Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs can give your kitchen a modern and sleek appearance. The flat glass-ceramic surfaces can be easy to clean and are able to be cleaned if spills or splatters occur. They are quick to heat up and are energy efficient, which can reduce your electricity bill. Ceramic hobs aren't always fast when changing the temperature settings. This can be a problem when you are cooking something that requires a quick reduction or increase of the heat.

Electric hobs use plates that are heated by electric elements beneath. The elements can be controlled separately using rotary knobs and notched to the power level you require.

A downside of this type of hob is that it's extremely sensitive to the size of the pan as well as its shape. You'll need cookware that is either the exact same size as the element, or that is able to fit in each heating zone on the hob. If the cookware doesn't match, then the element will not recognise it and won't start to heat the base of the pan. This can lead to uneven results in cooking and makes the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Glass hobs with gas are a great choice for modern, sleek design. They can be more expensive than electric models, and could require professional installation. However they heat up faster - an entire pot of water can often boil within less than four minutes. This type of stove is a great choice for cooks who wish to control the amount of heat that is generated. Glass hobs are more susceptible to damage and require more frequent cleaning since they tend to accumulate grease and other residue.

A gas on glass hob is another option that is a good choice for modern homes. Similar to a conventional gas hob uk, it comes with the burner underneath an underlying layer of flat glass.

They're also not suitable for people with pacemakers, since the electromagnetic field may interfere with them.

Induction hobs

Under the glass surface of induction hobs sit copper coils which run an alternating electrical current. When an induction-compatible dish is placed on a hob, the coils create magnetic fields that generate heat directly within the pan rather than heating the surface of the worktop (gas) or the heated plate (electric). Induction hobs are extremely efficient from a energy perspective because there's no leftover heat that is wasted.

There are many different models of induction hob that range from basic ones that have one cooking zone that is marked by rings to more advanced multi-zoned hobs that can have up to six zones, allowing you to cook multiple pots simultaneously on one Flex zone.

However, they can create magnetic fields that could interfere with some medical devices, such as pacemakers, therefore it is essential to center your pans on the burner and avoid using small pans on large burners.

Like all electric hobs, you will have to clean your induction hob on a regular basis, as food particles and other debris can build up over time.
