Our 4 Types of Cooking Hobs
The types of hobs available include gas, electric, ceramic, and induction, each with unique benefits depending on your requirements. Gas hobs are one of the more common and traditional types of hob, and for good reason. They provide instant heat and offer the ability to lift and tilt the pan, while still getting heat, giving you versatility whilst cooking.
Ceramic hobs provide a modern look to your kitchen and are a very popular choice in many newer kitchens. They offer a minimal look and look great in modern kitchens. They are also extremely easy to clean, in comparison to a gas hob. This is because of the flat design, they can be simply wiped clean whenever required, making the cleaning process much easier.
Induction hobs work by creating a magnetic field between the induction element and the hob, only heating the pan and not the hob. This makes it one of the safer choices from all 4 hobs, due to minimising the chances of a burn. This hob type also cools down extremely fast. Not to mention, they look very slick and modern, perfect for a minimalistic and new kitchen.
Lastly, we also provide a range of electric hobs. These are also a common and popular option across British homes, as they are a safer option than gas hobs. There is no open flame, the heat is produced and the cooking rings or zones are heated, ready to be used. Unlike gas hobs, the heat takes a few minutes to get to the optimal cooking temperature. Due to their having no open flame, they are a popular choice for households with children.
Choosing the Right Hob for Your Home
Choosing the right type of hob for your home can be tricky as there are many options, types and price points. With each type of hob having its unique benefits, it can be overwhelming to make a decision.
A gas hob is a more common option for those who cook regularly as it gives you the most control when cooking. They heat up fast and are much easier to control the temperature due to the visual aspect of seeing the flame. A ceramic hob is typically more cost-effective and is easy to clean, due to the flat surface. An induction hob is the safer option as it only heats the base of your pan, also making it the most energy-efficient hob.
