Gas hobs are well-known due to their rapid heat and precise flame control. They are used in a variety of cooking pots and are ideal for frying food that require precise temperatures, like steaks.

Gas hobs

A gas oven hob makes use natural gas to produce flames that warm up pots and pans. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob that can be adjusted to control the flame size and the amount of heat produced. Modern gas hobs come with safety features, such as flame failure devices that will shut off the burners in the event that the flame goes out. This can prevent accidental fires.

Gas hobs are becoming popular for cooking because of their speed and accuracy. They can quickly reach high temperatures, which makes them ideal for boiling water or searing meats. They can also be adjusted to lower the heat level for delicate sauces and dishes. A gas hob will also be less likely to cause food sticking which is a concern with some electric cooktops.

While they aren't as energy-efficient as induction hobs, gas hobs still require a small amount of electricity while operating. Induction models are more expensive at first, so they can be an ideal choice for kitchens with limited budgets. However, the ongoing costs of a gas cooker are determined by your local natural gas or LPG prices, which can be quite different.

Many of our stoves feature a sleek, minimalist design and are suitable for open-plan living.

It's crucial to know the health risks associated with a gas cooktop. Research has shown that cooking with gas hobs can create indoor pollutant levels that are higher than the legally-regulated UK and EU air quality standards. These pollutants are produced by the interaction of a naked flame and cooking oil that has evaporated in the cookware. This is particularly common when cooking with non-stick pans which are typically used with gas hobs. To minimize the risk of these pollutants it is important to avoid burning any flammable items near a gas burner.

Electric hobs

There are many options to choose from whether you're looking to install an electric hob in your kitchen or replacing an old one. You should consider your cooking needs and how you would like your new stove to be designed. However, you should also think about practical factors such as the amount of space you have available and the energy efficiency rating you're looking for.

Electric hobs are a common option for modern homes. They come in a variety of designs and finishes including simple coil hobs with touch controls to elegant ceramic or glass models with tempered glass. They're relatively easy to clean and typically offer a more precise temperature control than gas hobs, however they may take longer to warm up and cool down compared to gas hobs.

Another kind of hob that's becoming a favorite among homeowners is the domino, which comes in both electric and ceramic versions. These hobs are designed to be flush against your kitchen worktop. They feature a flat surface, which is easy to clean, and the heating elements are hidden under the surface. These hobs are illuminated in bright red when switched on and distribute heat evenly across the cooking area.

Some models have an energy boost feature that instantly boosts the capacity of one cooking zone. This is perfect for those who are in a hurry to cook. Some have safety features for instance, hot indicators to warn you when the zone is still too hot to touch, or locks for children that stop anyone from operating the stove.

Hobs with induction

Induction hobs differ from gas and electric hobs because they use magnetism to heat pots and pans instead of direct heat. Induction hobs have coils beneath the glass surface, which run an electric current that fluctuates. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on the top of the hob, the magnetic field creates electricity within the iron core of the pan which then heats it, and in turn cooks the food inside. These hobs are known for cooking faster and being energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported an overall reduction in cost of cooking.

According to some sources According to some sources, induction hobs emit high levels of electromagnetic fields with frequencies within the Kilohertz range when used. At normal distances from the appliance, these fields will not affect your health and decrease with increasing distance. These magnetic fields can cause interference with pacemakers, therefore it is best to maintain a minimum of five to ten centimetres between the appliance and the pacemaker.

Induction hobs also require special cookware. They require flat bases and are constructed of iron or steel with an added magnetic layer. Cast iron is a popular choice however, you can find induction compatible stainless steel or aluminum, as well as copper (check the label to confirm compatibility). You may also see dual ring designs on some hobs that combine smaller and larger cooking zones to accommodate various sizes of pan.

The majority of induction cooktops come with the touch control system, which has power bars on every cooking zone. You can choose the temperature you prefer by sliding your finger down the power bar. Left to right increases power, and right to left reduces it. Some hobs also have an adjustable slider, which functions exactly like an iPhone by swiping your finger across the ring and then tap the power bar to select your required setting.

Certain hobs have a child lock that prevents children from accidentally turning off the hob or altering its settings. The majority of hobs we've tested have this functionality, which is great for reassuring parents. We always recommend that hobs are handled carefully and placed in a way that isn't easily tripped or sat upon.

Glass and Gas

Gas on glass hobs provide an elegant look that is perfect for modern modular kitchens. They have a sealed flame that stops dust or other contaminants from entering. They are also easy-to-clean making them a great option for busy families.

These types of hobs are made with toughened glass that is scratch-resistant and heat-resistant. The burners have also been plated with stainless steel and chromium to increase their durability. These features make the hobs tough and long-lasting. These features are essential particularly for safety.

Glass-topped gas cooktops are less difficult to clean than stainless steel ones. It is crucial to keep in mind that only flat-bottomed pots and pans are suitable for a cooktop made of glass. A rounded bottom can cause too much surface getting in contact with burners. This could cause damage and overheating.

Glass cooktops with glass are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves need to be cleaned regularly to prevent burns and other damage. However, a glass cooktop can be cleaned using a cloth or sponge and a cleaning solution. Additionally, these models have a built-in shut off valve that will shut off the flame in case it is accidentally shut off.
