Types of Oven Hob A hob is a flat, elevated surface that is used to heat pans and pots. There are a variety of types of hobs, such as electric, gas, and induction. Things to look out for include rotary, touch and control of the position. These controls let you control heating zones by pressing one button. They also prevent them from being smashed down easily, especially when they are used by children. Ovens & Hobs offer style and functionality in a contemporary kitchen. However the glossy surface is prone to stains and scratches caused by cooking and food residues that are burned on. To ensure that your stove looks good and working efficiently it is essential to maintain a regular cleaning routine. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or a scrubbing pad. Hobs of this kind are heated by passing an electric current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface which generate heat when activated through control knobs. Certain models feature a radiant element that emits heat across the glass surface. Others employ halogen elements, which are much more powerful and will heat the entire surface in a series of pulses, making them especially ideal for cooking in short time. A lot of our ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, such as residual heat indicators which alert you when the surface is hot to the touch to prevent burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks to prevent children from accidentally changing the settings. It is crucial to choose the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that your pans are flat-bottomed, which helps to ensure even heat distribution and helps to avoid hot spots that can cause under or overcooked food. You should also avoid dragging pans across the surface as this could scratch the tempered glass. We recommend ceramic hobs that have a dual-ring design, or the 'I Flex' zone. It can be used to accommodate two single pots or one large pan. You'll need a pan with minimum dimensions of 30cm to register. Alternatively, we also offer models that have a booster burner for rapid heating of specific areas or pots – ideal for stir-fry or searing steak. Some models have an automatic shut-off function that turns off the hob at a set time to avoid overheating. This is a wonderful security feature that can give you peace of peace of. This function is activated by pressing 'Power on the control panel when the appliance has reached its maximum temperature. Gas Hobs Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves, or gas cookers, are kitchen appliances that use flammable natural gas or the liquefied petrol gas (LPG) for their fuel. The flame heats both the cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. The design of the elevated gas hob offers additional security by preventing the body from coming in contact with the flame, thus reducing the possibility of burning. However, this elevated construction requires particular care when cleaning and using the hob to prevent accidentally spilling liquids on the burners. The burners of a traditional gas hob are operated manually and lit by a a match. Modern models have an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is ignited in a controlled manner. The flame can be controlled with the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the level of heat. Based on the model, a few gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners for increased cooking flexibility. Gas hobs require a constant gas supply, which can be problematic if you live in a place that has a non-reliable or unstable supply. Gas hobs also require frequent maintenance in order to prevent leaks and corrosion. Hobs made of gas should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who will ensure that the installation is safe and follow strict safety protocols. While induction and electric hobs are becoming more popular however, there is a significant market for gas appliances in some regions. This is due to consumer preference and concerns about the environment and local energy prices and availability. It is important to consider the cost of utility and infrastructure before selecting a kitchen style. Hobs Induction Induction hobs are the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, modern kitchen. They use magnetism to warm the pans, not a heated plate or burning gas underneath. Under the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible saucepan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense the magnetic base and generate heat directly into the cooker or the pan itself. This is much faster than traditional gas stoves and more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surface is cool and cool to touch and easy to clean. Induction hobs are designed to be easier than gas counterparts to clean. A simple wipe with an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking fresh as new. The biggest drawback to cooking induction is that you'll need to have the right cookware. All pans, including cast iron stainless steel, non-stick, must have a magnetized base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible. A range of induction stoves is available, ranging from budget models to top brands that come with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob will show the pan's location in full-color when it is placed in the power zone. A control button or slider allows you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are also smart accessories available, including pan sensors that stick to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob via bluetooth to regulate the power in a precise manner. One of our most adored models is an induction hob which comes with an integrated extractor fan to reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space as it does not require an extractor fan. It uses magnetic fields that are within the kilohertz frequency range to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation at the distance of 5-10 centimetres, these fields comply with the reference value for magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health effects are expected. Electric Hobs The top electric hobs offer an elegant look and are designed to fit most kitchen designs. They are a good option for those who like the ease of use of touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to fit your cooking needs. They are mostly made of glass which is easy to clean and can also look stylish if you opt for a black or white design. Some models feature the option of combining two zones to accommodate larger pans, while others come with an additional power boost button that provides extra heat for tasks that require a lot of effort. Induction hobs are growing in popularity because they offer a modern and clean design that is in keeping with modern kitchen designs. They cook quickly and provide the highest level of security. For example they tend to cool faster than gas cookers. They also have a 'hot' indicator light that remains on to warn you when the cooking area is hot to the surface. They also tend to be more efficient due to the fact that the magnetic field generates heat under the pan itself which means you're not heating the air around it. There are some things to think about when selecting an electric hob. The majority of them require an electric power source that is paired with the correct cables and breakers. We suggest installing it by a qualified electrical contractor. Induction hobs can be expensive and you'll have to purchase a set compatible induction pans if you want to get the most benefit from them. They can also be more expensive to operate because they generally consume more energy than other hobs.
