oven with hob hobs are the heart of any kitchen and there are numerous choices available. We offer a variety of cooking rings ranging from four to six, and some with additional features like pan supports.

They are quick to heat and cool, with a consistent cooking surface temperature. Professional chefs usually prefer them because they are easy to control.

Gas Hobs

A very popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate on which cookware and pans rest on. They heat up quickly and provide precise temperature control. They can handle a broad range of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric ones as they utilise natural gas sources.

They are available in various finishes, including ceramic glass, stainless steel and more. These finishes create modern and sleek appearance that will complement any kitchen design. However, they are susceptible to burning and scratching, so it's important to take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is essential to ensuring your hob is in perfect condition, especially if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can take off the grates and burner caps for a deeper clean, by taking them out of the soapy water and scrubbing gently. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to eliminate stubborn stain without damaging the surface.

Built-in gas hobs provide a seamless appearance, unlike traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can also be installed on a separate base, making them simple to move if you move house or change your kitchen layout. However, incorporating a gas hob into your kitchen requires a lot of construction work and professional installation.

Gas hobs are available in a range of finishes. From traditional black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they are available in a variety of styles. They are available in stunning colors such as green or blue to give a unique look to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for decades and are a reliable, safe option. Gas hobs are energy efficient and provide precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat. To avoid any accidents, it is essential to adhere to safety rules and ensure proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also have a flame failure mechanism that stops the gas flow when the flame goes out. This prevents accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have an elegant, modern look and is surprisingly quick to heat up and clean. They come in a variety of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional square and rectangular designs, so there's a style that's suitable for every kitchen. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use. They often have built-in residual heat indicators that turn off the area if it's been used and will be too hot to touch or clean in only a few minutes. This reduces the chance of burns and is particularly 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 instead than lifting them up by their handles, so we suggest being extra careful when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs because they could damage the surface.

Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This is a problem when you're working in a kitchen that is busy or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking zones. Many manufacturers have streamlined this and have a variety that can cut down the time to cool by up to 30 percent.

Hobs Induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are the fastest to heat up and are the most energy-efficient option on the market. They are incredibly hygienic and safe because they don't hold heat on the cooking areas, however there is a cost to pay for these benefits because they can be more expensive than other alternatives.

Hobs induction

A popular choice for kitchen remodeling Induction hobs offer a fashionable 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 also cool down faster than traditional hobs, meaning they're easier to clean.

Copper coils are found beneath the smooth, glossy ceramic/glass surface of an induction hob. An alternating electrical current is passed through them. The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. This lets you cook more efficiently as there's no loss of heat from the pan itself.

You'll find an induction hob that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that is easy to operate, you could opt for a model with an entire touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan in each of its zones. You can then tap on the display to access an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or types of food which is a great way to cut down on time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops available, since they don't generate any residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, so it's best oven to avoid using them near them.

Our recommendation is to choose a top induction cooker with an extractor built-in. This eliminates smoke, steam and odours out of the air when you cook, meaning it can be used with a wider range of cookware. You'll also get the best value for money if you select dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones together on the left hand side to make room for larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option for those looking for an extremely durable hob that can be resistant to hard-wearing staining.

To clean any food residues, you can employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrub pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives which could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Modern and practical electric hobs are a staple feature in many modern kitchens. Their sleek appearance allows them to blend seamlessly into any decor, and their efficient heating makes them an easy choice for busy households.

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 then directly heats whatever is on the top. 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 stoves have the same features. Some are more advanced than others, and come with features like automatic safety shutdown and a digital display that clearly shows power levels, temperatures and cooking times. Certain models also come with the ability to boost the speed of the element to give it extra power.

Another benefit of an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it much cleaner than traditional gas models. With no grates to scrubbing spills and splatters can simply be wiped away so that your hob will be in good shape for a longer period of time.

Electric hobs are an excellent choice for families. However, if you wear pacemakers, you can't use this kind of hob because its electromagnetic field may interfere with the device.
