Types of Hobs Oven Hobs can be a great addition to any kitchen. They can blend into the worktop or can stand out. They're also one of the most sought-after types of cookers because they're simple to use and have a sleek, modern design. There are five distinct types to choose from. Each has its own unique style and functions. Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs provide an elegant blend of style and function, sitting flush with the counter for an elegant look. They function by transferring electric currents through coiled components beneath the glass surface. It is then heated and transferred that energy to your pan. Spills and splatters are easily cleaned by using the flat surface. The downside is that they are susceptible to stains, especially from certain foods or liquids and therefore it is advised to avoid using harsh cleaners. Electric ceramic hobs are an excellent option for those looking to save money or do not want to invest in an induction or gas cooktop. They are slower to heat than other types of hobs, and are less efficient if the cooking zones don't coincide with your pans. This is because, when the entire cooking area is heated and the heat can be transferred to the pan. Some ceramic hobs can also overheat. To avoid this, they usually come with built-in residual heat indicators that inform you that the hob is hot after you've finished cooking. This helps to prevent accidents and avoid accidentally touching the hot surface of the hob.

Gas on Glass Hobs Gas on glass hobs provide the same functions as traditional gas stoves, but are much cleaner and more appealing visually.

Induction hobs have become a popular choice for home owners who want a sleek modern, functional and contemporary cooktop. The cookware is heated by magnetic induction, which means that the ceramic glass surface remains cool. They're easy to clean and generate instant even and controlled heat that's evenly distributed and controlled. They are also energy-efficient and do not require combustion, thereby helping to reduce your carbon footprint. Hobs Induction Like the name suggests, these hobs utilize induction technology to heat pans. This works by placing coils under each cooking zone, which when activated emit magnetic fields that directly heat the bottom of any iron-based pan placed on it. This saves energy because the oven stays cool until you put a pan on top. It is also easier to clean and safer for children. Certain induction hobs come with an area called a “flexizone” on the left that allows you to connect two zones together to create a large one. This is perfect for those who have larger pans and pots. Certain models, like this WiFi enabled model from Samsung offers more advanced features. For example, a pause function that lowers the temperature after removing the pan. You can also control it remotely with the SmartThings app that can help you set alarms and timers and even turn the hob on and off while you're not home. Another benefit of induction hobs is that they are one of the most energy efficient on the market. This is due to the fact that heat is produced and held in the pan itself, rather than the surface of the cooker's hood. Plus, they typically close more quickly when there is no pan present or when the pan is removed which reduces the residual heat. Induction hobs may be a bit more expensive than other types, but they can save you money in the long cost of your energy bills because they heat and cool much faster than ceramic hobs. Induction hobs permit greater control of temperature and they can only be used with iron-based pans designed specifically for this kind of. This Hotpoint induction hob has a handy auto-cook function that allows you to choose from four preset recipes (boil melt, boil slow cook, and keep warm) which will set the most appropriate power level for your ingredients. This model comes with an elegant touchscreen design and nine power levels. Additionally, there are additional safety features like control locks as well as the indicator for residual heat, and an auto switch off in case of a spillage. Combination of Induction and Gas Hobs Both cooktops, induction and gas, offer their own advantages. Gas hobs provide instant heat and are versatile with all types of cookware, while induction hobs offer energy efficiency and precise control. To get the most benefits of both the hybrid hob gives the option of making use of both cooking zones at the same time. Hybrid hobs are also designed to impress, often with modern, sleek designs and easy-to-clean surfaces. FUJIOH hybrid hobs are manufactured of Scott Ceran®, a ceramic glass material that is designed to stand up to high temperatures and offer superior performance. The main benefit of using combination gas and induction hobs is that they permit you to optimise your energy consumption according to your cooking needs, helping you save money on your bill for utility. Induction hobs heat directly your cookware using electromagnetic fields, which saves energy by heating food rather than the kitchen surface. Induction hobs are safer than gas stoves because they have a cool-to-touch surface. Gas hobs on the other hand are less efficient than models that use induction and may cause an accumulation of certain gases, which can be harmful if breathed in. Fortunately, most gas hobs are equipped with safety features that reduce the chance of burns and accidents, including automatic shut-off functions and burner grates that stop splatters from falling into crevices. A hybrid hob allows you to cook different recipes using different techniques. For instance you can cook your vegetables on the gas side while simmering sauces in the induction zone. A majority of hybrid hobs feature bridgeable zones of induction which allow you to connect two zones together to create a single space suitable for larger griddles or pans. Some hobs come with an integrated clock that can assist you in cooking recipes that require precise cooking times. This feature is especially helpful when entertaining, as it allows you to keep track of multiple dishes at once.
