Hobs
There are a large number of different types and styles of hob available to accommodate both your preferred method of cooking and your home kitchen arrangement. These range from popular gas hobs, to electric hobs such as induction and ceramic hobs, through to specialist domino and dual fuel hobs...
Hobs
Gas, electric or induction hob?
Cook a lot on the hob? Each type has great points. Gas hobs give you control, electric hobs are easy to clean and induction hobs are energy efficient.
Induction Hobs
Electric hobs with the latest induction tech, for instant heat and safer cooking.
Find the right oven
Gas Hobs
Gas hobs use gas with visible flames to heat pots and pans. They offer instant heat and are easy to use.
Ceramic Hobs
Ceramic hobs use a heating element covered with a smooth glass surface which is easier to clean.
Induction Hobs
Induction hobs use magnetic fields to heat only the pan not the hob surface. They offer greater efficiency and are easy to clean.
Solid Plate Hobs
Sealed plate hobs use a heating element in direct contact with the pan to transfer heat.
Which is the easiest hob to clean?
Induction hobs are definitely the easiest to clean, the surface is smooth and flat, you’ll be able to simply wipe it clean as food won’t burn to the surface.
Ceramic hobs come second, they are similar to induction hobs as they can be easily wiped clean, however the surface does get hot and you’ll need to wait before wiping them down.
Sealed plate hobs are a little trickier to wipe clean, the plates can get in the way and food can burn to the surface around the plates.
Gas hobs are the most time consuming as there are more parts to it. Food can burn to the surface and you’ll need to remove the pan supports to wipe it down and these may even require cleaning too.
What size hob do I need?
There’s no general size for hobs, they come in lots of different sizes to suit different kitchen designs. The most common have four burners or cooking zones. It all depends on what you tend to cook and how many zones you think you can manage with. When choosing your hob, consider the space you have available, the hob will need space around it, as it cannot be fitted on the edge of a unit.
