The flame heats both the cookware and the air surrounding it. This allows for quick cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which offers extra safety by preventing the body from being in contact with the flame. This eliminates the risk of burning. This design is elevated and requires particular care when cleaning or operating the hob in order to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are controlled manually and lit with matches. Modern models come with an automatic igniter which ensures that the gas is ignited automatically. The flame can be controlled using the control knobs. This makes it easy to alter the heat level. Depending on the model, a few gas hobs also come with multi-flame burners that allow for greater cooking flexibility.

Gas hobs require a consistent gas supply, which may be an issue if you live in an area with an unreliable or erratic supply.

Induction Hobs

Induction ovens hobs have become popular with our customers who want an elegant, sleek kitchen. They make use of magnetism to heat the pans rather than an oven and hob or a plate that is heated or burning gas beneath. Under the glass ceramic surface are copper coils through which an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible cookware or pan is placed over the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is much faster than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in terms of energy use. The glass-ceramic surfaces are cool to touch and easy to clean.

As with other modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than gas counterparts. To keep your induction hob as clean as new, all you require is a damp cloth.

Induction cooking requires that you make use of the correct cookware. Stainless steel, cast iron and some non-stick cookware are compatible, but they must have an induction-compatible magnetic base.

A variety of induction hobs is available, ranging from budget models to high-end brands with a full TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. If a pan is placed in a power zone the hob will display its position on the full-color display, and also have a control button or slider enabling you to alter the power setting or set the timer. There are also clever accessories available, including pan sensors that stick to the sides of your cookware, and communicate with the hob via bluetooth to regulate the power in a precise manner.

Like other induction hobs, it utilizes magnetic fields that operate within the kilohertz spectrum to create the heat that affects your pan and its contents. In normal operation the magnetic fields are within the range of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection's standard value for the magnetic density for the relevant frequency. There are no health risks to be expected.

Electric Hobs

The best electric hobs provide an elegant look and are designed to match most kitchen styles.

Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular because they provide a contemporary and clean look that blends well with the contemporary designs of kitchens. They cook fast and offer a high level of security. For example, they tend to cool faster than gas cookers. They also have a "hot" indicator light that stays on to inform you that the cooking zone is hot to the touch.
