Gas Hobs
A very popular choice, gas ovens hobs feature burner rings and a grate that pots and pans sit on. They heat up fast and permit precise temperature control. They can handle a broad variety of cooking methods, from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are usually cheaper to run than electric options as they utilise natural gas sources.
They're available in a vast range of finishes that include stainless steel and ceramic glass. These finishes give the cabinets a modern and sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design. They are susceptible to scorching ovens and hobs scratches which is why you must take extra care when cleaning them.
Regular cleaning will help keep your hob in pristine condition. This is particularly crucial if you have a more traditional freestanding model. You can take off the burner caps and grates to clean them more thoroughly, by soaking them in warm soapy water and gently rubbing. You can also make a mild paste from baking soda and use it to get rid of stubborn stain without damaging the surface.
In contrast to traditional gas stoves which are freestanding appliances, built-in gas hobs are integrated into the kitchen countertop, providing a seamless look. They can be placed on a separate base, which means they are simple to move around when you change the layout of your kitchen. However, incorporating the gas hob in your kitchen will require lots of work in construction and professional installation.
Gas hobs come in a range of finishes. From traditional white and black to the modern glossy glass, they are available in many different styles. Some come in stunning colours like green or blue to add a touch of personality to your kitchen.
Gas hobs have been used for many years and are a reliable, safe alternative. They offer precise temperature control and evenly distributed heat.

Gas hobs also come with the ability to shut off the flame when it fails. will shut off the gas when the flame is out. This can prevent accidental explosions or burns.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs are sleek and have a modern appearance. They are also easy to clean and heat up. They are available in a variety of styles from ultra-sleek and flat to more traditional rectangular and square shapes, so there's one that will suit the majority of kitchens. They are easy to clean after use because of their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators built in that turn off the zone if it's too hot to touch. This can help minimise the risk of accidental burns and is especially useful when you have children.
The flat surface of the ceramic hob is vulnerable to scratches and chips. It's even more so when you drag the pans across instead of lifting them with their handles. We recommend that you use extra care when handling and moving your cookware on and off the hob. We also recommend against using metal or magnetic cookware on a ceramic cooktop as this could cause damage to the surface.
Ceramic hobs can take longer to cool than an induction or gas hob. This could be problematic if you're working in a packed kitchen or need to quickly change from one cooking zone to another. Numerous manufacturers have made improvements to this and have a variety that can reduce cooling times by 30%.
Hobs Induction
Induction hobs warm up the fastest and are the most efficient option on the market. They are extremely hygienic and safe since they don't retain heat on the cooking zones, but there's a price to pay for these benefits because they can be more expensive than other alternatives.
Hobs Induction
A popular option for kitchen renovations Induction hobs are a stylish alternative to traditional gas cooktops. The pan is heated instead of the ceramic or glass surface. This reduces energy consumption and makes them safer to use. They also cool down faster than traditional hobs, which means they're less difficult to clean.
Copper coils are located beneath the smooth, glossy ceramic/glass surface of an induction hob. A current of alternating electrical energy is pushed through them. When a compatible pan is placed on the cooking area the coils instantly generate heat through magnetic induction. This allows you to cook more efficiently as there is no loss of heat from the pan itself.
You'll find an induction hob and oven that suits your style. If you're looking for something simple to use, choose a model that has a touchscreen display showing the position of the pan within each of its zones. When you tap on the display, you'll be able access a thorough menu for operation, changing the power setting or timer. Some induction cooktops provide pre-programmed settings for specific recipes or types of food - a great feature to cut down on time and effort when cooking.
Induction hobs are also considered one of the most energy-efficient cooktops available, since they don't generate any residual heat and use less electricity than traditional electric hobs. However, since they generate magnetic fields, they can interfere with medical equipment like pacemakers, so it's recommended to stay away from them.
Our suggestion is to select a premium induction hob with an extractor built-in. This removes steam, smoke and odours from the air as you cook, meaning it can be used with a wider selection of cooking equipment. Select one with a dual flex zone. This allows you to connect two zones on the left side to accommodate larger pots.
If you're looking to purchase a durable hob that is resistant to tough stains, try models with Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating. The coating is five times stronger than the ceramic coating that is standard and protects against scratches, stains, and chips. To remove any burnt-on food residues, employ a nonabrasive cleaner or scrubbing pads. Avoid cleaning products with abrasives that can scratch the ceramic surface.
Electric Hobs
Electric hobs are an essential feature in modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are elegant and easily fitted into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them a great choice for busy families.
Electric hobs unlike gas hobs, do not have a flame. Instead, they use an element which rises through ceramic glass to heat food directly. They're also more economical to run as they can be turned off when not in use, saving your money on energy bills.
It's important to note that not all hobs are created equal. Some hobs are more advanced and include features such as automatic safety shutdown, a digital display, that clearly displays the temperature and power levels, as well as cooking time. Some models have a boost feature that increases the speed and power of the appliance.
Electric hobs are also simpler to clean due to their flat surface. Spills and splatters can easily be wiped away without having to scrub the grates. This means that your hob will last longer.
Electric hobs are an excellent choice for families. However should you have pacemakers, you are not able to use this type of hob because its electromagnetic field could interfere with the device.
