Gas hobs

A gas hob is a common choice for home cooks due to its quick heating functionality and easy control. You can usually find models that offer between two and six burners.

Electric hobs

Electric hobs are a common choice in kitchens of any design. They offer a number of advantages over other kinds. Electric hobs are able to heat up and cool down quicker than gas hobs.

The cooktop's surface is cool to the touch and many models have safety features like automatic shutoff to prevent accidents.

The majority of induction hobs have a ceramic or glass top and are powered by an alternating current that creates the magnetic field for heating. Induction-compatible pans need to have flat bases and a steel core. The magnetic field is activated when the pan is placed over the cooking area. The majority of hobs have a "bridging zone" that can join two zones together to accommodate larger pans.

Induction hobs are renowned for their efficiency and many users report a dip in their overall energy bills after switching to one. They are also believed to be more secure since the cooktop's surface remains cool to the edge, reducing the risk of burns. Additionally, it only heats the pan and its contents. This makes them safer for children than electric or gas hobs, which can be very hot.

Most induction cooktops come with different types of controls with the most basic being the simple power bar or touch mark on the top of the hob, or a fully functional TFT display that shows all the options, and lets you adjust the power levels or set timers. Induction hobs with more advanced technology come with many copper coils of varying sizes that are placed tightly together under the cooktop. The magnet beneath each coil is able to detect the time when the pan is positioned. It will activate the coil that is the right one for your pan size and shape.
