Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?
best oven hobs are at the heart of any kitchen and there are a variety of options to choose from. We offer a variety of cooking ring sizes ranging from four to six, with some with additional features like pan supports.
They heat and cool quickly and have a consistent temperature of the cooking surface. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and easy to manage.
Gas hobs and ovens
A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate that pots and pans sit on. They are fast to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They also can accommodate many cooking techniques including boiling water to grilling meats. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric ones as they utilise natural gas as a source of energy.
They're available in a vast variety of finishes such as stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give the cabinets a sleek, modern design that can be incorporated into any kitchen design. They are prone to scratching and scorching and so you must be extra careful when cleaning them.
Regular cleaning is key to keeping your stove in top condition, particularly if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. For a deeper clean, you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water, then scrub them gently. Alternatively, you can make a mild baking soda paste and use it to remove stubborn stains without damaging the surface.
Built-in gas hobs provide a seamless appearance, unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be positioned on a separate foundation, so they are easy to move around when you move or change the layout of your kitchen. However, building a gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.
Gas hobs can be found in a variety of finishes. From the classic white and black to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in a variety of styles. Some even come in stunning green or blue colour to add a splash of individuality to your kitchen.
Gas hobs are a safe and reliable choice that has been used for a long time. They provide precise temperature control as well as evenly distributed heat. They are more energy-efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is important to practice proper ventilation and adhere to safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.
Another safety benefit of gas hobs is their flame failure mechanism, which shuts off the gas supply when the burner flame goes out. This helps to prevent any accidental burns or explosions.
Ceramic Hobs
A ceramic hob has contemporary, sleek appearance and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. There are many styles to choose from, including ultra-sleek, flat and traditional shapes like squares and rectangles. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators that turn off the area when it is too hot to touch. This can lower the risk of burns, and is especially useful for children who are still young.
However the flat surface of a ceramic cooktop can be prone to chips and scratches. This is a particular issue when you drag pans across it, rather than lifting them by their handles, and we advise taking extra care when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic hob as this could cause damage to the surface.
Ceramic hobs also take longer to cool than a gas or induction hob. This can be a hassle when you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you need to quickly switch between cooking Solutions areas. Many manufacturers have streamlined this and offer a range that can reduce the time to cool by up to 30%.
Hobs induction
The Rolls Royce of ovens hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to get hot and are the most energy efficient option on the market. They are extremely hygienic and safe as they don't retain heat on the cooking areas, however there is a price to pay for these benefits since they are more expensive than other options.
Induction Hobs
Induction hobs have become the most popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy consumption and making them safer to use. They cool faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.
Copper coils are found under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface on an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is passed through them. When a suitable pan is placed in the cooking area the coils instantly produce heat through magnetic induction. You can cook more efficiently because the pan doesn't lose heat.
You can find an induction cooktop that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, choose a model that has an LCD display that shows the pan's position within each of its zones. You can then tap on the display to launch a comprehensive operating menu and alter the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or food types which is a great way to reduce time and effort when cooking.
Induction hobs are also considered to be the most energy efficient cooktop option since they consume less electricity and produce no heat after use. However, because they create magnetic fields, they could interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, and it is recommended to avoid using them near them.
Our suggestion is to select an induction hob that is top-quality and has an extractor built-in. This removes steam, smoke and odours out of the air while you cook, meaning it can be used with a larger choice of cookerware. You'll also get the best hob value for money if you select dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left-hand side to make room for larger pans.
Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great choice if you want an extremely durable hob that can resist tough staining. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains. According to Hotpoint it is five times stronger than their standard ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, you can make use of a nonabrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that can scratch the surface of the ceramic.
Electric Hobs
Stylish and practical electric hobs are a popular feature of many modern kitchens. They are sleek and can easily be integrated into any décor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a perfect option for busy families.
In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises through the ceramic glass and heats whatever is sat on top of it. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient because they can be shut off when they are not in use.
It's important to note that not all stoves have the same features. Some hobs are more advanced, with features like an automatic safety shut-off as well as a digital display which clearly displays the power level and temperature and cooking time. Some models come with a boost feature that increases the power and speed of the appliance.
Another benefit of having an electric hob and oven is its flat surface that makes it easier to clean than traditional gas models. Spills and splatters can be easily wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.
While these features make electric hobs a great option for families, it's important to keep in mind that if you have a pacemaker fitted you can't use this type of cooker as its electromagnetic field may interfere with your device.
