Gas Hobs

Gas hobs, also known as gas stoves or cookers, are kitchen appliances that make use of flammable natural gas or liquefied petrol gas (LPG) to power their fuel. The flame heats both the cookware as well as the air around it. This allows for fast cooking and precise temperature control. Gas hobs are designed to be elevated, which provides extra safety by preventing the body from coming into contact with the flame. This reduces the chance of burning. However, this elevated construction requires a special attention when cleaning and operating the hob to avoid accidentally spilling liquids onto the burners.

The burners of a traditional gas stove are operated manually and lit by a matches. Modern models have an automatic igniter that ensures that the gas is ignited automatically. The flame can be controlled by the control knobs. This makes it simple to alter the level of heat. Some gas hobs are equipped with multiple flame burners, depending on the model. This provides greater cooking flexibility.

One of the major drawbacks to a gas stove is that it requires a continuous supply of gas which can be a hassle when you live in an area with erratic or unreliable supply. In addition, gas hobs require regular maintenance to avoid harmful leaks and corrosion. Gas hobs should only be installed by Gas Safe Registered Fitters who can ensure that the installation is safe and adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Gas appliances are still popular in certain areas, even though electric and induction hobs have grown in popularity. This is largely due to consumer preference and environmental concerns and local energy prices and availability. As a result, it is crucial to evaluate your kitchen's utility expenses and infrastructure prior to choosing a kind of hob.


ovens and hobs uk are the most popular choice for our customers who want an elegant, modern kitchen. Magnetism is employed to heat the pans rather than the surface being heated or burning gas underneath. Under the glass ceramic surface sit copper coils that an electric current that is alternating runs through. When an induction-compatible dish or pan is placed on top of the cooker, the coils sense its magnetic base and heat the pan or pot directly. This is more efficient than traditional gas stoves and is more efficient in energy usage. The glass-ceramic surface is cool to the touch and is also easy to clean.

Like other types of modern hobs, the induction ones are also designed to be easier to clean than their gas counterparts. A simple wipe using an damp cloth is all you require to keep your induction hob looking good as new.

Induction cooking requires you to use the right cookware. All pans including cast iron, stainless steel and non-stick ones, need a magnetized base. If you're not sure whether your existing cookware is induction-compatible, a quick test is to place a magnet on the bottom of the pan. If it sticks firmly, then your pan is induction-compatible.

A variety of induction hobs is available, ranging from budget models to top brands that come with a TFT display and comprehensive operating menu. The hob will show the pan's location on the full-colour display when it is in an area of power. A control button or slider lets you to alter the power setting or set a timer. There are also clever accessories available, including pan sensors that stick to the sides of your cookware and connect to the hob using bluetooth to control the power in a precise manner.

One of our most sought-after models is an induction stove that includes a built-in extractor fan that helps to reduce steam, smoke and cooking smells. This model is perfect for homes with limited space as it removes the need for a separate extractor fan. It utilizes magnetic fields that are within the kilohertz frequency range in order to generate heat that is then absorbed by the pan and its contents. In normal operation at the distance of 5-10 centimeters, these fields conform with the reference value for magnetic flux density that was established for the relevant frequency range by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and no health-related effects are expected.

Electric Hobs

The most efficient electric hobs are sleek and designed to fit most kitchen designs. They are a great choice for those who prefer the ease of using touch controls rather than dials. They also come with a variety of options to suit your cooking requirements. They are mostly made from glass, which is easy-to-clean and stylish in a white or black design. Certain models come with the option of combining two zones in order to accommodate larger pans, and others include a power boost button that can provide extra heat for difficult tasks.

Induction hobs are gaining popularity due to their modern and clean design that fits well with today's kitchen designs. They cook fast and provide a high degree of security. They tend to cool faster than gas cookers and come with an indicator light that remains on when the cooking zone gets hot to the touch. They also are more efficient, as the magnetic field only heats the pan, not the air surrounding it.

However, there are things to keep in mind when choosing an induction hob that will require a particular power supply with the appropriate cables and breakers so we'd recommend having your electric cooker installed by a licensed electrician.
