A Guide to Hob and Oven Cooktops Stoves and ovens are crucial kitchen appliances, but there are several models that are available. Here's a quick guide to the most commonly used cooktops for hobs . Solid plate hobs are simple to use durable and long-lasting. They also heat up metal plates that can heat your pans. They're economical to run but they take time to warm up and cool down. Gas Gas stoves and hobs have many features but are very different. While traditional stoves have a freestanding physical look, hobs are built-in into the kitchen countertop and give a sleeker look to your kitchen. Modern hobs are safer to use thanks to a revolutionary flame failure system that shuts off gas if it detects low flames on the burner. A gas hob has multiple burners that permit you to cook with various methods. From boiling water to frying, you are able to easily control the heat to create the perfect recipe for your dinner. The burners can be turned individually off or on to maximize your energy usage. The main differences between hobs and a gas stove is that a gas stove comes with an angled design and a pipeline to connect it to an LPG cylinder, while hobs have a sleek, built-in design and sit level with your kitchen platform. Therefore, you won't need to think about moving the cooker should you decide to alter your kitchen layout in the near future unlike an open-air stove. Furthermore gas stoves require an additional gas line and ventilation system, which could increase installation costs. This type of hob also has more energy consumption than induction or electric models, based on the energy rates in your area and usage habits. Gas is piped to the burners of a gas hob via an opening at the back. When you turn a cooker control knob, it activates the valve regulator, which allows gas to flow into the burners. After the burners are activated, they're ready to use. Apart from their convenience and ease of use, gas hobs are also easier to clean than gas stoves. While a traditional gas stove has a lot of crevices in which food spills can be accumulated, a modern gas hob has a smooth glass surface that eliminates these issues and is easy to wipe clean. FUJIOH’s unique gas hobs are also easy to maintain, as you can remove the aluminum venturi and burner parts made of alloy to clean them thoroughly. Electricity A hob is an essential component of any fitted kitchen. It could be a gas hob, electric hob, or even a solid plate cooker, which is a classic option. These tend to offer great heat distribution for flat-based items such as pans and are simple to use. They can be a little expensive to run as they take longer to heat up and cool down than other options, but the advantage is that they're extremely durable and can be easily wiped clean too. If you're looking to get something a little more modern, an electric ceramic hob is a great choice. They're sleek and stylish with a wipe-clean fascia. The cooking rings can be controlled individually and are sized so that you can cook multiple things simultaneously, which is ideal for busy households. There are models that have a combination of induction and electric, so you can get the best of both. There are also gas induction hobs that provide an older-fashioned look, with a stainless steel finish. They can also be more controllable and quicker to warm up than a traditional gas stove. They use an induction heating element to heat your pans directly, stopping the heat from being wasted on the hob as you would with a gas cooktop. Induction hobs can be somewhat more expensive to purchase but are often less expensive to run since they heat up faster than gas and generate less heat. They are also more consistent with their temperature, meaning you're less likely end up with hot spots on your hob. Plate hobs are a more basic option that's not as energy efficient as other models, but they do tend to be much less expensive to purchase. They're a great option for those who are brand new to cooking as they're simple and simple to use. However, they're not recommended for families with kids as it is easy to burn your hands if not careful. They're also not suitable for heavy cast iron woks or pots as they can cause warping. Induction Contrary to traditional electric or gas hobs, induction cooktops won't make the ring hot and instead use electromagnetic technology to create heat in the pan. This is achieved by copper coils that are placed under the glass surface, which emit an electromagnetic signal upon switching on. This produces a magnetic current which heats the pan's metal. The benefit is that only the surface of your cooktop and not the entire surface of the glass cooktop – is heated, making it safer to handle and clean too. It also cooks food and boils water faster than traditional cooktops. However, induction technology doesn't come without its drawbacks. For instance, you shouldn't make use of non-ferrous metals or aluminium pans unless there's iron or copper at the bottom, as these are poor conductors of electricity. Today you can find a variety of induction-ready pans. These include enameled cast iron and stainless steal. Even glass, if it's made with an induction-ready base, will work. Induction hobs also use less energy and produce very little heat in the air. Induction cooktops have been awarded the Energy Star Emerging Technology Award by the EPA for their efficiency. They can save you a lot of money on your utility bills. Induction hobs can also affect certain pacemakers. This is contingent on the type you have. Speak to your GP or cardiac electrophysiologist in case you're not sure. They will be able to tell you if an induction hob is compatible with your pacemaker and if so what distance you should keep it from it in order to avoid interference. Plate Oven-safe plates are essential for any cook at home. They keep food warm and are ideal for soups and other dishes that are best served with warm food items. These oven-safe dinnerware items are made of sturdy stoneware, which is able to stand up to extreme temperatures. They are dishwasher safe as well which makes cleaning up easy. These plates can be used to serve warm meals such as fresh bread. A plate can be constructed from ceramic, glass or stoneware. Each material has distinct properties which make it suitable for various cooking techniques and applications. Stoneware and glass plates are usually the most appropriate oven-safe plates. Metal plates however, can be extremely heavy and may damage your kitchen floor. If you are considering using an oven safe plate, it is essential to read the specifications of the manufacturer to ensure that the plate is oven-safe. It is also a good idea to avoid sudden temperature changes like putting a cold plate into an oven that has been preheated. This could cause thermal shock which can lead cracking or breaking. In the UK a large kitchen unit that includes a hob as well as an oven is often called a Stove or a Range. A stove has a lower area for baking or roasting and a set heat rings on top where you can put pans to cook. It is very common to have separate hobs and ovens, but some prefer to have a combined cooker that includes both oven and hob.
