A Guide to Hob and Oven Cooktops Hobs and ovens are essential in the kitchen, but there are many different types available. We've put together a brief guide to the most well-known hob cooktops: It is easy to use and durable, solid plate hobs are able to heat sealed metal plates which are used to heat your pans. The solid plate hobs are cost-effective to run, but they may take a while to heat up or cool down. Gas While they share a number of aspects, hobs and gas stoves are significantly different from one another. Hobs, on the other hand, are integrated into the counter of your kitchen and give it a sleeker appearance. Modern hobs are more secure to use due to a revolutionary flame failure system that shuts off gas if it detects low flames on the burner. A gas hob comes with multiple burners that permit cooking in a variety of ways. From boiling water to frying, you can easily regulate the heat to create the perfect recipe for your dinner. In addition the burners can be individually switched off or on so that you can optimize your energy consumption for optimal efficiency. Gas stoves feature a protruding design and a pipe to connect them to an LPG cylinder. Hobs are sleek and built-in and are placed on the same level as the kitchen's platform. Therefore, you won't have to worry about moving the cooker in case you decide to alter your kitchen layout in the near future, unlike an open-air stove. Gas stoves also require a gas pipe and ventilation system, which can increase installation costs. Gas hobs tend to be more expensive than electric or induction models, based on energy rates and usage patterns in your area. When you use a gas hob natural gas is piped to the burners via an opening to the back of the appliance. When you turn the control knob on a gas hob, a valve regulator will be activated that allows gas to flow into. Once the burners have been activated, they are ready to use. Aside from their convenience and ease of use gas hobs are more easy to clean than gas stoves. While ovens and hobs has numerous crevices where food spills could be accumulated, a modern gas hob is equipped with a glass surface that eliminates these problems and is easy to clean. FUJIOH’s unique gas hobs are also easy to maintain, since you can remove the aluminium venturi and burner components made of aluminum for thorough cleaning. Electricity A hob is a key element of any kitchen fitted with. 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 products like pans, and are easy to use. They can be more expensive to run as they take longer to heat and cool than other alternatives. However, they are very durable and easy to clean. A ceramic electric hob is the perfect choice if you are looking for something contemporary. They're sleek and stylish, with a wipe clean fascia. The cooking rings can be individually controlled and vary in size so you can cook multiple things at once, ideal for busy households. You can also find models that combine induction and electric to make the most of both. There are gas induction hobs that provide a more traditional look with a stainless steel finish. They can also be more manageable and faster to heat up than a standard gas stove. They use an induction element to direct heat your pans, thereby preventing any residual heat going to waste around the hob as you would find with gas cookers. Induction hobs can be a little more costly to purchase, but they are usually less expensive to run since they heat up more quickly than gas hobs and produce less heat that remains. They also tend to be more stable in their temperature, which means that you're less likely to have 'hot spots' on your hob. Plate hobs are the more basic option which isn't as efficient in terms of energy efficiency as other hobs, however they do tend to be more affordable to purchase. They're a good option for novices as they're simple and easy to operate. However, they are not recommended for families with children because it's easy to burn your hands if you are not careful. They're also not suitable for heavy cast iron woks and pots since they could be prone to warping. Induction Induction cooktops don't heat the ring like traditional gas or electrical hobs. Instead, they use electromagnetic technology to generate heat directly inside your pan. This is accomplished through copper coils beneath the glass surface, which emit an electromagnetic field when switched on, which creates a dynamic magnetic current in the pan's metallic surface to generate eddy currents. This will the pan is heated. The benefit of this is that only the area of the pot and not the entire surface of the glass cooktop – is heated, making it safer to handle and also cleaner. It also can boil water and cook food faster than traditional models. Induction technology has its downsides. You can't use non-ferrous or aluminum pans without a layer of iron or copper on the bottom. These metals aren't great conductors. It's not difficult to find induction-ready pans with enamelled cast iron and stainless steel. Glass, too, if constructed with an induction-ready foundation, will work. Induction cooktops also consume less energy and produce very little heat from 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. Another drawback is that electromagnetic fields generated by induction hobs could interfere with some pacemakers, but this depends on the type of device you've fitted. Speak to your GP or cardiac electrophysiologist in case you're not sure. They can inform you if an induction unit is compatible with your pacemaker, and if so what distance you should keep it from it to minimize interference. Plate Oven-safe plates are essential to any cook at home. They keep foods warm, and are ideal for soups and other meals that are best served with warm food. These oven-safe dinnerware pieces are made from durable stoneware that withstands high temperatures. They are dishwasher-safe as well, making cleanup a breeze. These plates can be used to serve warm meals like fresh bread. A plate can be made from ceramic, glass or stoneware. Each material has distinct properties which make it suitable for various cooking methods and uses. Stoneware and glass plates are usually the most suitable oven-safe plates. Metal plates however, are extremely heavy and may damage your kitchen floor. If you're considering using an oven safe plate, it is important to verify the specifications of the manufacturer to ensure that the plate is oven-safe. Avoid rapid temperature changes like putting an oven that has been preheated using an unheated plate. This can cause thermal shock, which could lead to cracking or breaking. In the UK the UK, a large kitchen appliance that includes a hob as well as an oven is often called Stove or Range. Stoves typically have a lower part that is used for baking and roasting and a set of heat rings on the top of which pans can be set to cook. Some people have separate cooktops and ovens. Others prefer a cooker with both. Lhov is the first company to launch a revolutionary all-in one appliance that integrates a stove and oven with extraction into one device.
