oven with hob hobs are the heart of a kitchen and there are numerous choices available. We offer a variety of cooking rings from four to six, with some with additional features like pan supports.

They heat up quickly and cool down quickly, with even cooking surface temperature. Most often, professional chefs prefer them and easy to manage.

Gas Hobs

A popular choice, gas hobs have burner rings as well as a grate on which cookware and pans rest on. They are quick to heat up and allow precise temperature control. They are also able to accommodate a variety of cooking techniques such as boiling water to searing meats. Gas ovens hobs are generally more affordable than electric hobs, as they use a natural gas source.

They're available in a vast range of finishes that include ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes give them a sleek and modern aesthetic that will complement any kitchen design. They can be prone for burning and scratches, so you should take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning will help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially crucial if you have a traditional freestanding model. To get a more thorough clean, you can remove the grates and burner caps. Soak them in warm soapy tap water and scrub gently. You can also make a mild paste of baking soda and use it to remove stubborn staining without damaging the surface.

Built-in gas hobs offer seamless design, which is different from traditional gas stoves, which are freestanding appliances. They can be placed on a separate foundation, so they are simple to move around when you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. However, building an gas hob into your kitchen will require an extensive amount of work and professional installation.

Gas hobs can be found in a range of finishes. From the classic black and white, to the contemporary glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some come in stunning colours such as green or blue to give a unique look to your kitchen.

Gas hobs have been in use for a long time and are a safe, reliable alternative. They provide precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. To avoid accidents, it is essential to follow safety guidelines and ensure proper ventilation.

Gas hobs also feature a flame failure mechanism that shuts off the gas when the flame goes out. This helps prevent accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

A ceramic hob has an elegant, modern look and is relatively easy to warm up and clean. There are a myriad of styles to choose from, including ultra-sleek flat and traditional shapes such as squares and rectangles. Their flat surface makes them easy to clean down after use. They often feature built in residual heat indicators that turn off the area if it has been used and is too hot to touch or clean in just a few minutes. This can reduce the risk of accidental burns and is particularly beneficial when you have children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic cooktop can be prone to chips and scratches. It's even more so if you drag the pans across rather than lifting them with their handles. We recommend that you take extra care when handling and moving your cookware onto and off the hob. We also suggest that you do not use magnetic or metal cookware on ceramic hobs since they could damage the surface.

A ceramic hob can also take longer to cool than a gas or an induction hob. This can be a nuisance when you're working in a busy kitchen or if you wish to quickly switch between cooking areas. Numerous manufacturers have streamlined this and offer a range that can reduce cooling times by 30%.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs heat up fastest and are the most efficient choice on the market. They are extremely clean and safe because they don't keep heat in the cooking zones, but there is a cost to pay for these benefits as they can be more expensive than other alternatives.

Induction Hobs

A popular option for kitchen upgrades Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. They heat the pan rather than the glass/ceramic surface, reducing energy usage and making them safer to use. They also cool down more quickly than traditional hobs, so they're easier to keep clean.

Under the smooth, glossy glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob are copper coils that an electrical current that is alternating runs through. When a compatible pan is placed on the cooking area the coils instantly produce heat via magnetic induction. It is easier to cook since the pan doesn't lose heat.

Many induction cooktops come with many features, so you'll be able to find one that is perfect for your needs. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can opt for a model with a touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan within each of its zones. Then, you can tap the display to launch an extensive menu of operating options and alter the power setting or the timer. Some induction hobs offer pre-programmed settings for certain recipes or kinds of food which is a great way to reduce time and effort while cooking.

Induction hobs also are considered to be the most efficient cooking stove since they consume less electricity and produce no heat that remains. However, due to the fact that they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, and it is recommended to stay away from them.

We recommend you choose a top induction cooker with a built-in extractor. This will remove smoke and odours, as you cook. It can also be used with a large variety of cooking utensils. You'll also get the best hobs value for money if you select a dual-flex zone, which allows you to join two zones together on the left hand side to accommodate larger pans.

Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a good option if you're looking for a durable hob that will be resistant to hard-wearing stains. This layer is five times more durable than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against stains, scratches, and chips. It is still recommended to make use of a non-abrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pad for removing burnt-on food residue however, avoid any cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are elegant and easily integrated into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy families.

Unlike gas, which burns an igniter to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that rises through the ceramic glass and directly warms the food that is placed on the top. They're also more cost-effective to run as they can be shut off when not in use - saving you money on energy costs.

It is important to keep in mind that not all ovens hobs have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, with features such as automatic safety shutoff and an electronic display that clearly shows the temperature, power levels and cooking times. Certain models also include an increase function that boosts the speed of the element to provide additional power.

Another benefit of having an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it easier to clean than traditional gas models. Since there are no grates to scrub spills and splatters, they can be easily cleaned, meaning your hob will be in good condition for a longer time.

These features make electric hobs a great option for families, you should bear in mind that if you are fitted with a pacemaker, you can't use this type of hob as its electromagnetic field could interfere with your device.
