Types of Hob and Oven

A oven and hob is an essential part of many kitchens, and comes in many different styles. You can even mix types such as domino, electric and gas to meet your cooking requirements.

A hob may also have safety features, such as child and control of the position. These are designed to prevent children from touching the stove and prevent them from changing the temperature settings by accident.

Types

The hob is the focal feature of any kitchen, and has a huge impact on the outcome of your cooking. There are many different types of hobs, and which one you choose depends on the needs of your kitchen.

Gas hobs provide a classic option. They are quick to heat up and react immediately to temperature fluctuations. They are a favorite choice for chefs who are professional as they are precise in their control. However, they're not as easy to clean as other hobs, and they may require a higher degree of maintenance.

Electric hobs are made of ceramic with a flat surface with heated elements underneath. They come in various sizes and have four to six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element which you can regulate individually. This lets you boil potatoes on one ring whilst cooking sausages in another. This type of hob is able to be quicker to heat than gas and offers a child-safe option because the cooking zone only heats up when you put a pan on it.

Ceramic hobs offer a stylish and user-friendly alternative to gas and electric hobs. They have an extremely smooth and durable surface that is easy to clean. However, they are not as fast to respond to temperature changes or to cool down as other hobs.

Domino hobs can be a space-saving alternative to electric and gas hobs that have ovens underneath the cooking surface. They can be installed in smaller kitchens that have little space for installation and are ideal for flats and kitchenettes. They tend to be less expensive than standard hobs, and can be energy-efficient, but they can also be fragile and require more maintenance.

Gas

A gas hob is a cooktop that has burners that can be installed on kitchen countertops to give seamless appearance. They are typically used with natural or the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) but they can also be powered by propane gas. They feature a sleek and modern design that can bring a touch of class to your modular kitchen.

A traditional gas stove comes with several burners, usually 4, but sometimes 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 to regulate temperature.

Modern built-in gas stoves on the other hand include burners with multiple flames. This lets you control both the outer and the inner ring for each burner to allow you to precisely control your cooking. These kinds of burners provide faster heating times and are more reliable than the traditional ones.

In the past, it was essential for a gas stove to be lit at all times to ensure that the burners remained hot and fuelled. This was done to avoid accidents, like accidentally turning on an oven when the stove was still lit by a match or pilot light. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and come with a built-in fire failure device that shuts off the burners automatically if the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs should be cleaned, checked and maintained regularly. The best way to do this is to schedule an appointment for maintenance with a certified Gas Safe registered engineer. They will not only ensure that your appliance is operating correctly, but also give you expert advice on how you can avoid any future problems.

Electric

When it comes to creating your perfect kitchen the countertops, fridge freezer and ovens will always get the most attention, however a quality hob is equally important. The kind of hob you select will influence the way your kitchen functions and how easy it is for you to clean.

Electric hobs are equipped with heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface. This 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 with a knob. They can take a little longer to heat up than gas cookers, but once they have done so, they are able to provide better, consistent temperature control. They also come with indicators that inform you that a zone is being used or hot from cooking.

Typically, these come in a range of four to six sizes of rings that can be cranked up to various levels of power. They are great for cookware that is flat, but aren't the best option for cast-iron pans as they can overheat. Certain models (such as Belling BELCH602T) have dual-ring designs that let you cook sausages and boil water in the same ring. Some models come with a Boost function that concentrates high-temperature elements into one ring. This is helpful for stir-frying, searing meat, or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs differ from normal electric models because they employ electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware, rather than the conventional method of gas flames. They can achieve precise temperatures quicker and are more energy efficient. They feature a cool to the touch surface, and flashing indicators that inform you that a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramics can be used to create decorative or functional objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders and water, and then firing it in a high temperature oven hob known as a Kiln. Once it's made, it can be covered with paint-like or decorative substances to add color and texture.

Ceramic hobs are a perfect blend of design and function to make an impressive piece of modern kitchen furniture. They work by using radiant heating technology that passes an electric current through the coiled elements hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. When they are activated, they produce heat which is then transferred to your pan by an infrared system. You can adjust the strength of this heating by adjusting the controls via knobs or buttons.

Some ceramic hobs come with dual rings, which have the smaller and the larger cooking area. This lets you choose the ideal size for your pan. You can also get hobs equipped with booster burners that produce high-powered heat in a short time ideal for searing meat or bringing pans of water to a boil in a short time.

Ceramic cooktops are more efficient in energy than other types of hobs due to the fact that they take longer to heat up and change temperatures. You can also opt for vented cooktops that have a ventilation system with the cooktop made of ceramic. This ensures that steam, smoke and cooking smells do not stay in your home.

Induction

The heating elements in hobs with induction are made up of a set of copper wire coils beneath the surface, which create electromagnets that heat the pans sitting on them. The coils stir up free electrons in your pan's base metal, which then transfer heat evenly to your food. The surface of the hob is never hot and the cooking zones are automatically turned off when your pan is removed.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive, however they also get hotter faster and use 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other types. Induction hobs are also less difficult to clean because only the contents of the pan are heated, not the surface.

Some manufacturers provide an induction model with extra features, such as a pause function that cuts off the power to the stove after you have left, or the ability to connect two cooking rings at the same power for greater flexibility. They are commonly referred to as FlexInduction hobs and can be more expensive than traditional induction models, but they're worth a look if you like to multitask.

Our top pick is this induction hob made by Smeg, which has four cooking zones of good size, a bridge function and nine power levels, giving you a variety of options for the ambitious cook. It performed well in our tests, with fast heating and accurate control when making pancakes. The cooker comes with dishwasher built-in, as well as automatic pan detection to make cleaning much easier. There is a limited selection of compatible pans, and it can't be used for cooking with utensils that have a magnetic base. This could be a problem in the event that you have a large amount of non-compatible cookware or only some of it is suitable for use on induction hobs.
