10 Startups Set To Change The Oven Hob Industry For The Better

Which Oven Hob Is Right For Your Kitchen?

Oven hobs are at the heart of any kitchen, and there are numerous options to choose from. We have a variety of cooking rings from four to six, some with additional features, such as pan supports.

They heat up quickly and cool down quickly, with even temperatures on the cooking surface. Professional chefs usually prefer them due to their being simple to control.

Gas Hobs

Gas hobs are a very popular option. They feature burner rings, and a grates that pots and pans rest on. They are quick to heat up and offer precise temperature control. They can also accommodate many cooking techniques, from boiling water to searing meats. Gas hobs are generally less expensive to run than electric hobs because they use natural gas sources.

These are available in different finishes like stainless steel, ceramic glass and more. These finishes give them modern and sleek appearance that will complement any kitchen design. They are prone to scratching and scorching, so you should take extra care when cleaning them.

Regular cleaning is key to keeping your stove in top condition, especially if you have one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can remove the grates and burner caps to clean them more thoroughly, by soaking them in warm soapy water, then gently rubbing. You can also make a mild baking soda paste and use it to clean staining that is difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

Unlike traditional gas stoves, which are appliances that stand on their own, gas hobs with built-in gas are integrated into the kitchen countertop creating a seamless appearance. They can be placed on a separate foundation, so they are simple to move when you move or alter the layout of your kitchen. However, building a gas hob into your kitchen requires a lot of construction work and professional installation.

Gas hobs come in a range of finishes. From traditional black and white, to the modern glossy glass, they come in many different styles. Some come in stunning colours such as green or blue to add a touch of personality to your kitchen.

Gas hobs are a safe and reliable option that has been in use for a long time. They offer precise temperature control, evenly distributed heat and are more energy efficient than other cooking methods. However, it is important to practice proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents.

Gas hobs also feature a flame failure mechanism that will shut off the gas when the flame is out. This helps to prevent any accidental explosions or burns.

Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic hobs have contemporary, sleek appearance and is surprisingly quick to warm up and clean. They are available in a variety of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square shapes, so there's a design that will suit the majority of kitchens. Their flat surface makes them easy to wipe down after use. They often have built-in residual heat indicators that turn off the zone when it's been used and becomes too hot to touch or clean after just a few minutes. This can help minimise the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially beneficial if you have young children.

However the flat surface of a ceramic hob could be susceptible to chips and scratches. This is a bigger issue if you drag pans across it rather than lifting them up with their handles, so we advise taking extra care when handling and moving cookware onto and off the hob. We also recommend to avoid using metallic or magnetic cookware on ceramic hobs since they can damage the surface.

Another drawback of a ceramic hob is that it can take longer than gas or induction to cool down. This can be an issue if you're working in a busy, noisy kitchen or wish to quickly switch from one cooking area to another. Many manufacturers have improved this, and offer a selection that can cut down cooling times by 30 percent.

Hobs induction

The Rolls Royce of hobs, induction hobs are among the fastest to get hot and are the most energy-efficient option available. Induction hobs are extremely clean, safe and don't retain any heat in the cooking area. However they can be costly.

Induction Hobs

Induction hobs are the most popular choice for kitchen remodeling. They are a stylish option to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated instead of the ceramic or glass surface. This means that they consume less energy and makes them safer to use. They cool faster than traditional hobs and are easier to clean.

In the shiny, smooth glass/ceramic surface of an induction hob sit copper coils through which an electrical current that is alternating runs through. When a suitable pan is placed on the cooking area, the coils instantly generate heat through magnetic induction. This lets you cook more efficiently since there is no loss of heat from the pan itself.

Many induction hobs come with a wide range of features, so you'll be able to find one that is perfect for your needs. If you're looking for something that is easy to control, you can opt for a model with an entire touchscreen display that shows the position of the pan in every single zone. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough menu for operation, changing the power settings or the timer. Some induction hobs will even offer pre-programmed settings to specific recipes or types of food - a great feature to reduce time and effort when you're cooking.

Induction hobs are also considered to be one of the most energy-efficient cooktops, as they produce no residual heat and consume less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, because they create magnetic fields, these can interfere with medical equipment such as pacemakers, and it is recommended to stay away from them.

We recommend choosing a premium induction stove that has an integrated extractor. This will eliminate smoke, steam and odours as you cook. It can also be used with a large selection of cooking tools. You'll also get the most price for your money if choose one with dual-flex zones. This allows you to join two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pans.

If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that will withstand staining, you should consider models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. The coating protects against scratches, chips and stains. According to Hotpoint, is five times stronger than their normal ceramic coating. It is still recommended to use a non-abrasive cleaner or scrubbing pad to get rid of food residues that have been burned and avoid cleaning products that contain abrasives that could scratch the ceramic surface.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are stylish and practical. They are sleek and can be easily fitted into any decor. Their efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy families.

Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, don't use an open flame. Instead, they use an element which rises through ceramic glass to cook food directly. Electric hobs are also more efficient in terms of energy use as they can be shut off when they are not in use.

It's important to keep in mind that not all ovens are created equal. Some are more sophisticated than others, with features such as automatic safety shutdown and a digital display that clearly displays power levels, temperatures and cooking times. Certain models also come with an increase function that boosts the speed of the element to give it more power.

Electric hobs are also much easier to clean because of their flat surface. Spills and splatters are easily removed without needing to scrub the grates. This means your hob will last longer.
