Gas Hobs

They can handle a broad variety of cooking methods, from boiling water to searing food. Gas hobs are typically less expensive to run than electric hobs because they use natural gas as a source of energy.

They're available in a vast range of finishes that include ceramic glass and stainless steel. These finishes give cabinets a modern and sleek appearance that can be integrated into any kitchen design.

Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your hob and oven's pristine condition, particularly if you are using one of the more traditional freestanding models. You can take off the burner caps and grates to clean them more thoroughly, by taking them out of the soapy water and scrubbing gently.

Ceramic Hobs

They come in a range of styles ranging from ultra-sleek flat to more traditional rectangular and square designs, so there's a style to suit most kitchens. They are easy to clean after use due to their flat surface. Some also have residual heat indicators built in which shut off the zone if it is too hot to touch. This can reduce the chance of burns that happen accidentally and is especially useful when you have children.

This is more of a issue if you drag pans across it, rather than lifting them by their handles, so we suggest taking extra care when handling and moving cookware on and off the hob.

This reduces energy consumption and makes them safer to use. They also cool down more quickly than traditional hobs, meaning they're less difficult to clean.

The coils are activated by magnetic induction when a compatible pan or pot is placed on the cooking area. 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 find one that fits your preferences. If you're looking for something that's easy to use, you can choose a model that has a touchscreen display showing the pan's position in each of its zones.

Electric Hobs

Electric hobs are an essential feature in many modern kitchens. They are fashionable and practical. They are elegant and easily integrated into any decor. Their energy efficient heating makes them an ideal option for busy families.

Instead of gas, which ignites a flame to heat the pan, electric hobs use an element that floats through the ceramic glass and then directly heats whatever is on the top. Electric hobs are also more energy efficient as they can be turned off when they are not in use.

It's important to note that not all stoves have the same features. Some are more sophisticated than others, featuring features such as an automatic safety shut-off and a digital display that clearly shows the power level, temperature and cooking times. Certain models also include a boost function that increases the speed of the element to give it additional power.

Another advantage of an electric hob is its flat surface that makes it easier to clean than a traditional gas model. Spills and splatters can be easily cleaned away without the need to scrub the grates. This means that your hob will last longer.
