They are quick to heat up and have precise temperature control. They can accommodate a wide range of cooking methods from boiling water to cooking food. Gas hobs are generally more affordable than electric hobs, as they use a natural gas source. They are available in a broad selection of finishes, including stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give the cabinets a sleek, modern appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They can be prone for burning and scratches and so you must take extra care when cleaning them. Regular cleaning can help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is especially crucial if you have a more traditional freestanding model. For a deeper clean, you can take off the burner caps and grates. Soak them in warm soapy tap water, then scrub them gently. You can also make a mild paste out of baking soda and use it to remove stubborn stain without damaging the surface.

Ceramic Hobs Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern design. They are also easy to clean and warm up. They are available in a variety of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional square and rectangular designs, so there's a style that will suit the majority of kitchens. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use and they typically have built-in residual heat indicators that turn off the area if it has been used and is too hot to touch or clean after only a few minutes. This reduces the chance of burns and is particularly useful when your children are young. The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to scratches and chips. It's more likely to happen when you drag the pots across the surface instead of lifting them by their handles. We recommend that you use extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend to avoid using metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs since they can damage the surface. Another downside of a ceramic hob is that it takes longer than gas or induction to cool down. This is problematic if you're working in a busy, packed kitchen or need to swiftly switch from one cooking area to another. However, many manufacturers have worked on this issue and are now offering an array of hobs that can cut down on their cooling time by as much as 30 percent. Induction Hobs The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to warm up and are the most energy-efficient option 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 advantages since they are more expensive than other alternatives. Hobs induction Induction hobs are the most popular choice for kitchen upgrades. They are a fashionable alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated, not the glass/ceramic surface. This helps reduce energy use and makes them safer to use. They also cool down faster than traditional hobs, which means they're less difficult to clean. Copper coils are located beneath the smooth, glossy ceramic or glass surface of an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is pushed through them. When a suitable pan is placed on the cooking area the coils instantly generate heat via magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently because there's no heat loss from the pan itself. You'll find an induction hob that will suit your taste. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, select a model with an LCD display that shows the position of the pan in all its zones. You can then tap on the display to launch the menu for operation that is extensive and change the power setting or timer. Some induction hobs provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or food types which is a great way to reduce time and effort while cooking. Induction hobs are also thought to be the most energy efficient cooking options since they consume less electricity and generate no residual heat. However, since they generate magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment, such as pacemakers, so it's best to avoid using them near them. We recommend you choose a top induction cooker with an integrated extractor. This will help remove smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a broad range of cooking utensils. You'll also get better value for your money if you choose one with a dual-flex zone, which allows you to join two zones together on the left hand side to make room for larger pans. Hotpoint's models with CleanProtect are a great option if you're looking for an extremely durable hob that can resist tough stains. This layer protects against chips, scratches and stains and, according to the manufacturer it is five times stronger than their conventional ceramic coating. To remove any burnt-on food residues, make use of a nonabrasive cleaning product or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that could scratch the surface of the ceramic. Electric Hobs Elegant and practical electric hobs are a popular element in modern kitchens. They are sleek and can be easily integrated into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a perfect option for busy families. In contrast to gas, which uses a flame to heat up the pan, electric hobs utilize an element that rises up through the ceramic glass and then directly heats whatever is sat on the top. They are also less expensive 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 hobs have the same features. Certain hobs are more modern and include features such as automatic safety shutdown and a digital display which clearly shows power levels and temperatures, as well as cooking time. Some models come with a boost feature that increases the speed and power of the appliance. Another advantage of an electric hob is its flat surface, which makes it much easier to clean than a gas model. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates.
