Gas hobs are renowned due to their rapid heating and precise control of flame. They are compatible with all types of cookware, and are perfect for frying things that require precise temperatures, for example, steaks.

Gas hobs

Gas hobs utilize natural gas to create flames which heat pots and pans. The burners can be controlled by turning a knob that can be adjusted to control the size of the flame as well as heat output. 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 helps to prevent accidental fires.

Gas hobs are a popular choice for cooking because of their speed and accuracy. They are able to quickly reach high temperatures, which makes them ideal for boiling water or searing meats. They can be set to lower temperatures for delicate dishes and sauces. A gas hob will also be less likely to cause food sticking, which is a problem for certain electric cooktops.

Gas hobs are not as efficient but they do consume very little electricity. Induction models are more expensive at first, so they can be an excellent choice for kitchens with a limited budget. However, the ongoing costs of a gas hob are determined by the local natural gas or LPG prices, which can be quite different.

It is important to be aware of the health risks that come from a gas cooktop. Research has shown that cooking with gas hobs can result in indoor pollutants that are well over the legally-regulated UK and EU air quality standards. These pollutants are caused through the interaction of a naked flame and the vaporisation of oil in the cookware. This is especially common when using nonstick cookware with gas hobs. To minimize the risk of these pollutants, it's important to avoid burning any flammable objects near a gas stove.

Electric hobs

There are a variety of choices available to you, whether you want an electric hob in your kitchen or to replace an old one. Consider your cooking requirements and how you would like your new hob designed. However, you also need to think about practical considerations like the space you have available and the energy efficiency rating you are seeking.

A popular option for modern homes, electric hobs come in a range of designs and finishes, from simple coil hobs to sophisticated glass or ceramic models that have touch controls. Electric hobs are relatively simple to clean and typically provide better control of the temperature than gas hobs. However, they may take longer to heat up and cool down.

Hobs with induction

Induction hobs are different from gas and electric hobs because they use magnetism to heat pots and pans instead of direct heat. Induction hobs are equipped with coils underneath the glass surface that carry an electric current that fluctuates. When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the top, the magnetic field creates electricity in the iron core of the pan which heats it and indirectly cooks the food inside. They typically cook faster and are favoured for their energy efficiency, with a lot of homeowners reporting dips in their overall cooking expenses.

Some sources suggest that induction hobs release high levels of electromagnetic fields - with frequencies in the kilohertz band when they are used. At a distance of about 5 to 10 centimetres from the appliance, these fields will not be harmful to your health, and decrease as you get further away. However, these magnetic fields may affect pacemakers, therefore it is advised to keep a minimum of 5-10 centimeters between the cooker and any pacemaker.

Induction hobs also require specialized cookware. These cookwares must have a flat bottom, and are typically made of iron or steel with a magnetic layer casting iron is a popular option, but you can also find stainless steel with an induction compatibility, copper and aluminium (check the label for compatibility).

You can choose your preferred temperature by sliding your finger across the power bar. Left to right increases power and right to left reduces it. Some hobs also come with a slider that functions like the one on an iPhone. You simply swipe your finger to select the ring, and then tap the power bar to adjust the desired temperature.

Some hobs come with an option for a child lock, which prevents children from accidentally turning on the hob or altering its settings.

One of the main benefits of gas on glass cooktops is that they are simpler to keep clean than traditional stainless steel models. However, it is important to note that you must only use flat-bottomed pans and pans on a cooktop made of glass. This is because a round bottom will cause too much of the surface to come into contact with the burners, which can result in overheating and causing damage.

Glass cooktops made of glass are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stoves made of stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to prevent burns and other damage. However glass cooktops can simply be cleaned with 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.
