These hobs are heated by passing an electrical current through coiled elements that are hidden beneath the glass surface, which produce heat when activated by control knobs. Some models use an element that emits heat from the surface of the glass. Some models use halogen elements which are more powerful. They can heat the entire surface with successions of pulses.

Certain ceramic hobs come with advanced safety features, for example, a residual heat indicator, which warns you when the surface remains hot to the contact. This helps prevent burns. Some ceramic hobs have child locks that stop children from accidentally changing the settings.

For optimal performance, it's important to use the correct cookware for your ceramic hob. This ensures that the pans are flat-bottomed, which promotes uniform heat distribution and helps avoid hot spots that could cause under or overcooked food.

We also have models equipped with a booster burner to allow rapid heating of specific areas or pots - ideal for stir-fry or searing steak.

Gas Hobs

A gas hob and oven, sometimes called gas stove or gas cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses an flammable natural gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as its source of fuel. The flame heats both cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for rapid cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which gives extra safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. This elevated construction does require special care when using or cleaning the hob in order to avoid spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas cooker are controlled manually and lit with matches. Modern models have an automatic igniter, which makes sure that the gas flame is lit automatically. The flame can then be controlled by the knobs that control it making it easy to alter the heat level according to your needs. Depending on the model, some gas hobs are also equipped with multi-flame burners to give you more cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas stove is that it requires a consistent supply of gas which can be a hassle if you live in an area with erratic or unreliable supply. Gas hobs also require regular maintenance to guard against dangerous leaks and corrosion. This is why it is crucial to install a gas stove only after consulting with a Gas Safe registered fitter who can offer expert installation and follow strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances are still popular in certain areas, even though electric and induction hobs and ovens have gained in popularity. This is due to consumer preference and environmental concerns, as well local energy prices and availability. As a result, it is crucial to evaluate your kitchen's utility costs and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are a favorite for our customers looking for a sleek and clean-looking kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans instead of heating plates or burning gas beneath. Copper coils are situated under the glass ceramic surface. A current of alternating electricity is run through them. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense the magnetic base and release heat directly into the cooker or pan itself. This is faster than traditional gas stoves and is more energy-efficient. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to touch and easy to clean.

Induction hobs are designed to be simpler than gas counterparts to clean. To keep your induction stove as fresh as new, all you need is a dampened cloth.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the appropriate cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick pans are all compatible but they need an induction-compatible magnetic base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

There are a range of induction hobs that are available, from budget models up to premium brands that have TFT displays with an extensive menu of operating options. When a pan is placed in a zone of power, the hob will show its position on the full colour display, with a control button or slider enabling you to alter the power setting or set the timer. There are a variety of clever accessories, such as pan sensors that attach to the sides of cookware to communicate with the oven using bluetooth to control the power.

Induction hobs with a built-in fan can reduce smoke, steam and cooking smells. This model is ideal for homes with a limited space since it does not require an extractor fan. It makes use of magnetic fields in the kilohertz frequency range in order to produce heat that affects the pan and its contents. In normal operation, the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's reference value for the density of magnetic fields for the frequency at which it operates. There are no health hazards to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best oven uk electric hobs are sleek and designed to match most kitchen styles. They are a good option for those who prefer the ease of use of touchscreen controls instead of dials, and offer a variety of options to suit your cooking needs.

While others include an energy boost button to provide additional heat when doing something difficult.

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular because they provide a modern and clean aesthetic that fits in well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook quickly and provide an excellent level of safety. For instance they tend to cool quicker than gas cookers and come with a "hot" indicator light that remains on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the surface. They are also more efficient due to the fact that the magnetic field only produces heat inside the pan so you're not heating the surrounding air.

But, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an induction hob - most require a specific power supply configured with the correct breakers and cables, so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a certified electrician. Induction hobs can be costly and you'll have to buy a set of compatible induction pans to get the most benefit from them.
