Ceramic hobs

Ceramic hobs have an elegant and contemporary look that can enhance the overall aesthetic of your kitchen. They feature a flat glass-ceramic surface that is easy to clean, meaning spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away. They heat up quickly and are energy efficient, which can reduce the cost of electricity. However, one drawback of ceramic hobs is that they tend to be slow to change the temperature, which can be frustrating if you're cooking something that requires a quick reduction or increase in temperature.

Electric hobs consist of a solid surface that is heated from below by electric elements. These elements can be controlled individually with rotary knobs, and then tacked up to the level of power you require. You can also use the 'boost' feature to increase the temperature of a single area. Ceramic hobs also have a extremely high degree of heat retention, so they'll remain hot to the touch after being shut off.

Like any appliance, they must be properly installed and connected to the mains. We recommend hiring an electrician to ensure that your new hobs will be safe to use.

This type of hob is sensitive to the pan's size and shape. You will need to purchase cookware that either matches the element exactly or is able to fit comfortably into each of the heating zones. If the cookware isn't the same size as the element, the element won't recognize it and won't be able to heat the bottom of the pan. This could lead to inconsistent cooking results and make the hob less efficient.

Gas on glass hobs

Gas on glass hobs are sleek and contemporary in appearance. Although they may cost more than electric ones and require professional installation, they typically require less time to heat up.

Hobs with induction

Copper coils create an alternating electric current beneath the glass surface of an induction hob. When an induction compatible pan is placed on the hob, the coils generate magnetic fields that directly heat the pan instead of heating a surface of the worktop or a heated plate. Induction hobs are very energy efficient, as they don't use any heat.

They heat up faster and have a smaller heating area which could reduce the cost of energy. They also cool down faster and have a safer design without hot plates, making them ideal for families with children or older people living in the house. However, they can create magnetic fields that can interfere with some medical devices such as pacemakers so it's important to center your pans over the burner and avoid placing small pans on large burners.
