Types of Hob and Oven

A hob and oven is an essential part of many kitchens, and comes in a variety of styles. You can mix different types of ovens, like gas and electric to meet your needs.

A hob can also have safety features, such as child and position controls. They can stop children from touching the stove and stop them from changing the temperature settings in error.

Types

The hob is the focal feature of any kitchen, and can have a significant impact on the results of your cooking. There are many different types of hobs oven available, and which one you pick will depend on the cooking requirements you have.

Gas hobs are a classic option and provide a quick heating function and instant response to temperature changes. They are a popular option for professional chefs because they are precise in their control. However, they are not as clean as other hobs and may require more maintenance.

Electric hobs are a flat ceramic surface with heated elements underneath and can be found in a variety of sizes with between four and six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element that you can control individually. This lets you boil potatoes on one ring while cooking sausages in a different. This type of hob is easier to warm up than gas, and is the safety of children as the cooking zone becomes hot only when you place an oven hob on it.

Traditional ceramic hobs are an extremely user-friendly alternative to electric and gas and are also a very elegant choice. They are smooth and durable. surface which is easy to clean, but they aren't as responsive to temperature fluctuations as other hobs, and may be slower to cool down.

Domino hobs can be a space-saving alternative to electric and gas hobs that combine ovens below the cooking surface. They can be installed in smaller kitchens with little space for installation and are ideal for flats and kitchenettes. They are usually less expensive than a standard cooker and are energy efficient however they can be brittle and require more attention than other types of cookers.

Gas

A gas hob is a cooking surface with burners that can be fitted into kitchen countertops for seamless appearance. They are typically used with natural or the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) however they can be powered by propane gas. The sleek, modern design can add sophistication to your cooking space that is modular.

A traditional gas stove is fitted with a variety of burners. There are usually four burners, however it can be up to six. The burners can be ignited with a match or knob. The flames are then controlled by a series of valves that can be adjusted to control the temperature.

Most modern built-in gas stoves, on the other hand, have burners with multiple flames. This allows you to control both the inner and outer rings for each burner, so that you can precisely control your cooking. These burners are much faster and more reliable than earlier models.

In the past, it was essential for a gas stove to be constantly lit to ensure that the burners remained hot and fueled. This was a safety measure to prevent any accidents like not turning off the oven when the stove was lit by a match or a the pilot flame. Modern cookers have been made with safety in mind as a top priority. They come equipped with a device to stop the flame that shuts off the burners if the pilot light fails.

Gas stoves and hobs need to be inspected, cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. To achieve this, it is recommended to arrange a visit with an Gas Safe registered engineer. They will not only be able to ensure that your appliance is operating properly, but will also offer expert advice on how you can prevent any future issues.

Electric

When it comes to creating your perfect kitchen the worktops, fridge freezer and oven will always receive the most attention, however the quality of your hob is also essential. The type of hob that you choose will affect the way your kitchen works and also how easy it is for you to clean.

Electric hobs have heating elements set beneath a smooth glass surface. The glass surface is typically cleaned with a nonabrasive cleaner. These elements are activated when you turn on the hob and can be adjusted to various power levels using a control knob. It may take them some time to warm up, but once they have they have a tendency to offer more reliable and consistent temperature control. They come with built-in indicators that tell you whether a space is hot or not.

Typically, they come in four to six different sizes of rings which can be adjusted to various power levels. These are great for flat-based cookware but not for cast iron cookware, since they can get hot. Certain models (such as Belling BELCH602T) have dual-ring designs that let you cook sausages and boil water on the same ring. Some even have a 'boost' function that concentrates high-powered heat into one ring to stir fry cooking sauteing meats, searing or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs differ from standard electric models because they employ electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware, rather than the conventional method of gas flames. This enables them to achieve precise temperatures in a short space of time and makes them highly energy efficient. They also have a cool-to-the-touch surface and flashing heat indicators that inform you that the ring is either being used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramic is an ingredient that can be used to create functional or decorative objects. It's formed by mixing earthen elements, clay powders, water and other elements to the desired shape, then subsequently fired in a high-temperature oven called a kiln. Once it's been made, it can then be coated or painted with decorative materials to give it texture and colour.

Ceramic hobs are a beautiful blend of function and form that can be easily integrated into any modern kitchen. They operate using radiant heating technology, passing an electric current through the coiled elements hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. These generate heat when activated. This is then transferred to the pan through an infrared system. You can adjust the strength of this heating by adjusting the controls with touch or knobs.

Some ceramic hobs are dual ring designs that have one smaller and a larger cooking area that lets you select the best hobs size for your pan. You can also get hobs equipped with booster burners that generate high-powered heat rapidly ideal for searing meat or bringing pans of boiling water to a boil in a short time.

Compared to other types of hobs ceramic cooktops take a little longer to warm up and alter temperature, but once they do they're generally more energy-efficient. You can also choose vented hobs, which integrate a ventilation system with the ceramic cooktop. This ensures that steam, smoke and cooking smells don't stay in your home.

Induction

Induction hobs are equipped with heating elements that are made up of copper wire coils. These coils generate electromagnets which warm the pans that are placed on the top. The coils stir up the free electrons inside the base of your pot and then transfer heat efficiently and hob and oven directly to your food. The surface of the stove never gets hot and, as soon as you remove your pan the cooking zones switch off automatically.

Induction hobs oven tend to be more expensive than other hobs, but they're also faster to heat and use 30-70 percent less energy than ceramic or gas hobs. Induction hobs are also less difficult to clean since only the inside of the pan are heated but not the surface.

Certain manufacturers have an induction model with additional features, for instance the pause feature, which cuts the power to your stove after you have left, or the ability to connect two cooking rings at the same power for more flexibility. They are often referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They may be more costly than traditional induction models, however, they're worth considering if multitasking is important to you.

Our favorite is this induction cooktop from Smeg. It has four cooking zones that are large enough, a bridge function and nine power levels, giving you plenty of choice for the ambitious cook. It did well in our tests with a fast heating speed and precise control when making pancakes. The hob also has an integrated dishwasher as well as an automatic pan detection function to make cleaning easier. The only problem is that there are only a handful of compatible pans that can use it to cook using appliances with magnetic bases. This could be a problem when you have a lot of non-compliant cookware, or just some of them are suitable for induction cooktops.
