When it is about ovens and hobs there are a myriad of types to choose from. Which one is best hobs for you?

Gas hobs have become popular due to their ability heat up quickly and control the flame precisely. They can be used with most types of cookware and are ideal to fry foods that require precise temperatures for example, steaks.

Gas hobs

A gas hob makes use natural gas to generate flames that warm up pans and pots. The burners are controlled with an adjustable knob that can be adjusted to alter the size of the flame and the heat output. Modern gas hobs come with safety features such as flame failure devices, which stop the burners when the flame ceases to burn. This helps to prevent accidental fires.

Gas hobs have become popular for cooking due to their speed and accuracy. They are able to quickly reach a high temperature making them ideal for cooking meats in the sea or boiling water. They can be set to lower temperatures for delicate foods and sauces. Additionally, a gas hob is less likely to cause food to stick, which can be a problem for some electric cooktops.

Gas hobs are not as energy-efficient however they consume very little electricity. They also come with a lower initial purchase cost than induction models which makes them an attractive option for kitchens on tight budgets. However, the ongoing costs of a gas stove are determined by the local natural gas or LPG prices which can differ greatly.

A lot of our hobs have a sleek and minimalist design and are suitable for open-plan living.

It's important to know the health risks that come with a gas cooktop. Studies have revealed that gas hobs produce indoor air pollution that is far more than the UK and EU standards for air quality. These pollutants are caused by the interaction between a naked flame and vaporised oil that is released from the cookware. This is particularly common when using non-stick pans, which are typically used with gas hobs. In order to minimise the danger of these contaminants, it's important to avoid burning any flammable materials near a gas burner.

Electric hobs

There are many options available to you regardless of whether you're looking for an electric hob in your kitchen or to replace an old one. You should consider your cooking needs and the way you'd like your new stove to be designed. However, you must also consider practical considerations like the amount of space you have available and what energy efficiency rating you're looking for.

A popular option for modern homes, electric hobs can be found in a variety of styles and finishes ranging from simple coil hobs, to elegant glass or ceramic models that have touch controls. Electric hobs are relatively simple to clean, and typically provide better control of temperature than gas hobs. However, they do take longer to heat and cool down.

Another style of hob that's become a firm favourite with homeowners is the domino hob that comes in electric and ceramic versions. Designed to fit in the same space as your kitchen worktop, these hobs feature an even surface that's easy to clean while heating elements are hidden underneath. The hobs are illuminated with bright red when turned on and distribute heat evenly across the cooking area.

The greatest aspect of domino hobs is that they're ideal for those who wish to mix the look and feel of ceramic or induction models with the flexibility of a gas hob. They can accommodate griddles, teppanyakis and standard hob zones to create a unique dining experience.

Ceramic and induction hobs have a sleek, elegant finish that looks really contemporary in any kitchen, while offering a number of useful features. For example, some have an energy boost feature that can instantly increase the power of a particular cooking zone, perfect for when you're in a rush to cook something. A lot of them have safety features, like hot indicators that alert you when the area is still too hot to touch, or child locks which prevent anyone from operating the cooker.

Induction hobs

Induction hobs oven differ from electric and gas hobs in that they use magnetism to heat pots and pans instead of direct heat. Under the glass surface of an induction best hob are coils through which a variable electrical current runs; when an induction-compatible pot is placed on top, it creates the magnetic field to create electricity in the iron core of the pan, which heats it and indirectly cooking whatever's inside. These hobs are famous for cooking faster and being energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported an improvement in their overall cost of cooking.

There are some sources that claim that induction hobs release high levels of electromagnetic fields - with frequencies in the kilohertz spectrum - when used. These fields won't harm your health at a distance of normal, and they'll diminish as you increase the distance. These magnetic fields could interfere with pacemakers, so it is advised to keep a minimum to ten centimetres distance between the appliance and the pacemaker.

Induction hobs require special cookware. They require a flat bottom, and are typically made of steel or iron with a magnetic layer added; cast iron is a popular choice however, you can find stainless steel with an induction compatibility or copper, as well as aluminium (check the label to determine if they are compatible). Some hobs come with dual rings that have smaller and larger cooking zones to fit various pan sizes.

Most induction hobs have an electronic control system that includes power bars in each cooking zone and you can select the temperature you prefer by sliding your fingers across the power bar - left to right increases the power and right to left decreases it. Some hobs also come with a slider that functions like the one found on an iPhone. You simply swipe your finger to select the ring and then tap the power bar to select the desired setting.

Certain hobs have the option of a child lock to prevent children from accidentally turning on the hob or altering settings. This feature is included on most of the hobs we've reviewed and is a great way to ensure that parents are safe. We recommend that hobs are handled with care and placed in a manner that isn't easily tripped or sat on.

Glass with gas

Gas on glass hobs have a a sleek look which is ideal for modern modular kitchens. They have a sealed flame which prevents dust and impurities from getting inside. They are also easy to clean, making them an excellent option for busy families.

The glass used in these types of hobs is toughened glass that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners are coated with chromium and stainless steel to increase durability. These features make the hobs durable and long-lasting. These features are essential, especially in terms of safety.

One of the main benefits of gas on glass cooktops is that they are easier to clean than traditional stainless steel models. It is crucial to keep in mind that only flat-bottomed pots and pans are recommended for use on a cooktop made of glass. This is because a round bottom can cause excessive surface to come in contact with the burners, which can result in overheating and causing damage.

Glass cooktops with glass are also less maintenance-intensive than stainless steel models. Stainless steel stoves must be cleaned regularly to avoid burning and other damage. However glass cooktops can simply be cleaned with sponge or cloth and a cleaning solution. They also come with a built in shut off valve that will shut off the flames if they are accidentally shut off.

Gas stoves are available in a variety of sizes and finishes that can be customized to fit any kitchen style or decor. There are many options available for you to choose from minimalist designs that blend seamlessly with other appliances or an elegant and contemporary finish.
