Which Hobs and Ovens Are Right For You? When it comes to hobs and ovens there are a variety of types to choose from. Which one is best for you? Gas hobs are popular due to their rapid heating and precise control of flame. They can be found in a variety of cooking pots and are ideal for cooking foods that require precise temperatures like steaks. Gas hobs A gas hob makes use of natural gas to create flames that heat pans and pots. The burners are controlled by an adjustable knob that can be adjusted to alter the size of the flame as well as the amount of heat produced. Modern gas hobs come with safety features like flame failure devices that stop the burners if the flame goes out to prevent accidental fires. Gas hobs have become popular for cooking due to their speed and precision. They are able to quickly reach high temperatures which makes them ideal for cooking meats and boiling water. They can be set to lower temperatures for delicate foods and sauces. In addition, a gas stove is less likely to cause food to stick, which may be an issue with some electric cooktops. Although they're not as efficient as induction hobs, gas models use a minimal amount of electricity while operating. They also have a lower initial purchase cost than induction models and can be an appealing option for kitchens with limited budgets. However, the costs of a gas stove will depend on your local natural gas or LPG prices, which can vary considerably. FUJIOH's range of built-in gas hobs come in various finishes that include toughened glass and stainless steel, so you can find the perfect one to complement your kitchen's design. Built-in gas hobs are not affixed to the countertop, unlike freestanding models. This makes it easier to clean. A lot of our hobs feature a sleek, minimalist aesthetic and are perfectly designed for open-plan kitchens. It is important to be aware of the health risks associated with gas cooktops. Studies have proven that gas hobs produce indoor air pollution levels that are far higher than the UK and EU air standards. These pollutants are produced by the interaction of a naked flame with vaporised oil in the cookware. This is particularly common when using non-stick cookware, which are typically used with gas hobs. To minimise the chance of these contaminants it is essential to stay clear of burning flammable materials close to a gas burner. Electric hobs Whether you're after an electric hob for your kitchen or replacing an old one, there's plenty of options available. It is important to consider your cooking requirements and how you'd like your new hob to appear, but there are also practical considerations like the space you have and the kind of energy efficiency you're seeking. A popular option for modern homes, electric hobs come in a variety of designs and finishes, from simple coil hobs to elegant ceramic or glass models with touch controls. They're fairly easy to clean and offer a more precise temperature control than gas hobs but may take longer to warm up and cool down as compared. Another style of hob that's become a firm favourite with homeowners is the domino hob which comes in both ceramic and electric versions. The design is meant to be flush with your kitchen countertop These hobs have a flat surface that is easy to clean, while heating elements are hidden underneath. These hobs glow in bright red when turned on and distribute heat evenly throughout the cooking area. The most appealing feature of domino hobs is they blend the look and flexibility of an induction model and a ceramic model. In addition to traditional hob zones, they can often accommodate griddles and Teppanyaki grills to create an unforgettable dining experience. Ceramic and induction hobs both feature a modern, sleek design that is perfect for any kitchen. They also offer many useful features. Some models have an energy boost feature that instantly increases the power of a single cooking zone. This is perfect for those in a rush to cook. For peace of mind, many have safety features like hot indicators that will alert you if a cooking area is still hot to touch, or locks for children that stop anyone from operating the cooker. Hobs with induction In contrast to electric and gas hobs, induction hobs make use of magnetism, not direct heat to warm pots and pans. The glass surfaces of an induction hob are coils through which a varying electrical current runs; when an induction-compatible pan is placed on top, it triggers the magnetic field to generate electricity inside the iron inside of the pan, thereby heating it, and subsequently cooking whatever is inside. Induction hobs are renowned for their speedy cooking and are energy efficient. Many homeowners have reported an overall reduction in cooking cost. Some sources claim that induction hobs emit high levels of electromagnetic fields at frequencies in the kilohertz band when they are used. These fields shouldn't affect your health at normal distances and they will decrease as you increase the distance. However these magnetic fields could interfere with pacemakers so it is recommended to keep a minimum of five to ten centimeters between the cooker and your pacemaker. Induction hobs also require specialized cookware. They require flat bottoms and are usually made from iron or steel with a magnetic layer casting iron is a popular option however, you can find stainless steel with an induction compatibility as well as copper and aluminum (check the label to determine if they are compatible). Some hobs have dual rings that have smaller and larger cooking zones to accommodate different sizes of pans. Most induction hobs have a touch control system with power bars on each cooking zone, so you can select your preferred temperature by sliding your finger along the power bar – left to right increases the power, while right to left reduces it. Additionally, some hobs come with an adjustable slider that functions exactly like an iPhone: you simply swipe your finger across the ring and tap the power bar for the setting you want. Certain hobs have the option of a child lock to prevent children from accidentally turning off the hob or altering settings. This feature is included on the majority of hobs we've tested, which is great to assure parents. However, we recommend careful handling of hobs and judicious placement, making sure the plug isn't easily tripped over or sat on. Gas on glass Gas on glass hobs offer sleek design that is perfect for modern modular kitchens. The sealed burner prevents dust and impurities from entering. They are also easy to clean making them an ideal option for busy homes with a large family. The glass used on these kinds of hobs is made from toughened glass that is heat-resistant and scratch-resistant. The burners have also been coated with chromium and stainless steel to improve durability. These features make them strong and long-lasting. These features are crucial particularly in terms of safety. One of the main benefits of cooking with gas on glass is that they are simpler to clean than traditional stainless steel models. However, it is important to keep in mind that you should only use flat-bottomed pots and pans on a cooktop made of glass. This is because a rounded bottom will cause excessive surface to come in contact with the burners, which can result in overheating and causing damage. Another benefit of glass on glass cooktops is that they do not require more maintenance than stainless steel models. The stainless steel stoves must be cleaned regularly to prevent burning and other damage. However glass cooktops can be cleaned easily with sponge or cloth and some cleaning solution. Additionally, these models have built-in shut-off valves that will shut off the flame in case it is accidentally shut off. Gas stoves are available in a wide range of sizes and finishes that can be customized to suit any kitchen decor or style. There are numerous options to choose from, whether you prefer minimalist designs that blend seamlessly with other appliances or an elegant and contemporary look. The Bertazzoni Professional Series 60cm gas hob features four matt black monobloc burners and precise control knobs made of metal which add to its luxurious feel. The burners are powerful and have a large capacity to heat to cook a variety of dishes. The wok ring integrated makes this a versatile choice for any kitchen.
