Types of [ovens hobs](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/)
|
||||
|
||||
Hobs are the heart of any kitchen, no matter if you're boiling the kettle or roasting chicken. There are a variety of designs and sizes to choose from and a variety of hob types, including ceramic, electric and domino.
|
||||
|
||||
Electric hobs are easy to clean and feature smooth surfaces. However they take a long time to warm up or cool down. These hobs work only with pans with flat bottoms. They might also have heat indicators.
|
||||
|
||||
Ceramic Hobs
|
||||
|
||||
Ceramic hobs have revolutionised the way we cook, offering a sleek and stylish aesthetic whilst remaining easy to use. They function with heating elements that are placed under the glass surface that is tempered to distribute heat quickly and evenly across your cookware. Ceramic hobs are available in a range of styles, from traditional gas burners to contemporary electric zones, with the majority featuring a black glazed finish that is tough and durable against scratches and chips.
|
||||
|
||||
The smooth flat surfaces of these stoves are easy to clean and wash in one sweep - you can even use standard kitchen cleaner products. They don't feature open flames so are a safer option for those who have young children or elderly relatives in the home. Typically, they feature controls that can be rotary or touch to ensure safety as well as a residual heat indicator that alerts you if the area is still hot after the pan is removed from the stove.
|
||||
|
||||
They are more expensive than an electric hob, however, they are cheaper than induction models. They are an option for those who do not have gas at their home. As with induction models, they are more efficient than other kinds of hobs but only if your cookware has an elongated base that maximizes the surface contact with the elements. Pans and pots that are not EXACTLY the same size as the element will not be recognized by the heating system, and therefore will not function correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
It is crucial to employ a certified electrician install your ceramic hob, because working with electricity can be possible to be dangerous if the installation isn't done properly. If you do not have your ceramic stove professionally installed could invalidate the warranty and result in future fire hazards. It's a small price to pay for peace of mind and knowing that your new cooktop is safe to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Gas Hobs
|
||||
|
||||
A gas hob, or a gas cooktop, is powered by natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and is typically built into your kitchen countertop or kitchen unit. The burners can be lit manually with a lighter or match. They are controlled by knobs to regulate the heat while cooking. The main benefit of gas hobs is that they give instant heat when compared to electric models and can be used for all kinds of cooking, from simmering and boiling to frying or sauteing.
|
||||
|
||||
Gas hobs come with the disadvantage of requiring ventilation and gas supply system to function. This makes them more costly to set up and could not be as efficient as induction hobs. They also pose a security risk since they are powered by flammable gases and require regular maintenance to check for gas leaks.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs are yet another popular option. They use electromagnetic technology to directly heat your pans. This lets them boil water faster than gas models, and offer precise temperature control. Induction hobs are only compatible with induction-compatible pots and can be more expensive than other kinds of hobs.
|
||||
|
||||
Other alternatives include a ceramic glass hob that has an elegant appearance and is easy to clean. It is available on both electric and induction models and is usually the ideal choice for those who want a sleek, modern finish to their kitchen. It's important to note that this type of model can get very hot and takes longer to cool and heat than gas or electric models.
|
||||
|
||||
Freestanding gas hobs or stoves are a more conventional choice that is suitable for kitchens with large spaces and open-plan designs where they can be an eye-catching feature. It requires a designated space and is installed by an experienced professional. Gas connections can be dangerous if not handled properly.
|
||||
|
||||
Hobs Induction
|
||||
|
||||
A popular choice for those who want a sleek and efficient way to cook, induction hobs utilize electromagnetic induction technology to warm pans. Under the glass surface are coils that, when a compatible pot is placed on them, create a magnetic field that creates an electric current to flow through its base. This produces heat that rapidly warms the food inside the pan while the cooktop stays cool.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs are also known for being much more energy efficient than traditional gas or electric models. Because they produce heat directly where the pan is located, this reduces the amount of residual heat that is wasted and also helps save on energy costs. Many induction hobs have an safety feature that shuts the appliance off if there is no pan or when it is removed. This helps reduce the amount of energy wasted.
|
||||
|
||||
Like gas hobs, induction models come with various types of controls that include slide, dial and touchscreen controls. A slider control is similar to a standard cooker knob and allows you to adjust the power level with one simple motion. A dial control is similar, and has a large dial that can be turned to select the setting you want. Touchscreen hobs are another option, typically used on higher-end and more advanced induction models. They have a clear digital display which makes it easy to read and alter settings.
|
||||
|
||||
As an extra piece of technology, induction hobs can be fitted with extractors built-in, which work together with the hood to draw smoke and steam from the kitchen and prevent condensation and mould. They can be operated separately from the rest of the appliance and are usually activated by sensors or buttons or sensor, and can be programmed to automatically switch on when a pan is placed on the cooking zone.
|
||||
|
||||
The main disadvantage of induction hobs is they require a specific type of cookware to function. The bottom of the pot has to have a magnetic base in order to be able to create the electromagnetic induction process, and even then it's not guaranteed to work with all models. Cast iron, stainless steel with a magnetic base, and certain non-stick pans are commonly used in conjunction with induction hobs, although you should always follow the instructions of the manufacturer to make sure the pan you are using is compatible before buying a new model.
|
||||
|
||||
Domino Hobs
|
||||
|
||||
The versatility of a domino stove is ideal for those with smaller kitchens but are looking to experiment with cooking styles. You can build an open kitchen by mixing and matching two-zone gas, ceramic and induction domino stoves. There's even a Siemens grill.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest of hob types Solid plate hobs make use of electric elements that are heated by sealed metal plates, which then heat your cookware. They are affordable, simple to use and durable. They may take a while to cool and heat up, and are more expensive to operate than other types of hobs.
|
||||
|
||||
A popular alternative to solid plate hobs is the halogen model that uses a row glowing halogen bulbs set on the glass ceramic surface to generate heat. This kind of hob is fast and responsive since the bulbs glow quickly and transfer heat directly into the pan. However, halogen hobs may be prone to damage due to scraping against the hard-wearing surface, and are also less energy efficient than other types of hob.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs, which is a new kind of hob that is becoming increasingly popular, use electromagnetic technology to heat cooking zones rather than the surface. They are more affordable and green than other types of hobs, but they can be more expensive than gas and require specific induction compatible cookware.
|
||||
|
||||
Ceramic hobs, with their flat design that blends seamlessly into your worktops are a fashionable and contemporary choice. They provide a smoother experience to the cooking area. They are also easy to clean, with an easy-to-clean surface that requires no special cleaning products. Some models sport a chic frameless look and can be customized with dials or touch controls depending on your preferences.
|
||||
|
||||
When buying a new stove, make sure you look for features such as overheat protection. This turns off the heating element once it gets to a dangerous temperature. Also, you should look for residual heat indicators, which will alert you if your hob is too hot to point of contact and can cause burns. Also, a pause feature lets you temporarily disable all active cooking zones and is useful when you need to leave the kitchen for a while.
