Types of Ovens Hobs

Hobs are at the heart of any kitchen, whether boiling an kettle or roasting a chicken. They are available in a variety of sizes and Ovens Hobs styles, and there are different hob designs to choose from including gas, electric ceramic, and domino.

Electric hobs have smooth surfaces and are easy to clean, but take a while to heat up or cool down. They are also only compatible with flat-bottomed pans and may have heat indicators.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have revolutionised the way we cook, offering modern and sleek design whilst remaining easy to use. They work with heating elements that are placed under the tempered glass surface to distribute heat quickly and evenly across your cookware. Ceramic hobs are available in various styles, ranging from traditional electric and gas burners to more modern designs. The majority feature a black glazed surface that is tough and resistant to chips and scratches.

The smooth flat surfaces of these stoves are easy to clean and wipe down in one go - you can even use the majority of household cleaners. These hobs do not have open flames, which means they are safe for families with children or elderly relatives. Typically, they feature the option of a touch or rotary control to ensure safety as well as a residual heat indicator which warns you when the area remains hot even after the pan has been removed from the stove.

They are more expensive than a basic electric hob but are less expensive than an induction model and can be a good option for those who do not have gas at their home. Like induction models, these are more efficient if you cookware has flat bottoms that maximize the area of contact with elements. Pots and pans that aren't exactly the identical size of your appliance will not be recognized by the heating system so won't function properly.
