A Guide to Hob and Oven Cooktops

Hobs and ovens are a kitchen staple however, there are a variety of models available. Here's a quick guide to the most common hob cooktops.

Easy to use and robust solid plate hobs are durable and easy to use. They heat up sealed metal plates that heat your pans. The solid plate hobs are cost-effective to run, but they can take some time to cool down or heat down.

Gas

Gas stoves and hobs have many features but are very different. Hobs on the other hand are installed into the counters of your kitchen and give it a sleeker look. Modern hobs are more secure to use due to a revolutionary flame failure system that shuts off the gas when it detects low flames on the burner.

A gas hob comes with multiple burners that permit you to cook using different methods. You can control the heat intensity for any recipe, ranging from boiling water to frying. Additionally the burners can be separately switched off or on so that you can optimize your energy usage to achieve maximum efficiency.

Gas stoves feature a projecting design and a pipe that connect them to an LPG cylinder. Hobs are sleek and built-in and sit on the same level as your kitchen's platform. This means that you don'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.

Moreover, gas stoves require an additional gas line and ventilation system, which can increase installation costs. This kind of hob tends to have a higher utility cost than induction models or electric models, depending on the energy rates in your area and usage habits.

When you use a gas hob natural gas is pumped to the burners via an opening to the back of the appliance. When you turn the cooker control knob, it activates the valve regulator, which allows gas to flow into the burners. Once the valve regulator is activated, the cooktops are ready to cook.

Gas hobs, aside from being easier to use and more convenient, are also simpler to clean than gas ranges. A gas stove that is conventional can have many crevices that food spills can build up. A modern hob has flat glass surfaces which eliminates this problem and is easy to clean. The unique gas hobs made by FUJIOH are also easy to maintain, since you can remove the aluminum venturi and burner components made of aluminum for thorough cleaning.

Electric

A hob is an essential part of any fitted kitchen. It can be a gas or electric hob. A solid plate cooker is an option. They provide excellent heat distribution for flat products like pans, and are easy to use. They can be a little expensive to run as they take longer to warm up and cool down than other options but the good thing is, they're extremely durable and can be easily wiped clean too.

Ceramic electric hobs are the ideal choice for those who want something more contemporary. The fascia can be cleaned and they look stylish. The cooking rings can be individually controlled and can be adjusted in size, allowing you cook multiple dishes at once. This is perfect for families with a lot of work to do. There are also models which combine induction and electric, so you get the best of both worlds.

There are gas induction hobs that provide more traditional appearance with a stainless steel finish. They're also quicker to heat than a standard gas hob and can be easier to manage. They employ an induction element to direct heat your pans, which stops any residual heat being wasted around the hob as you would find with gas cookers.

Induction hobs can be somewhat more expensive to purchase but are often less expensive to run since they heat up quicker than gas hobs and produce less heat. They also are more consistent with their temperature, meaning you're less likely to end with hot spots on your hob.

Plate hobs are the more basic option that's not as efficient as other hobs, however they're much cheaper to buy. They're an excellent choice for those who are new to cooking, as they're easy and simple to use. However, they are not recommended for families with children as it is easy to burn your hands if not cautious. They're also not suitable for heavy cast iron woks or pots as they could warp.

Induction

Induction cooktops don't heat the ring like traditional electrical or gas cooktops. Instead, they employ electromagnetic technology to generate heat directly in your pan. This is accomplished by copper coils that are located beneath the glass surface that emit an electromagnetic field when turned on, which creates a dynamic magnetic current in the pan's metallic surface to induce eddy currents and the pan is heated.

This is because only the cooking pot is heated and not the entire glass surface. It is safer to touch and it is also cleaner. It also can boil water and cook food faster than traditional models.

However, induction technology doesn't come without its drawbacks. For instance, you shouldn't use non-ferrous metal or aluminium pans without iron or copper at the bottom, since these are poor conductors of electricity. Thankfully, it's easy to find induction-ready pans today with enamelled cast iron and stainless steel. Even glass will work provided it has an induction-ready bottom.

Induction hobs also use less energy and release little heat from the air. Induction cooktops were awarded the Energy Star Emerging Technology Award by the EPA for their efficiency. They can save you a significant amount of money on your electricity bills.

Another issue is that the electromagnetic fields produced by induction hobs may affect some pacemakers, however this is contingent on the type of device you've fitted. Consult your GP or cardiac electrophysiologist if you are unsure. They'll be able to inform you on whether an induction hob will work with your particular pacemaker, and, if it is the case, how far from the device you should keep it to minimise interference.

Plate

Oven-safe plates are essential for any cook at home. They keep food warm, and are perfect for soups and other meals that are best hob served warm with food items. These oven-safe dinnerware pieces are made from durable stoneware that can withstand high temperatures. These plates are dishwasher safe and make cleanup easy. You can also use them to serve fresh bread or other items that are best oven enjoyed while still warm.

A plate can be made from stoneware, glass or ceramic. Each material has its own unique properties and strengths that makes it suitable for a variety of cooking methods and applications. For oven-safe plates, stoneware and glass are the most commonly used options. Metal plates can be heavy and can damage your kitchen flooring. If you're thinking of using a safe oven plate, it is important to check the manufacturer's specifications to make sure that the plate is oven-safe. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as putting an oven preheated with plates that are cold. This can result in thermal shock that can cause cracking or breaking.

In the UK a huge kitchen unit that contains a hob and an oven is often called a stove or a range. Stoves typically have a lower part for roasting and baking, and a set of heat rings at the top of which pans can be set to cook. It is quite common for people to have separate ovens and hobs ovens, but some people prefer a cooker that has both a hob and an oven.

Lhov is the first company to present an innovative all-in-one appliance that integrates a stove and oven with extraction into a single device. Its ultra-linear design and black glass makes it virtually invisible in your kitchen, while its innovative features and many different cooking areas and techniques offer unbeatable performance and aesthetics. It even lets you control the appliance using a voice assistant. Furthermore, the innovative extraction system can remove vapors and odors from the stove as well as the oven, allowing you to enjoy healthy and delicious meals with no stress.
