You can mix different types of ovens, like gas and electric to meet your requirements. + +A hob can also have safety features, such as child and position controls. These features can prevent children from accidentally altering the temperature setting or touching the stove. + +Types + +The hob is the focal feature of any kitchen, and has a huge impact on the final outcome of your cooking. There are many different types of hobs, and which one you pick will depend on your cooking needs. + +Gas hobs are a classic choice and offer a fast heating process and instant reaction to temperature changes. Professional chefs favor them because they offer precise control. They aren't as easy to clean as other hobs and may require more maintenance. + +Electric hobs feature a flat ceramic surface and heated elements underneath. They are available in various sizes and have up to six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element which can be controlled by you. You can boil potatoes on one ring while cooking sausages on a different. This type of hob can be more efficient than gas and offers a child-safe option since the cooking area only becomes hot when you put a pan on it. + +Traditional ceramic hobs are a very comfortable alternative to electric and gas and are also a stylish option. They have a smooth, hard-wearing surface which is easy to clean, but they aren't as quick to respond to temperature fluctuations as other hobs and are slower to cool down. + +The Domino hob is an alternative to electric and gas hobs. It has ovens underneath the cooking surface. They are great for kitchens with limited space. They are also suitable for kitchenettes and flats. They are usually more affordable than standard hobs and can be energy-efficient, but they can also be fragile and require greater maintenance. + +Gas + +Gas hobs are cooktops that have burners that can be easily integrated into the kitchen countertop to give a seamless appearance. Gas hobs are typically powered by LPG or natural gas, however they can also be powered with propane gas. They are modern and sleek design that can add a touch of sophistication to your modular kitchen. + +A traditional gas stove has a range of burners, typically 4 but sometimes as many as 6. The burners can be lit by a match or a knob. The flames are controlled by a set of valves which can be adjusted to control the temperature. + +Contrary to this, modern gas hobs with built-in gas are equipped with multi-flame burners that allow you to regulate the outer and inner rings of each burner to control your cooking. These kinds of burners allow for much quicker heat up times and are more reliable than the traditional ones. + +In the past, it was required for gas stoves to be lit at all times to ensure that the burners were hot and fueled. This was a safety feature to prevent any accidents such as not turning off the oven when the stove was lit by a match or the pilot flame. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind and include a built-in flame safety device that shuts down the burners immediately should the pilot light fail. + +Gas stoves and hobs need to be inspected, cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. To accomplish this, you must make an appointment with a Gas Safe registered engineer. They will not only ensure that your appliance functions properly, but will also give you expert advice on how you can avoid any future problems. + +Electric + +When it comes to designing your dream kitchen, the kitchen worktops, fridge freezer, and oven will always receive the most attention, however the quality of your hob is equally important. The type of hob you select will influence the way your kitchen functions and how easy it is for you to clean it. + +Electric hobs use heating elements under the glass surface, which is typically cleaned with an non-abrasive cleaner. These elements are activated when you turn on the hob and can be notched up to a range of power levels by turning or pressing a control knob. It can take them some time to get heated up but once they've done so, they have a tendency to offer better and more consistent temperature control. They also come with indicators to let you know that a zone is in use or still hot from cooking. + +Typically, they come in four to six different sizes which can be adjusted to various levels of power. They are great for flat-based cookware, but not for cast iron pans, since they can get hot. Certain models come with dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that allow you to boil water on one ring and sauté sausages on the other. Some models have a Boost function that concentrates the highest heat in one ring. This is useful for stirring-frying, searing meat or boiling large pots. + +Induction hobs differ from regular electric models due to the fact that they make use of electromagnetic fields instead of traditional gas flames to cook your food. This allows them to achieve precise temperatures in a smaller period of time, making them highly energy efficient. They have a cool to the touch surface and flashing indicators that inform you whether a ring was used or is still hot. + +Ceramic + +Ceramic is an element that can be made into decorative or practical objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders, and water, and firing it in a high-temperature oven known as Kiln. Once it's been made it can be painted or covered with decorative materials to give it texture and colour. + +Ceramic hobs are a beautiful combination of form and function that can be easily integrated into any modern kitchen. They operate using radiant heating technology, passing an electric current through coiled elements hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. They generate heat when activated. This is then transferred to the pan via an infrared system. You can adjust the intensity of the heating by turning the knobs or the touch controls. + +Certain ceramic hobs have dual-ring designs, having one smaller and one larger cooking zone which allows you to select the most suitable size for your pan. There are hobs that have boosters that create high-powered heat rapidly. This is great for cooking food and bringing pans to boil quickly. + +Compared to other types of cooktops, ceramic cooktops take a little longer to heat up and change temperature however once they do, they are generally more efficient in energy use. You can also find vented cooktops that incorporate a ventilation system within the cooktop's ceramic, making sure that smoke, steam and cooking smells don't stay within your home. + +Induction + +Induction hobs contain heating elements that are comprised of copper wire coils. They generate electromagnets, which heat the pans placed on top of them. The coils stir up free electrons in the base metal of your pan, which then transfers heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove never gets hot and, the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones switch off automatically. + +Induction hobs are generally more expensive, however they also are more efficient in heating and consume 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other kinds. Induction hobs are also simpler to clean because only the contents of the pan heat up and not the surface. + +Certain manufacturers offer an induction model that has additional features, such as the ability to pause that cuts off power to your hob whenever you move away from it, or connect two cooking rings at the same time at the same power level to provide added flexibility. These are sometimes referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They are more expensive than traditional induction models, however, they're worth considering when multitasking is important to you. + +This induction hob is our top pick. It has four large cooking zones as well as a Bridge function and nine power settings, giving you a lot of options for ambitious cooks. It was a great performer in our test with a fast heating speed and accurate control when making pancakes. The cooker comes with dishwasher built-in and automatic pan detection to make cleaning easier. The only issue is that there are only a few compatible pans, and you cannot use it to cook with appliances with magnetic bases. It could be a problem if have a lot of cookware that is not compatible, or only some of it is compatible with induction hobs. \ No newline at end of file
