Gas

They are sleek and modern design that can add a touch of sophistication to your modular kitchen.

A traditional gas stove has several burners, usually 4, but sometimes as many as 6. The burners can be ignited with a match or knob. The flames are then controlled by a series of valves that can be adjusted to regulate the temperature.

However, the majority of modern built-in gas hobs have multi-flame burners that allow you to control the inner and outer rings of each burner to control your cooking. These types of burners offer faster heating times and are more reliable than the old-fashioned ones.

Traditionally, it was necessary to keep a gas stove on constantly to ensure that the burners are always hot and fuelled. This was to avoid accidents, for example, accidentally turning on an oven when the stove is still lit with a match or pilot light. Modern cookers are designed with safety in mind. They have a built-in flame failure device that shuts off burners automatically if the pilot light fail.

A well-designed hob is equally important when it comes to making the perfect kitchen. Worktops, refrigerators freezers, and ovens uk are the first things that come to the mind. Whether you opt for a conventional, induction or gas cooker, the type of hob you select can impact how your kitchen functions and how easy it is to keep clean.

Electric hobs use heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface that's typically cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaning agent. These elements are activated when you turn on the hob and can be adjusted to a range of power levels by turning or adjusting the control knob. It may take them a little bit longer to get heated up however once they are heated, they tend to provide more stable and reliable temperature control. They are equipped with indicators that let you know if a zone is hot or not.

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

Induction hobs are different from regular electric hobs in that they utilize electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware, instead of the traditional method of gas flames. They can achieve precise temperatures quicker and are more energy efficient. They have a cool-to the touch surface as well as flashing indicators that let you know that a ring has been used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramic is an element that can be used to create functional or decorative objects. It is formed by mixing earthen elements, clay powders and water into an exact shape, and then subsequently fired in a high-temperature oven, also known as the kiln. Once it's made it is then covered with decorative or paint-like substances to add color and texture.

Ceramic hobs are a perfect blend of design and function to create an exquisite piece of modern kitchen furniture. Radiant heating technology is used to heat ceramic hobs through the passage of an electric current through coiled components which are hidden beneath the black glass surface. When they are activated, they produce heat that is then transferred to the pan by an infrared system. You can adjust the level of heating by turning the knobs or touch controls.

Some ceramic hobs come with dual ring designs, with one smaller and a larger cooking zone which allows you to select the ideal size for your pan. You can also buy hobs and ovens with boosters that produce high-powered heat rapidly. This is ideal for searing food or bringing pans to a boil quickly.

You can also select vented hobs, which integrate a ventilation system with the ceramic cooktop. This makes sure that smoke, steam and cooking smells don't linger in your house.

Induction

The heating elements in the induction hobs are a set of copper wire coils that are placed beneath the surface that create electromagnets that heat the pans sitting on them. The coils stir up the free electrons inside the base metal of your pan, which then transfer heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove never gets hot and, the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones are turned off automatically.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive, however they also are more efficient in heating and consume 30 to 70% less energy than gas or other types. Induction hobs are also easier to clean since only the inside of the pan are heated and not the surface.

Certain manufacturers offer an induction model that has additional features, like a pause function that shuts off power to the stove when you leave, or the ability to link two cooking rings simultaneously at the same power for more flexibility.

Our top pick is this induction hob from Smeg. It has four cooking zones of good size, a bridge function and nine power levels that give you plenty of choice for the ambitious cook. It did well in our tests with fast heating and precise control when making pancakes. The hob also has a built-in dishwasher and an automatic pan detection feature to make cleaning even simpler. The only issue is that there are only a few compatible pans, and you cannot use it to cook with utensils with magnetic bases. This could be a problem when you have a lot of cookware that isn't compatible or certain pieces are suitable for induction hobs.
