A Guide to Hobs in the UK
|
||||
|
||||
A hob is an appliance that is inserted into the cutouts of a worktop. It can be gas or electric, and can come with up to six cooking rings. It is modern in design and is easy to clean.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart hobs that offer customization and are compatible with home automation systems are of interest to consumers. They also want to reduce energy consumption and improve hygiene.

|
||||
Hobs with induction
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs are sleek and efficient. hobs are among the most popular choices for modern kitchens. Induction hobs, unlike electric and gas models that rely on heating plates to heat cookware directly make use of electromagnetic technology to heat the pan. Underneath the glass-ceramic surface sit coils that an alternating current flows through. When a compatible pan is placed in the cooking zone the coils generate magnetic fields that interact with the metal inside the pan, generating electrical currents, and producing heat. This makes induction hobs much more energy-efficient and easier to clean than traditional hobs.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs are also user-friendly. The top of the appliance is an entire TFT display that can be used to control it. It displays the cookware that is currently being used, and the power setting you have selected. The control panel can be locked to avoid accidental button pressing. Many induction hobs come with a boost function that increases the effectiveness of a cooking zone for a short period of time to quickly bring a pot of boiling water to cook in a pan to searing.
|
||||
|
||||
Many induction hobs have frames that are not visible, and the glass-ceramic surfaces seamlessly integrated into the countertop. Induction hobs can be found in different colours to complement your kitchen's decor. They also often have minimalist, sleek controls with indicator lights that indicate the level of power and other functions.
|
||||
|
||||
To make the most of an induction hob it is necessary to purchase cookware that is compatible with induction. If you're interested in knowing whether a pan is compatible on an induction stove, run a magnet over the base of the pan. If the magnet adheres to it, then it is compatible. A majority of induction hobs come with a pan detection system to prevent overuse of energy. The coils will only be activated when an appropriate pan or pans are present.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs can be an excellent choice for shared housing or student apartments because they don't feature an open flame and are safer than gas versions. They do make a humming noise or ticking sound when used, which can be irritating to some.
|
||||
|
||||
Gas hobs
|
||||
|
||||
A gas hob makes use of natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas to produce the flame that cookware is heated which makes it suitable for a variety of cooking techniques. They are more efficient in heating up and offer more precise temperature control than electric options such as ceramic hobs. Cleaning them can be messy. Burner caps and wok stand must be removed frequently to ensure that everything is clean.
|
||||
|
||||
Modern gas hobs are equipped with electronic ignition systems that use an electric spark or continuous flame to ignite the burners and start the combustion process. They then use electrical components, such as sensors and switches to control the flow of gas through the system and ensure that the burners are operating correctly. They may also have several control knobs for adjusting the intensity of the flame as well as heat output.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the model you select, gas hobs include anything from one to six burners. Consider the dimensions of your pans when choosing the number, as you'll want to make sure there are enough burners to accommodate all cookware you intend to use. If you are a frequent stir-fryer, choose a model that comes with a separate wok burn. Some models come with griddle elements integrated, so you can cook a tasty and quick breakfast or lunch.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing gas [best Hobs uk](https://www.ovensandhobs.uk/) is the cost of running it. Gas hobs generally have lower initial purchase costs than induction hobs. However, the operating cost can be a bit different depending on your local gas rates and usage patterns. It's also worth bearing in mind that a gas hob requires access to a natural gas supply and ventilation, which may increase the cost of installation over an induction or electric hob.
|
||||
|
||||
Vented hobs integrate two appliances into one unit which saves space while giving your kitchen a sleeker appearance. They draw steam and smoke through a duct on the surface of the stove which allows for more efficient operation than traditional hoods.
|
||||
|
||||
Portable hobs
|
||||
|
||||
If you require more hob space in your kitchen, or you want to take your cooking outdoors the kitchen, a portable hob could be a great choice. These are designed to be placed on the kitchen worktop and plug into, so they're simple to use and can be carried with you when you have to cook somewhere else. They can also be useful in the event that you're planning to renovate your kitchen or simply need some extra hob space to accommodate busy times.
|
||||
|
||||
Induction hobs have become increasingly popular in both kitchens that are used for professional or home use, because they are quick, safe, efficient and easy to clean. They function by creating an electric current that runs through a magnetic coil, which then heats the pan that you place on the top. This means there's no 'wasted heat' like an electric or gas hob which helps reduce your expenses.

This Belling hob has two cooking zones, as well as a double ring design and can be used with a variety of saucepans and pots. Its intuitive interface and great heat distribution make it an absolute hit with testers, who even found the ability to easily alter the temperature of the two zones beneficial. The only downside is that it takes more than 12 minutes for a litre to come to a boil, which can be frustrating for people who are in a hurry.

If you're looking for a more compact option the Smeg model could be worth having a look. It's thin and light - less than half the size of some of the other models on this list - which makes it easy to store when not in use. The brushed silver finish looks elegant and is more easy to clean than the shiny finishes on other hobs.
|
||||
|
||||
These hobs could be a convenient smaller alternative to full-sized versions, but they are still hot and could cause serious burns. We recommend careful handling and sensible placement, with the plug far away from children and away from areas where people might slip over it. Many models come with a child lock, which can be an excellent feature if you have children.
