Types of Hob and Oven
A stove and oven are commonplace in kitchens and is available in a variety of styles. You can mix different types, such as electric and gas to meet your requirements.
Safety features like child and position controls can be added to the hob. They can stop children from touching the stove and stop them from changing the temperature settings in error.
Types
The hob is the focal point of any kitchen and has a huge impact on the results of your cooking. However, there are many different kinds of hobs and the one you choose will depend on what your specific cooking needs are.
Gas hobs are a classic option and provide a quick heating function and instant response to temperature fluctuations. Professional chefs favor them because they offer precise control. However, they aren't as clean as other hobs, and they may require a higher degree of maintenance.
Electric hobs are a flat ceramic surface that has heated elements beneath. They can be found in a variety of sizes with between four and six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element that can be controlled individually by you. You can boil potatoes on one ring and cook sausages on another. This type of hob can be quicker to heat than gas and offers a child-safe option because the cooking zone only becomes hot when you place a pot on it.
Traditional ceramic hobs are a user-friendly alternative to gas and electric and are a elegant choice. They have a smooth and durable surface that is easy to clean. However they aren't as fast to respond to temperature changes or to cool down as other hobs.
The Domino hob is a space-saving alternative to electric and gas hobs. It combines ovens beneath the cooking surface. They can be fitted into smaller kitchens that have small installation space and are suitable for kitchenettes and apartments. They are often cheaper than standard hobs and can be very energy-efficient but can be fragile and require more care than other types of cookers.
Gas
A gas hob is a cooktop that has burners that can be installed on kitchen countertops to give an elegant look. They are usually powered by natural or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) but can also be powered by propane gas. The sleek, modern design could bring sophistication to your modular cooking space.
A traditional gas stove comes with a range of burners, typically 4 but sometimes as many as 6. The burners can be lit by a match or a knob. The flames can then be controlled by the valves that can be adjusted in the temperature.
Contrary to this, modern gas hobs that have built-in gas burners feature multi-flame burners that let you regulate the outer and inner ring of each burner to manage your cooking. These kinds of burners offer faster heating times and are more reliable than older models.
Traditionally, it was necessary to keep a gas stove on continuously to ensure that the burners are constantly fueled and hot. This was a safety feature to avoid any mishaps like not turning off the oven even though the stove was lit by a match or a the pilot flame. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and have a built-in flame failure device that shuts off burners automatically if the pilot light fail.
Gas stoves and hobs have to be checked regularly and cleaned, as well as maintained. To achieve this, it is recommended to book a visit from a Gas Safe registered engineer. They will not only to ensure that your appliance functions properly, but also give you expert advice on how to avoid any future problems.
Electricity
A quality hob is just as important in creating the perfect kitchen. Worktops, refrigerators, freezers and ovens are always the first things that pop up to mind. The kind of hob you select will impact the way your kitchen works and how easy for you to clean it.
Electric hobs feature heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface. This is usually cleaned using a nonabrasive cleaner. These elements are activated when you turn the hob on and can be notched up to a variety of power levels by turning or adjusting a control knob. It can take them a little bit longer to get heated up however once they are heated, 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.
Typically, they come in a range of four to six sizes of rings that can be notched up to various power levels. They are ideal for flat-based cookware however they aren't the ideal choice for cast iron pans since they can overheat. Certain models (such as Belling BELCH602T) come with dual rings that let you cook sausages and boil water on the same ring. Certain models come with a Boost feature that concentrates the highest heat in one ring. This is useful for stir-frying, searing meat, or boiling large pots.
Induction hobs differ from normal electric hobs in that they utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware, rather than the conventional method of gas flames. They can achieve precise temperatures faster and are more efficient in energy use. They have a cool-to the touch surface and flashing indicators that inform you whether a ring was used or is still hot.
Ceramic
Ceramics can be used to create decorative or functional objects. It is formed by mixing earthen elements, clay powders and water into the desired shape, then subsequently fired in a high-temperature oven, also known as a kiln. Once made, it can be covered with paint-like or decorative materials to add color and texture.
Ceramic hobs are an exquisite blend of function and form and can be found in any modern kitchen. They operate using radiant heating technology, passing an electric current through coiled components hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. They generate heat when activated, and this is transferred to your pan through an infrared system. You can adjust the strength of this heating by adjusting the controls with knobs or a touch.
Certain ceramic hobs have dual ring designs that have one smaller and a larger cooking zone which allows you to select the best size for your pan. There are hobs equipped with booster burners that produce high-powered heat quickly, great for searing meat or bringing pans of water to a boil quickly.
Ceramic cooktops are more energy efficient than other types of hobs as they take longer to heat up and alter temperatures. You can also opt for vented hobs that incorporate an air-conditioning system that is integrated into the cooktop made of ceramic. This ensures that smoke, steam, and cooking smells don't linger in your house.
Induction
The heating elements of induction hobs consist of copper wire coils under the surface, which create electromagnets that heat the pans sitting on them. The coils stir up free electrons in the base metal of your pan which then transfers heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove is never hot and the cooking zones are automatically turned off when your pan is removed.
Induction hobs are usually more expensive than other types however, they're also more efficient to heat and use 30-70 percent less energy than ceramic or gas hobs. Induction hobs are also simpler to clean because only the inside of the pan gets hot, not the surface.
Certain manufacturers have an induction model that has additional features, like a pause feature that cuts off the power to your stove when you leave, or the ability to link two cooking rings simultaneously at the same time for more flexibility. These are often referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They are more expensive than traditional induction models but they're worth a look if you prefer to multitask.
This [induction hob](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/) is our favorite. It comes with four cooking zones, a Bridge function, and nine power settings, giving you a variety of options for cooks who want to be more adventurous. In our tests, it performed very well with precise control and quick heating when making pancakes. The cooker also comes with a built-in dishwasher and an automatic pan detection feature to make cleaning a lot simpler. The only problem is that there are only a handful of compatible pans, and you cannot make use of it for cooking with the utensils that have magnetic bases. This could be a problem if you have a lot of non-compatible cookware or only some of them are suitable for induction hobs.
