish option to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan more than the ceramic/glass surface, which reduces energy consumption and making them safer to use. They also cool faster than traditional hobs, which means they're less difficult to clean.

Copper coils are located beneath the smooth, glossy ceramic or glass surface of an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is pushed through them. When a suitable pan is placed in the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat via magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently because the pan won't lose heat.

Many induction cooktops come with many features, so you'll surely find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something easy to control, you might select a model with a touchscreen that displays the location of the pan in every zone. Click on the display and Meal prep you'll be able access a thorough operating menu, change the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types which is a great way to save time and effort when cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option, as they use less electricity and produce no heat that remains. They could interfere with medical devices, such as pacemakers since they generate magnetic fields.

We suggest you choose a high-end induction stove that has an integrated extractor. It removes smoke, steam and odours from the air as you cook, so it can be used with a larger selection of cooking equipment. You'll also get the best hob value for money if you opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left hand side to make room for larger pans.

If you're looking for a hard-wearing hob that can resist staining, you should consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. This coating guards against scratches, chips and stains. According to the manufacturer, is five times stronger than their standard ceramic coating. To clean any food residues, you can use a nonabrasive cleaning agent or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that could scratch the surface of the ceramic.

Electric Hobs

Stylish and practical electric hobs are a popular feature in many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can be easily integrated into any decor. Their efficient heating makes them a great option for busy families.

Unlike gas, which burns a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that floats through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is on the top. They're also more economical to run, as they can be shut off when not in use - saving your money on energy bills.

However, it's important be aware that not all hobs are created equal. Certain hobs are more modern and include features such as automatic safety shutdown, a digital display, that clearly displays power levels and temperatures, as well as cooking time. Certain models come with an increase feature that increases the power and speed of the appliance.

Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface that makes it much cleaner than traditional gas models. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.

Electric hobs are a great choice for families. However should you have pacemakers, you can't make use of this type of stove because its electromagnetic field may interfere with the device.
