Types of Hobs Oven
Hobs are a must-have kitchen appliance that can blend into the kitchen worktop or make a statement as a stand-out feature. These are also the most well-known kinds of cookers since they're easy to use and have a sleek design.
There are five different types of hobs to choose from. Each has its own unique design and functions.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs are a fashionable and practical option that sits flush with the counter for contemporary appearance. They work by passing electric currents through coiled elements beneath the glass surface, which is then heated and transferred the energy to the pan. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned using the flat surface. The downside is that they're susceptible to staining, particularly from certain liquids or foods and therefore it is advised to avoid using harsh cleaners.
Electric ceramic hobs are a great option for those who want to save money or who do not need the expense of an induction or gas cooktop. However, they're slower to warm up than other kinds of electric hobs. They also tend to be less efficient than other alternatives in the event that your cooking areas aren't appropriately sized for your pans. This is due to the fact that when the entire cooking area is heated, some of the energy can be transferred to the pan.
Some ceramic hobs also overheat. To prevent this from happening, they often come with built in residual heat indicators which tell you when the hob is still hot after you've finished cooking. This helps to prevent accidents and to avoid touching the hot surface of the hob.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add a modern and elegant look to your kitchen, a black ceramic stove is a great choice. They're cheap and come in a wide range of sizes and styles to suit every budget.
Unlike traditional gas hobs, which require a variety of components for proper operation ceramic cooktops are made from a single piece of glass that is tempered and sits directly on top of the countertop. They are also less difficult to set up and less costly to fix, which makes them a popular option for home remodelers. To ensure safety and not void the warranty, it's essential to hire an expert to repair and install the product.
Gas on Glass Hobs
Gas on glass hobs have the same features as traditional gas stoves, but are easier to clean and more visually appealing. The smooth, tempered surface is heat-resistant and can be easily cleaned after every use. Durable cast iron pan supports keep the pans and pots in place during cooking. Certain models also have the safety feature of a fire failure that shuts off the gas supply in case the flame is accidentally extinguished to ensure your kitchen remains safe oven and hob secure.
The type of hob you choose to use can be found in a variety of finishes, ranging from stainless steel to black glass. The finish you choose will be determined by your preferences for aesthetics, as well as how it integrates with the kitchen's design. The streamlined lines of the cooker make it a beautiful addition to any kitchen.
Our collection of glass-on gas hobs is a range of sizes, from compact four burner models to larger six burner variants with powerful dual-flame wok burners. Each one of them has elegant dials that are easy to read, and responsive. This makes it simple to alter the temperature of the flame to create a low simmer for sauces or a high temperature for searing steaks.
Certain models of our gas on glass hobs are also equipped with advanced features, including precise temperature adjustment, which guarantees more delicious results.

Induction hobs are a common option for homeowners who want modern, sleek and functional cooktop in their home. They utilize magnetic induction technology to heat the cookware, so only the metal pan is heated while the ceramic glass surfaces remain cool. They're easy to clean and generate instant uniformly distributed and controlled heat. They're also energy efficient and don't require combustion, which can help reduce the carbon footprint of your home.
Hobs Induction
As the name suggests these hobs use induction technology to heat up pans. This works by placing coils beneath each cooking zone, which when activated emit magnetic fields to directly warm the bottom of any iron-based pot placed on it. This helps save energy since the hob remains cool until you place a pan on top. It is also easier to clean, and safer for children.
Some induction hobs will come with an area called a "flexizone" on the left hand side that lets you connect two zones to create a larger one - perfect for those who use larger pans and pots. Some models, such as this WiFi enabled model from Samsung have more advanced features. For instance, there is the ability to pause and lower the temperature when removing your pan. SmartThings allows you to control the appliance remotely. You can set up timers, alerts and even turn off and on the stove when you are not home.
Another advantage of induction hobs is that they are among the most energy efficient models on the market. This is due to the fact that heat is created and stored within the pan itself instead of the surface of the cooker's hood. In addition, they shut off faster if there is no pan present or when the pan is removed which also reduces residual heat.
Induction hobs are more expensive than other kinds of electric hobs, but they do usually save you money on your utility bills over the long haul because they heat up and cool down faster than traditional ceramic hobs. Induction hobs offer more precise temperature control, and you can only use iron-based pans that are designed specifically for this type of.
This Hotpoint induction hob has a handy auto-cook function that lets you choose from four preset recipes (boil, melt, slow cook and keep warm) which will set the best hob power level for your ingredients. This model has an attractive touchscreen and nine power settings. It also has security features like locking controls, residual heat indicators, and auto-shutdown when there is a chance of a spillage.
Combination of Induction and Gas Hobs
Both cooktops, induction and gas, have their own advantages. Gas cooktops are versatile and provide instant heat while induction cooktops offer high energy efficiency and precise control. A hybrid hob allows you to use both induction and gas zones at the same time.
Hybrid hobs are also designed to impress, usually with modern, sleek designs and easy-to-clean surfaces. FUJIOH hybrid hobs are manufactured of Scott Ceran(r) which is ceramic glass material designed to withstand high temperatures and provide superior performance.
Combination gas and induction stoves are excellent because they let you optimize your energy consumption according to what you cook, saving you money on your energy bill. Induction hobs make use of electromagnetic fields to directly heat cookware, reducing energy consumption by heating the food, not the kitchen surface itself. Induction hobs are safer than gas stoves since they have a cool to touch surface.
Gas hobs on the contrary, are less efficient than induction models and may cause an accumulation of certain gases, which can be harmful if breathed in. Fortunately, most gas hobs come with safety features that lower the chance of burns and accidents, including automatic shut-off functions, as well as burner grates that prevent spills from falling into crevices.
Another benefit of a hybrid stove is that it allows you to employ different cooking methods for different recipes, like sauteing vegetables on the gas side and simmering sauces on the induction side. Additionally many hybrid hobs come with induction zones that can be bridged, allowing you to connect two zones to a single cooking area suitable for larger griddles or pans. You can even find hobs with a built-in timer for added precision when making recipes that require specific cook times. This feature is especially helpful when entertaining, since it makes it easy to track multiple dishes at once.
