Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen? Oven hobs are the heart of any kitchen. There are many options. We have a range of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six, and some with additional features such as pan supports. They heat up and cool down quickly and have a uniform temperatures on the cooking surface. Professional chefs typically prefer them because they are simple to control. Gas Hobs Gas hobs are a very popular option. They feature burner rings and grates that pots and pans rest on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They can handle a broad variety of cooking techniques from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric ones as they utilise a natural gas supply. They are available in different finishes like stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give them an elegant and contemporary look, which can complement any kitchen design. However, they can be prone to scorching and scratching and scratching, so it's crucial to be extra careful when cleaning them. Regular cleaning is essential to keep your stove in top condition. This is especially important if you own 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 scrub gently. You can also make a mild paste out of baking soda and use it to remove stubborn staining without damaging the surface. Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances, built-in gas hobs are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can also be mounted on a separate base, making them simple to move if you move home or change your kitchen layout. However, incorporating an gas hob into your kitchen requires lots of work in construction and professional installation. Gas hobs are available in a variety of finishes. From the classic white and black to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in many different styles. Some even come in a stunning green or blue colour to add some individuality to your kitchen. Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been used for a long time. They provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. They also are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid any accidents, it is vital to follow safety guidelines and follow proper ventilation. Another safety benefit of gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply once the flame of the burner goes out. This prevents accidental explosions or burns. Ceramic Hobs A ceramic hob has a sleek, modern appearance and is relatively easy to heat up and clean. They come in a variety of styles, from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional square and rectangular shapes, so there's a design to suit most kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. Many also have residual heat indicators built in which shut off the area when it is too hot to touch. This can reduce the chance of burns and is particularly useful when your children are still young. However, the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to scratches and chips. It is worse when you drag the pans across instead of lifting them using their handles. We recommend that you take extra care when handling and moving your cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend that you do not use magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs since they can cause damage to the surface. Another disadvantage of a ceramic stove is that it may take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This can be a hassle when you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. However there are many manufacturers who have worked on this and now offer various hobs that reduce cooling time by up to 30%. Induction Hobs Induction hobs heat up the fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe as they don't hold heat on the cooking zones, but there is a cost to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other options. Hobs Induction A popular choice for kitchen renovations Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They cool faster than traditional hobs and are therefore easier to clean. Copper coils are located beneath the glossy, smooth glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is passed through them. The coils are activated via magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed over the cooking area. You can cook more efficiently because the pan doesn't lose heat. You'll find an induction hob that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that is easy to control, you might select a model with a full touchscreen display which shows the position of the pan on every zone. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough menu of operation, altering the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types – a great feature to cut down on time and effort while cooking. Induction hobs are also considered to be the most energy efficient cooking options, as they use less electricity and produce no residual heat. They can interfere with medical devices like pacemakers because they produce magnetic fields. Our recommendation is to choose an induction hob that is top-quality and has an integrated extractor. It removes smoke, steam and odours out of the air while you cook, so it can be used with a larger choice of cookerware. You'll also get the most price for your money if opt for dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left hand side to accommodate larger pans. If you're looking for a hard-wearing hob that can resist tough stains, try models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coat. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains. According to Hotpoint it is five times more durable than their standard ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, you can use a nonabrasive cleaning agent or scrub pads. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents which could scratch the surface of the ceramic. Electric Hobs Elegant and practical electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. Their sleek design allows them to blend seamlessly in any decor and their efficient heating makes them an easy option for busy households. In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and then directly warms the food that is placed on top of it. They're also more economical to run, as they can be shut off when not in use – saving your money on energy bills. It's important to remember that not all hobs have the same features. Certain hobs are more modern equipped with features like automatic safety shutdown as well as a digital display which clearly shows power levels and temperatures, as well as cooking time. Certain models come with a boost feature that increases the performance and speed of the element. Best ovens are also simpler to clean because of their flat surface. With no grates to scrubbing, spillages and splatters can be easily cleaned, meaning your hob will remain in good shape for a longer period of time. Electric hobs are an excellent choice for families. However when you wear a pacemaker you cannot use this type of hob since its electromagnetic field can interfere with the device. Induction hobs are a better alternative for those who require a compatible cookware, which you can buy from our kitchen accessories. Foster models are the perfect option if you're looking for a durable and high-quality oven hob. You can choose from a range of finishes and colours. To learn more contact our team today.
