Ceramic hobs are a chic and user-friendly option to gas and electric hobs. They have an extremely smooth and durable surface that is easy to clean. However they aren't as fast to respond to temperature changes or to cool down as other hobs.

The Domino hob is an alternative to gas and electric hobs. It incorporates ovens under the cooking surface. They are great for kitchens that have limited space.

They are usually less expensive than a standard cooker and can be very energy-efficient however they can be brittle and require more maintenance than other types of cooker.

Gas

Gas hobs are cooktops equipped with burners that are easily fitted into the kitchen countertop for a seamless appearance. They are usually powered by natural or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) however they can be powered by propane gas. They are sleek and modern design that can bring a touch of class to your modular kitchen.

A traditional gas stove has a range of burners, usually 4, but sometimes up to 6. These are ignited with either an igniter or by turning the knob. The flames are then controlled by a set of valves which can be adjusted to control the temperature.

The majority of modern gas stoves built-in however include burners with multiple flames. This lets you control both the outer and the inner rings of each burner so that you can precisely control the cooking. These types of burners provide faster heating times and are more reliable than the older models.

In the past, it was essential for the gas stove to be constantly lit to ensure that the burners were hot and fuelled. This was a safety measure to avoid any mishaps like having the oven turned on even though the stove was lit by a match or pilot flame. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind. They come with a built-in fire failure device that shuts off the burners automatically should the pilot light fail.

Gas stoves and hobs must be inspected, cleaned and maintained on a regular basis. The best ovens and hobs uk way to ensure this is to arrange an appointment with a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

Electric

When it comes time to design your dream kitchen, the countertops, fridge freezer and oven will always get the most attention but a quality hob is equally important. Whichever type you choose, conventional, induction, or gas cooker, the type of hob you select will affect how your kitchen functions and how easy it is to keep clean.

Electric hobs have heating elements under the glass surface, which is typically wiped down with an non-abrasive cleaner. The heating elements are activated when you switch on the hob and can be adjusted to different power levels by turning a knob. It can take them a little bit longer to warm up however once they are heated, they have a tendency to offer more reliable and consistent temperature control. They are equipped with indicators that let you know whether a particular area is hot or not.

These rings are available in four to six different sizes and can be notch-up up to various power levels. They are perfect for cookware that is flat but aren't the best choice for cast iron pans as they can overheat. Certain models come with dual-ring designs (such as the Belling BEL CH602T) that permit boiling water on one ring and sauté sausages on the other. Some models have a Boost function that focuses the highest heat in one ring. This is great for stirring-frying, searing meat or boiling large pots.

Induction hobs differ from normal electric models because they employ electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware rather than the conventional method of gas flames. They can reach precise temperatures quicker and are more energy efficient. They also have a cool-to-the-touch surface and flashing heat indicators that signal that a ring is being used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramics can be used to make functional or decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay with earthen elements, powders and water, before firing it in a hot oven known as Kiln. After it's formed it can be coated or painted with decorative materials to add texture and colour.

Ceramic hobs are a stunning blend of form and function, sitting comfortably in any modern kitchen. They operate by using radiant heating technology, passing an electric current through coiled elements hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. These generate heat when activated, which is transferred to your pan through an infrared system. You can alter the level of heating by turning the knobs or touch controls.

Some ceramic hobs come with two rings, each with the smaller and the larger cooking zone. This allows you to select the right size for your pan. You can also find hobs equipped with booster burners that produce high-powered heat in a short time, great for searing meat or bringing pans of water to a boil in a short time.

Ceramic cooktops are more energy efficient than other types of hobs as they take longer to heat up and change temperatures. There are vented hobs that integrate an air-conditioning system inside the cooktop's ceramic, making sure that steam, smoke and cooking smells aren't left within your home.

Induction

Induction hobs have heating elements that are made up of copper wire coils. They generate electromagnets that heat the pans placed on the top. The coils stir the free electrons within the base metal of your pan which in turn, distributes heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove is never hot and the cooking zones are automatically shut off as soon as your pan is removed.

Induction hobs are typically more expensive, but they also are more efficient in heating and consume 30-70% lower energy than gas or other types. They're also easier to clean, because the surface of the hob isn't heated, but the contents of your pan do.

Certain manufacturers offer a specific induction model that has additional features such as a pause feature 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 for added flexibility. These are sometimes called FlexInduction hobs. They are more expensive than traditional induction models but they're well worth considering when multitasking is important to you.

Our favorite is this induction cooktop from Smeg, with four cooking zones that are large enough that have a bridge function, as well as nine power levels, giving you a variety of options for ambitious cooks. It did well during our test with fast heating and accurate control when making pancakes. The cooker comes with a built in dishwasher and automatic pan detection, which makes cleaning easier. The only issue is that there are only a few compatible pans that can use it to cook using the utensils that have magnetic bases. This can be a problem if have a large amount of cookware that is not compatible or only some of it is compatible with induction hobs.
