201 products
When selecting a hob, you’re choosing a key component of your kitchen that will affect your cooking efficiency and overall kitchen design. Hobs come in various types and configurations, each offering different cooking methods to suit your culinary needs.
Start by considering the type of hob that best fits your cooking style and kitchen setup. The main types include:
-
Gas hobs: Provide precise heat control and are favoured by many professional chefs. Ensure the hob is compatible with your kitchen’s gas supply and consider models with flame failure devices for added safety.
-
Ceramic hobs: Feature a smooth, easy-to-clean surface with radiant heat elements underneath. They offer consistent heating and a sleek appearance. Look for models with temperature controls and easy-to-clean surfaces for efficient cooking.
-
Induction hobs: Use magnetic fields to heat pots and pans directly, providing fast and energy-efficient cooking. Ensure your cookware is induction-compatible and consider features like touch controls and boost functions for enhanced performance.
-
Dual-fuel hobs: Combine gas and electric elements, offering flexibility and versatility in cooking methods. Check that the hob has efficient heat distribution and easy-to-use controls for both cooking types.
-
Venting hobs: Integrate a built-in extractor system to remove smoke and odours directly from the cooking surface. Ideal for kitchens without overhead extraction, these hobs offer a clean, streamlined look and help maintain a fresh cooking environment. Look for models with effective filtration systems and easy-to-clean components.
Size and configuration are also crucial. Hobs come in various sizes and configurations, such as two, four, or six burners or zones. Ensure the hob fits your kitchen layout and meets your cooking needs.
Energy efficiency is an important consideration to minimize running costs. Look for models with high energy ratings and features like power management to optimize energy use.
Additional features to enhance your cooking experience include automatic pan detection, which ensures heat is only applied when a pan is in place, and safety locks to prevent accidental changes to settings. Touch controls and digital displays offer precise control and ease of use.
