A hob and oven hob is commonplace in kitchens and is available in many different styles. You can mix different types of ovens, such as electric and gas to meet your requirements.

A hob could also have safety features like child and control of the position. These features can stop children from accidentally altering the temperature setting or touching the hob.

Types

In the heart of every kitchen, the hob takes centre stage and can play a huge role in the way your food is executed. There are many different types of hobs available, and which one you pick will depend on the needs of your kitchen.

Gas hobs provide a classic option. They are quick to heat up and react immediately to temperature changes. Professional chefs prefer them because they are precise in their control. They are not as easy to clean as other stoves and may require more maintenance.

Electric hobs feature a flat ceramic surface and heated elements beneath. They come in a variety of sizes and come with up to six cooking zones. Each zone is equipped with its own heating element, which can be controlled individually by you. This lets you boil potatoes on one ring whilst making sausages in another. This type of hob is easier to start heating than gas, and also offers a safer alternative for children since the cooking zone is heated only when you put the pot on it.

Ceramic hobs are a fashionable and user-friendly option to electric and gas hobs. They have a smooth, hard-wearing surface that is easy wipe down but aren't as quick to respond to temperature fluctuations as other hobs and can be slower to cool down.

The Domino hob is an alternative to gas and electric hobs. It incorporates ovens under the cooking surface. They are great for kitchens with little space. They can also be used in kitchenettes and flats. They tend to be cheaper than conventional hobs and can be energy efficient, but they are also prone to breaking and require greater maintenance.

Gas

A gas hob is a cooktop with burners that can be fitted on kitchen countertops to give a seamless look. They are usually powered by natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) however they can be powered by propane gas. The modern, sleek design can enhance your cooking space that is modular.

A traditional gas stove comes with various burners, typically 4 but often as many as 6. The burners can be ignited with a match or knob. The flames can then be controlled by a set of valves which can be adjusted in temperature.

In contrast, most modern built-in gas hobs have multi-flame burners that let you control the inner and outer rings of each burner to precisely manage your cooking. These types of burners allow for much faster heat up times and are more reliable than the older models.

In the past, it was required for the gas stove to be lit at all times to ensure that the burners were hot and fueled. This was done to avoid accidents, for example, not turning on the oven when the stove is still lit by an igniter or a match. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and have a built-in flame failure device that shuts off burners immediately should the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs require to be regularly checked, cleaned and maintained. The best hob method to ensure this is to arrange a maintenance visit with a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Not only will they be able to make sure your appliance is functioning properly, but they can also provide expert advice and suggestions on how to avoid problems in the near future.

Electricity

When it comes time to design your dream kitchen, the kitchen worktops, fridge freezer, and oven will always receive the most attention but the quality of your hob is equally important. Whether you opt for a conventional, induction or gas cooker, the kind of hob you pick will affect how your kitchen operates and how easy it is to clean.

Electric hobs use heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface which is typically wiped down with a non-abrasive cleaning agent. The elements turn on when you turn the hob on and can be notched up to various power levels by turning or pressing on a knob. It can take them a little bit longer to get heated up, but once they have they are in place, they provide more reliable and consistent temperature control. They come with built-in indicators that inform you if a zone is hot or not.

These rings are available in a range of four to six sizes and can be notch-up to various power levels. They are ideal for flat-based cookware, but not for cast iron pans, since they can get hot. Some models have dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that allow you to boil water on one ring while you saute sausages on a different. Some models come with a Boost function that concentrates high heat into one ring. This is great for stir-frying, searing meat, or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs differ from standard electric models as they use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware rather than the conventional method of gas flames. This allows them to reach precise temperatures in a short space of time and makes them highly energy efficient. They also have a cool-to touch surface and flashing heat indicators to signal that a ring is in use or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramics can be used to make functional or hob and oven decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders and water, and then firing it in a high-temperature oven, also known as Kiln. Once it's been made, it can then be coated or painted with decorative materials to add texture and colour.

Ceramic hobs are a stunning blend of function and form and can be found in any modern kitchen. They work by using radiant heating technology that passes an electric current through coiled components hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. When they are activated, they create heat which is then transferred to your pan through an infrared system. You can alter the intensity of the heating by using the knobs or the touch controls.

Some ceramic hobs come with dual-ring designs, having one smaller and a larger cooking area that lets you select the best size for your pan. You can also buy hobs with boosters that produce powerful heat quickly. This is perfect to cook food in or bring pans to a boil quickly.

Compared to other types of hobs ceramic cooktops typically take longer to heat up and then change temperature however once they do, they're generally more energy-efficient. You can also select vented hobs, which integrate a ventilation system with the ceramic cooktop. This ensures that smoke, steam and cooking smells do not linger in your house.

Induction

Induction hobs contain heating elements that are composed of copper wire coils. The coils create electromagnets, which heat the pans placed on the top of them. The coils stir the free electrons inside the base metal of your pan, which then transfers heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove never gets hot and, the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones are turned off automatically.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive, however they also are more efficient in heating and consume 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other types. They're also easier to clean because the surface of the hob doesn't get hot and only the contents of your pan do.

Certain manufacturers offer a specific induction model that comes with additional features such as the ability to pause that cuts off power to your hob whenever you move away from it, or connect two cooking rings at the same power level to provide greater flexibility. These are often called FlexInduction hobs. They are more expensive than traditional models, however they're worth a look if you are a multi-tasker.

This induction hob is our favorite. It comes with four large cooking zones, a Bridge function, and nine power settings, which gives you a variety of options for cooks who want to be more adventurous. In our tests, it performed very well with precise control and rapid heating when making pancakes. The cooker also comes with dishwasher built-in and an automatic pan detection function to make cleaning even simpler. There's a small selection of compatible pans, however, and it can't be used to cook using appliances that have a magnetic base. This can be a problem if you have a lot of non-compliant cookware, or just some of it is suitable for use on induction hobs.
