The hob is the central point of any kitchen and can have a significant impact on the final outcome of your cooking. There are many different kinds of hobs, and the one you pick will depend on what your particular cooking needs are.

Gas hobs are a classic option. They are quick to heat up and respond instantly to temperature changes. Professional chefs prefer them because they provide precise control. However, they are not as easy to clean as other hobs and could require a higher level of maintenance.

Electric hobs are a flat ceramic surface that has heated elements underneath and can be found in various sizes, with between four and six cooking zones. Each zone has its own heating element that you can control individually. This allows you to boil potatoes on one ring and making sausages in another. This type of hob can be quicker to heat than gas and is an option for children to be safe as the cooking zone only becomes hot when you place a pan on it.

Traditional ceramic hobs are a very user-friendly alternative to electric and gas and are also a fashionable option. They have an extremely smooth and durable surface that is easy to clean. However they aren't as quick to respond to temperature changes or to cool down as other hobs.

Domino hobs are an alternative to gas and electric hobs that combine ovens below the cooking surface. They can be incorporated into smaller kitchens that have little space for installation and are suitable for kitchenettes and flats. They are usually more affordable than standard hobs and can be energy-efficient, but they are also susceptible to damage and require greater maintenance.

Gas

A gas hob is a cooking surface with burners that can be installed on kitchen countertops to give seamless appearance. Gas hobs are typically powered by LPG or natural gas, but they can also be powered by propane gas. They feature a modern and sleek design that can bring a touch of class to your modular kitchen.

A traditional gas stove comes with a number of burners. The majority of them are four, but there can be as many as six. They are ignited by either a match or by turning a knob. The flames are controlled by the valves that can be adjusted to regulate temperature.

The majority of modern gas stoves built-in on the other hand include burners with multiple flames. This allows you to control both the inner and outer rings for each burner, so that you can precisely control the cooking. These kinds of burners allow for much quicker heat up times and are more reliable than traditional ones.

In the past, it was essential for gas stoves to be constantly lit to ensure that the burners were hot and fuelled. This was a safety measure to avoid any mishaps like not turning off the oven when the stove was lit by a match or a the pilot flame. Modern cookers are made with safety in mind as a top priority. They are equipped with a fire failure device that shuts off the burners when the pilot light is not working.

Gas stoves and hobs have to be regularly checked and cleaned, as well as maintained. The best ovens and hobs way to ensure this is to schedule a maintenance visit with a licensed Gas Safe registered engineer. Not only will they be able to ensure that your appliance is operating properly as well, but they'll offer expert advice and guidance on how to prevent any problems in the future.

Electric

A quality hob is just as important when it comes to making your kitchen the best hob it can be. Worktops, refrigerators, freezers, and ovens are the first things that come to mind. The type of hob that you select will influence the way your kitchen functions and how easy it is for you to clean.

Electric hobs feature heating elements that are placed on a smooth glass surface. The glass surface is typically cleaned with a nonabrasive cleaning product. The heating elements are activated when you switch on the hob and can be adjusted to various power levels using a control knob. They can take a little longer to warm up than a gas cooker, but once they have done so, they usually provide more regular temperature control. They also have built-in indicators to let you know when a space is being used or hot from cooking.

Typically, they are available in a range of four to six sizes which can be adjusted to different power levels. They are great for cookware with a flat base, but not for cast iron pans, as they can overheat. Some models (such as Belling BELCH602T) come with dual rings that allow you to cook sausages and boil water on the same ring. Some even include a boost function that concentrates high-powered heat into one ring to stir fry cooking sauteing meats, searing or boiling large pots of water.

Induction hobs are different from regular electric models as they use electromagnetic fields to directly heat your cookware, rather than the conventional method of gas flames. This allows them to reach precise temperatures in a shorter period of time, making them extremely energy efficient. They have a cool to the touch surface, and flashing indicators that inform you whether a ring was used or is still hot.

Ceramic

Ceramics can be used to make functional or decorative objects. It is made by mixing clay, earthen elements, powders and water to the desired shape, then subsequently fired in a high-temperature oven known as the kiln. Once made it is then covered with decorative or paint-like substances to add colour and texture.

Ceramic hobs are a perfect blend of design and function to make an impressive piece of modern kitchen furniture. They operate by using radiant heating technology, hob and oven passing an electric current through the coiled elements hidden beneath the black glass surface of the hob. When activated, they generate heat that is then transferred to your pan via an infrared heating system. You can alter the intensity of the heating by using the knobs or touch controls.

Certain ceramic hobs feature two rings, each with one smaller and one with a larger cooking area. This lets you choose the appropriate size for your pan. You can also find hobs with booster burners that produce high-powered heat in a short time perfect for searing food or bringing pots of water to the boil quickly.

As compared to other types of cooktops, ceramic cooktops take a little longer to heat up and then change temperature however, once they're done they're generally more energy-efficient. You can also opt for vented hobs, which integrate an air-conditioning system that is integrated into the ceramic cooktop. This ensures that steam, smoke and cooking smells do not linger in your house.

Induction

Induction hobs have heating elements made up of copper wire coils. These coils generate electromagnets which heat the pans placed on top of them. The coils stir the free electrons in the base metal of your pan, which in turn, distributes heat evenly to your food. The surface of the stove is never hot, and the moment you remove your pan the cooking zones switch off automatically.

Induction hobs tend to be more expensive than other types however, they're also more efficient to heat and consume 30 to 70 percent less energy than ceramic or gas hobs. They're also easier to clean, as the hob surface itself doesn't get hot and only the contents of your pan do.

Certain manufacturers offer an induction model that comes with additional features, such as a pause feature, which cuts the power to your stove when you leave it, or connect two cooking rings simultaneously at the same power level for additional flexibility. These are often referred to as FlexInduction hobs. They can be more expensive than traditional models, however they're worth a look if you like to multitask.

Our top choice is this induction cooktop from Smeg, with four cooking zones of good size that have a bridge function, as well as nine power levels, giving you plenty of choice for the ambitious cook.
